Only enter a relationship if your heart really tells you to. Think of the times before you went into a relationship and how you felt then. Is it the same way you are feeling now? For example, being excited about being with him? If not, then it's best to stay friends. This is one of the hardest situations to be put in because if you tell him that you only want to stay good friends then most likely the friendship will not be as close as it used to be. It will never be the same because he will feel that he needs the space to get over this.
Friendships often last longer than intimate relationships, so you have to decide what's more important to you - your friendship with this girl or a relationship with a guy that probably won't last as long as the friendship could. I would recommend that neither of you pursue this guy, and try finding boyfriends that aren't going to conflict with your friendship.
As long as you are single the first thing you should do out of courtesy is to talk to the friend's ex and explain your feelings and you would like to pursue the relationship. 'Ex' means the relationship is over so either your friend can accept the two of you will be seeing more of each other or you may have to walk away from that friendship. Other than being honest with the other partner in the picture there is no reason (only if you feel you both love each other) that you can't pursue the relationship.
Then you should probably talk to your friend about this problem. If it will affect your friendship, you both should not pursue him. Make your own personal decision about this situation.
Dating the friend of an ex can be a very sticky situation. There are many things you should consider before engaging in such a pursuit, such as.... Will this end your ex's friendship with their friend? On what note did you and your former partner's relationship end, and would he, or has he possibly disclosed any "classified" information? What is the reason for wanting to pursue your ex's friend...is it love, revenge? Granted that if your ex is not okay with their friend dating an ex partner, and the friend does this anyway, their friendship may not be as close as they thought, all of these things, and sometimes more, must be considered beforehand.
If you are the opposite gender from the gay person, then move on. You cannot pursue a relationship or expect anything from the other person, beyond friendship.
It depends on if you want to pursue a relationship with your friend, and are realistic about what may or may not happen. Any number of people have had great relationships develop with a long term friend. Sometimes the friend does not reciprocate the feelings and you may need space from them for a time until you feel more comfortable around eachother. The friendship, at least on your side, is already altered. If you decide not to tell your friend how you feel, you may feel hurt or resentful when they date other people, or you may evenutually get past your crush. Why does falling in love destroy a friendship? The best kind of love is built on a deep friendship first. How can you love someone and not be a friend? Married couples are always friends first and lovers second.
This is a compliment. When a girls states "I like you as a friend" means that your a really nice guy and your doing something right. She may not want to pursue anything more as to not mess up a special friendship.
Before you date her, perhaps consider the adverse effect it could have on your friendship with your ex-girlfriend, your friendship with her friend, or even their friendship with each other. Coming between women can be a dangerous business. If you're sure you want to pursue her friend, then be nice to her. Talk to her. Let her get to know you as your own person, rather than just as her friend's ex-boyfriend. After a little bit, let her know you'd like to date her and then let her decide how she wants to proceed.
If she ever wanted to take your relationship to the next level she would have done it by now. If you value your friendship with her then don't pursue her any further. Find another girl to date, maybe if she sees what a great catch you are she will see you in a different light.
no it isnt......it is wrong if you do somthing about it........it would be better to love from afar... if they breakup you do not take the opportunity if your friend still has feelings for her ok...
You have two choices you can make. The first choice is to ignore your friend's feelings and pursue this guy on your own. This can cause obvious problems with your friend. The second choice, and probably the best, is to openly discuss your feelings with your friend. Ultimately you must ask yourself what you value more, your friendship, or a possible romantic relationship with this guy. Don't listen to them. I was talking to my best friend, who i love. And she said that she thought that neither of us having him would be best. But I really like him and he likes me. It's an impasse really.
