Love Triangle--with my Best Friend?? Talk about awkward...?

Question

So. I should start off by telling you that my heart was broken earlier this year. For about a month I'd been super-bummed, to say the least; I've fallen into the habit of skipping classes and "partying" too hard on the weekends.

But a little before the falling out with That Boy, I started going to church with my Best Friend, and it's been a lot of fun, and it has also been nice to meet new people. Among these "new people," I have met a cute, decent, funny Guy. I mean, This Guy seems like everything I need--doesn't "party" much, goes to church (he's the drummer in the church band that my Best Friend and I sing in), is so sweet dealing with the younger kids--I really like him, and there is definatley potential for him liking me back.

The problem? My Best Friend likes This Guy too. We're both aware of the other's crush and we've talked about it--whichever one of us he "chooses" will "get" him, and we won't deny the other the right to a happy relationship.

Suggestions!?

Answer 1

Let him make the choice. But, if you really like the guy, you need to be willing to let your Best Friend go when he makes the decision because one of you is going to be hurt. Ask yourself if he's worth losing a friend over. Chances are he's not.

One of you should bow out gracefully. Have you tried flipping a coin?

Answer 2

Well, seems fair I guess. But I hope you two don't start calling each other on silly stuff, like you took him away while I was trying to talk with him! When it starts to get sticky like that, it will damper the two of your relationship, and it's not worth it over a guy!

Answer 3

It will get between you and your friend whom ever he chooses, you guys are setting up for the fall and its not good. What do you value more, your friendship or the boy......

I think you both should drop it....

Answer 4

This will turn ugly no matter who he chooses. Do you want a guy of best friend, either one you choose, you will loose the other.
