It's hard for them to, they're very nice guys but... geeky/nerdy guys. 🙁 Not the type who can go into a bar and pick up a woman... both have been mostly using the Internet to find girls to date, but even then the success rate has been pretty low. 🙁

I'm marrying her. They never dated, but he had a thing for her and she didn't want to be any more than friends. He didn't take it well.

I've met her, and she seems like a sweet girl. I think it's just a phase right now... within the past year, she lost about 50 pounds and has recently been fielding all sorts of new attention from guys. Still, it's a bit unnerving that she can be so negligent of these guys' feelings during said phase.
I agree it's Mark's fault, too... I'm surprised he would do something like this, it really seems out of character for him. Good to hear that most guys wouldn't do the same... she must really be something for him to date her, it must be more than something physical because I don't think he'd risk his friendship with Stan just for that.
first off, the girl is not hot. i wouldnt do her, and i am normally not picky about it.
second, it's not the girl's fault. mark should have taken stan's feeling into account before dating the girl.
third, i wouldnt do it. i cant imagine sticking my dick into to the same place where my best friend has UNLESS the girl was EXTREMELY hot.
It depends on the type of girl you're looking for. A good number of my friends have ended up dating and/or marrying people that either are not native New Yorkers, or are from out of state. I've personally had better luck with women outside of NY than I have in NY, and I've lived here all my life.

My wife used to date my best friend, wayyy back when before I even knew her. They didn't date for long mind you, but I remember my friend saying how he "let 'the one' get away" etc etc and apparently had strong feelings for her, even a while after their breakup. We met under different circumstances, he didn't introduce us or anything like that, and when he did find out I was dating her, he was really cool about it. Of course, all the talk about her "getting away" subsided. I suppose it was weird for him for a while. The bottom line for me was my feelings for her - so in a sense I was selfish, but in love, don't you have to be sometimes? She may have been the apple of his eye at one time, but his time came and passed.
My take is that you can't disregard your feelings for someone based on their past, even if it involves one of your friends. If your feelings are strong and it feels right, nothing else matters. I am glad I gave it an honest effort (obviously) because I ended up marrying this woman. I knew within 2 weeks of dating that we would be married. And my friend is still one of my best friends, and he hangs out with both of us and there is no ill feelings or any weirdness.
I would say only in extreme cases, under special circumstances, would I have avoided her.
