I"ve been on both sides of this kind of drama. I"ve got a large group of tight friends, both female and male. Whatever you do just pass it with your friend. A true bro imo will wish you the best, realize he"s out of the game, and ask if she has some friends he can hook up with. But if he really feels like he has a emotional attachment to her prepare for some shit. If you go for her despite what he says your friendship is probably fucked, things will be extremely awkward between you three, and probably create an uncomfortable atmosphere with your whole group of friends. These kinds of things don"t go away easily either.
You really just have to look at the value of your friendship with the dude and how you think he would react. Competition is a bitch and no one likes to loose, especially if it"s gonna be rubbed in his face all the time. If it"s a real close friend sometimes it"s just not even worth it.
Well, given our past circumstances, I think he and I can really see how it could go.
In fact, one of the couple we"re hanging out with created a similar problem for us. One year and a half ago, I used to date the girl, and the guy was a pretty close friend of my best friend and me.
My story with the girl ended in blood and tears, and then her and our friend started dating around a week later when I was still not over it .I had enormous resentment against the guy, so much that I stopped hanging out with them.
My best friend was always on the fence between the two, it was awkward for everyone, and pretty hard all in all.
In the end, it did take a few months, but I got over it, and we"re now all fine and dandy again.
So, I guess we can relate to what could happen if it get shitty.
Anyway, I"ll try to avoid the "getting shitty" part. We"re all going out tomorrow night, she should be there too and I"ll try to motivate him to make a move.
If he doesn"t do it, I"ll make it clear to him that the next time, I won"t be pulling punches and that it will be hers to decide.
Well, I guess we went around the subject and there is not much else to say, so you can resume your daily life on the TGWBYH thread.
I"ll keep you updated on how it goes when something happens though.
