Hey i am 14 and i really fancy this girl, we don't talk much but when i see her we have a great time. I would just ask her out but she is my best mates ex and he was really unhappy when they broke up.

I am really good mates with her best friend, and her best friend knows i like her but won't tell me if the girl i fancy likes me because she is sworn to screcy which i can understand and its only fair cos *emma* lets call her (the girl i fancy best mate) promised to tell no-one.

Confusedinthecity84 agony auntI'd be really careful if I were you. Would you be able to live with yourself if you lost your friend? Would you rather date this girl than remain friends? It seems ridiculous, but it could easily come to that.

You could wait a while before making your move. Try talking it over with your friend when he seems to be okay with the fact that he and his ex parted ways. If he took it hard, he may see it as betrayal if you try to go out with the girl who hurt him.

Tread carefully and try to be a good friend, first and foremost.

SamuraiRick agony auntThe general rule, and this is a Man's Law I'm talking about here, is you don’t go out with your best friends ex...Unless he gives you the ok. He had a hard time with the breakup, which means she broke up with him. You don’t even have to ask him...she should be off limits to you...unless HE did the breaking up.

So this was an easy question to answer. It’s like one of the top ten man's laws.

There is of course a subdivision or loophole to this particular law...if she is HOT...and she has to be real HOT...then you are forgiven from the rest of manhood. Your friend may still disown you but hey....
