You are so young! Don't worry about finding love right now!

Your crush might like you but haven't you ever heard the term 'bro's before hoes'?

Me and my girlfriends used to say 'chicks before dicks'.

Guys are going to come and go but your true girlfriends are going to be there forever. She is upset because trying to hook up with her ex is like steppin on her territory. You should never ever hook up with your friends left overs. Its just an unspoken rule.

If you think he is really worth it go for him. Just remember how it will make your friend feel. Just because she doesn't want him doesn't mean he is up for grabs. I lost too many friends over that.

Just be careful you don't want to lose a friend over some guy.

k_c100 agony auntTo be brutally honest here, she cannot be your best friend if you are wanting to go out with her ex. Friends dont do that, its an unwritten rule that you dont go anywhere near your friends ex's.

So she has every right to be mad at you....how would you feel if you split up with a guy but you still loved him and then your best friend was trying to get with him?

These two sound like they still have feelings for each other and they need to sort it out before they can move on. He says he doesnt like you that way and only wants to be friends (at least he is doing the right thing - another unwritten rule is never date your ex's friends!).

You have to accept this situation - he does not want to be with you. And you are risking losing your so called "best friend" by going after this guy. Stop it all now, be there for your friend while she is going through this hard time and stay away from this guy. It will only end in trouble unless you make the right decision and stay away from him.
