writes: HelloPlease help me. My best guy friend is in 'love' with a girl who I'm worried about: My current boyfriend's ex. She cheated on him for eight months in a argumentative relationship before they finally split up. My boyfriend stills tells me about her, despite how long ago it was, and how badly she affected him. I really, really, don't want my guy best friend to end up hurt if there's a way of preventing it. At the moment I've told him to take his chances and go out with her, telling him that she might've changed. Additional Information: She tried to kiss my boyfriend before they went out, while she was still going out with someone. She broke up with that person, and went out with my current bofriend before cheating on him, and dumping him for another guy. Last night, she dumped her boyfriend (the one she left my current boyfriend for) after telling my guy best friend she wanted to kiss him that day. Could this be history repeating itself? Is she bad for my friend? What advice should I give him without making him upset?

Usually I would advise people to stay out of it, let people make their own mistakes and just make sure you are there for them if anything does go wrong and they need support; otherwise they could just end up resenting you, and going ahead and doing it anyway - after all, it is their life.
However, as they arent together yet I'd say it would be fine for you to let him know what you think. You seem to have fairly strong grounds to give him warning! However I would try to keep it clear that youre just saying it with his best interest in mind, not because you dislike her as your boyfriends ex or something.
Good luck :)
