What to do if a friend likes the girl you like?

Asked by steelerspilot (180points) October 12th, 2009 from iPhone

Today, my friend told me he liked the girl I liked. I was pissed off. I know I have a better chance with her than he does. I almost think I should let him ask her out. I feel bad that I was rude to him. What would you do

It was rude of him to have feelings for someone?

Ask her out.

What have I done? I let my friend go out with her. Huge mistake.

steelerspilot's avatar

Well, the thing is… I like another girl more. The one girl my friend and I like told me she liked me. I was planning to ask the other girl out tomorrow.

Yeah right. I would beat him without even trying.

Ask her out first, if your friend says “I like her” respond with “you may like her, but I may love her”

steelerspilot's avatar

I don’t know the relationship you have with the girls but uh..
You know that they’re not property right? Relationships are consentual things.

“Have”? Are we at the shops?

@steelerspilot, please, please, please figure out a way to stop thinking of women as possessions!

Thank you.

I know that they are. I am in a part of my life that there are many things going on. Some good things, some bad things

To @aprilsimnel‘s point, you may do the asking, but the girls do the choosing. Why ruin a friendship when neither girl will choose either one of you? That’s usually how these things work out…

steelerspilot's avatar

Well, I can agree with that statement. I chose the girl I like and that is the girl I am asking out tomorrow. He chose on girl. I chose another. I can tell you that

PandoraBoxx's avatar

So why are we even discussing this?

steelerspilot's avatar

I made that decision a minute ago. I wanted other peoples input. Dang!

PandoraBoxx's avatar

Well, you said you and your friend like one girl, but you really like another girl more.

So what kind of date do you have in mind?

Sarcasm's avatar

Pay no mind to @PandoraBoxx. Don’t get ahead of yourself. Wait till she says “yes”, then decide on a date

cyn's avatar

Double date! Wait,are you asking the girl who you think is better out or ther girl you both like?

steelerspilot's avatar

The girl that I personally think is better.

This question is one of the reasons I would never want to go back to my high school days.

steelerspilot's avatar

Well they are good days and then there are the bad days

Why is it such a big deal for your friend to like girl #1, if you like girl #2 so much better? It would be selfish of you to keep him from asking her out if you have stronger feelings for someone else. The girls can make their own decisions, anyway.

Barcybarce's avatar

Don’t sleep with her, your friend will hate you for months! Just call dibbs, that’s always the easiest way to go

frdelrosario's avatar

Get used to it.

This is all very confusing, so let me clarify this for myself: ‘Your friend likes girl #1, you like girl #2 better’.

When I read that I can’t help but feel that you like girl #2 (for whatever reason, probably shallow), but you are afraid of your chances with that girl. Maybe you always thought of girl #2 to be your backup plan, and now someone is messing with that. You snooze you lose, never underestimate the competition.

markyy's avatar

What the.. See I told you I would screw up. I meant to say you thought of girl #1 as a backup.
