I was the first one out of all my friends to get to know him and he turned out to be a really really great guy. We have so much in common and I really like to talk to him again but...And my friend was worried about me and didn't want me to hang out with him. I'm easily convinced by people. She didn't want me to hang out with him because she didn't like him and thought he was shady. I made a promise not to see him after what she said. After thinking about it for awhile, I liked the guy and I want to break the promise I made to her. Even if nothing happens between me and the guy, I would just like to be his friend. How do I do that without her thinking that I would put him over her? Reply to this Question Share |

Hey listen, its funny I have 2 friends in the exact same situation at the moment! You need to talk to your friend, explain that you really like this guy and that you want to see him again. It is your life, he deserves the benefit of the doubt...you have to learn from your own mistakes and take risks! Just tell your friend that you really want to see him and that you would like it if she could be happy for you...you could meet a complete stranger that you have never seen before in your life who your friends could then meet and think was a smashing bloke and he could turn out the be the biggest A*s you have ever met and he could break your heart! How can you know until you don't give it a try!!! I reckon you go for it!!! Best of luck!

Maybe your friend is jealous, but if she is genuinely looking out for you, then I think that she should be happy for you if you teller what you just told us. If she almost 'forbids' you to see this guy then she is jelous, in whih case she may need reassuring that you wont abandon her if you go out with this guy.Good luck, I say go for it
