Question - (19 February 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 19 February 2008)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

This guy that i have known since 6th grade is now interested in me and im interested in him, but one of my ex-best friends has been in love with him since 4th grade.

She's a grade ahead of us and my best friend is basically like her sister and my new bestfriend is siding with her "sister" and told me that if he asks me out she will never talk to me again. I've talked to all my other friends about this and they say that i should say yes if i like him and i want to. Is saying yes to someone you like worth loosing a friend?

please help!

If he wants to ask them he will, but if he asks you then why not go. It is up to the two of you if you go out together. The only reason i would turn him down is if a good friend of mine was after him and i would tread on their toes. But if you are not good friends with the actual person, then i wouldnt worry. Just go for it if you are asked. They will get over it.

take care

This is obviously a very personal situation, but I did once say yes to a guy and lost a friend. I'm still with him now, 16months on, and I think it was worth it, but if I'd split with him earlier then it wouldn't have been.

If you're really really serious about it, and think you could actually work, and its not just a crush, then go for it. But if it's just a crush thats going to end in a week or two then it's not worth the sacrifice, in my opinion.

Good luck.
