Im sorry but you shouldn't.

Two wrongs dont make a right.

I'm your age and I came face to face with that question.

I'm with that boy now, and have been for 7months but I didn't go to him.

I let him realise that it was me he was meant to be with. It was obvious them two werent meant to be, me and him were best friends and everyone thought we'd end up together but we were both like: nahh, we're just good friends.

Now we're joking about getting married etc even though theres a hint of truthness there.

You don't want to lose your friend over this.

How would you feel if you were in her place and you found out that your mate had been flirting with YOUR guy?

Exactly.

I think you should tell him to stop because it's not right. If he likes you, he knows what to do. If he doesnt, then he should stop.

If he doesnt, you should tell your friend before you get dragged into it or he tells her it was YOU that flirted with him

Tell your best friend that you feel like she dates every guy you like, but at the same time, recognize that having a crush on a boy does not entitle you to keep other girls away from him. And tell her you have feelings for the guy but that you would never go behind her back (if that's the truth). The discussion may be difficult but it may be a learning experience.

If she dates every guy then they will break up and you two can date then. It is so not ok to flirt with your friends boyfriend. You liked him first? So what? If you two were so flirty and wanted to date, then why didn't you? If you liked him and y'all wanted to date then you should have. Waiting until your friend begins to date him, then flirting and complaining just sounds like an excuse for drama. He sounds like he's just trying to be a player, and a wanna be player isn;t worth messing up a friendship.

Do nothing at all until he is single and well over her. Until then, this guy is not yours to touch, and you should limit contact. If you don't, it will be your reputation left in a mess.
