Basically my friend and I both like this girl alot. To make a long story short, he asked her out and got shut down, the reason being that she likes me. I really like this girl, but I don't know if I can go out with her knowing that my friend still really likes her.
There are too many other girls out there, for you to break up a perfectly good friendship over one Unless she's playboy bunny material, in which case your friend will understand. Hotwater
Bros before hoes I say. If you want to do this right, you need to talk to your friend before making a move. Yes, it'll be an awkward conversation, but buck up, be a good friend and a good man: communicate.
