Is going out with him the right thing to do? He's my best friend's ex...

A female Ireland age 30-35, *breakingxpointx writes:

Okay, here it goes, there's a guy that I really like, I'm not entirely sure what love is, but whenever I see him he makes me smile and he just looks like an angel to me (corny as it may sound) and though I've had a few relationships, I've never felt this way about someone before. The problem is, he's my best friend's ex. Though I wasn't as good friends with her at the time, it was obvious that it it ended ugly. They fought a lot and both started self-harming. And around that time was when I became really good friends with her, one night I sat beside her and sat close to her and she just broke down crying and she wouldn't stop and then she wanted to kill herself and I just held her close and talked her out of it and I kept saying to her ''he's just some *******'' until she calmed down annd eventually she got better and she hasn't self-harmed since. I'm not exactly sure what happened on his end, though. Still, though I'm only in my teens, I think I might be in love. And he's always so sweet to me and hints that he likes me all the time. But I can just imagine my friend getting depressed again. Is going out with him the right thing to do? And if it is, what of my friend? Please help, to be honest this whole scenario has started me self-harming again, which is something I never thought would happen. :(

pink_fairy22 agony auntHey there,

Well to be begin I think you have to consider your friends feelings too as she is your best friend. Some people may not agree with this but I think friends should always come before guys. I think you need to sit down and talk to your friend and tell her how you feel about him and how he has been hinting to you. Tell her that you're unhappy that you're not with him but you understand how she may feel about this. How long ago was it since they broke up? But I think you really should talk to your friend before asking him out :)
