Don't go out with him. Your friends are the most important thing you could ever have. Don't sacrifice your friends for some guy-I've done it and i regret it and in time you will too if you go out with this guy. Guys come and go, but you can't replace your friends.

This is a tricky situation. Either way somebody is going to wind up a loser. But there are ways to lessen the blows if it's done in the correct fashion. If this boy really likes you and he is not interested in your friend, you should communicate this to your friend and inform her that you might be interested in the boy. But validate your friends feelings by asking her how she feels about all of this. That way, you really show that you are thinking of her just as much as yourself. If she is truly bothered by it, then the ultimate decision rests in your hands on what to do. If she okay with it, then go for it and ask the boy out. Just a word of caution though --- if you do not see yourself with this boy in the future, then ask yourself why you would want to have him potentially come between you and your friend's emotions. As they say, boys come and go but friends last a lifetime. I've gone through multiple girlfriends but I still have the same 3 best friends for the past 10+ years who have helped me through my life when I needed it. I do cherish them.

First explain to the boy that you are not interested in him ( that's what a true friend would do) then pretend like he never asked you out and move on to better things. Then go tell your friend that he asked you out but that you turned him down because you value her friendship more than someone you hardly know.

I would go talk to your friend and tell her about it 1st and if she was a real friend then she would be happy for you and if not if you like him then go out with him (but don't let it ruin your good friendship over a boy. All i'm saying is that go what your heart is telling you think about how you really feel about him.

This has actually happened to me a few times. If you have an interest in the guy then talk to your friend about it. Reinforce the importance of the friendship and let your friend know the guy has shown an interest in you and you're curious to see where it leads.

If the guy has approached you that's a surefire sign to your friend that he's not interested in her. If she's a true friend she'll wish you good luck and allow you to entertain the beau's advances.

Talk to your friend. Hopefully she'll understand (btw, you never said anything about you liking him... do you like him? Cause if not, then just back away). If she doesn't understand, don't get mad and go out with him. Explain the situation- that you like him but your friend does to, and even though you like him a lot you just can't cross your best friend.

It's best to leave him alone, unless you like him more than you like your friend.
No matter what she says, she may harbour some resentment towards you for a while if you do go out with him. But if she's a really good friend, she'll want you to be happy, and get over it.

I would respect my friend by saying no to the boy. Boys come and go but a friendship can last forever.

Say no. My "best" friend did this to me. She KNEW I liked this guy too!!! That was 30 years ago. I still haven't forgotten the heartbreak knowing my best friend had betrayed me... I didn't mind losing the guy - I lost my best friend. SO. If you value your friendship... guys come and go... best friends should last forever. She trusts you with her feelings for this guy... don't betray that trust by going out with him.

I probably would not go out with him if my best friend really liked him. This could ruin a friendship.
