Relationship etiquette

Yes.

Life is not fair, and unfortunately if she chooses you over him, he needs to realize that sometimes things don't go the way you'd like them to. Man up, and keep moving forward. If he can grow up, he won't hold it against you - if he's immature, it will devolve into a petty issue. Either way, I wouldn't deign to be concerned.
 
I asked him, but the answer I got didn't make things easier. This is why I made this thread.

Even if I do have permission, I don't know if i should go out with this girl. I can't really make sure, but it seems like he's slightly emotionally fragile.
 
Question: Has he asked her out yet?

If you answer yes... and you're looking to ask her out it means he got shot down anyway, so it doesn't matter.

If you answer no... sucks for him. He should grow some balls, stop playing games and get down to business.


There's a saying that goes "wish in one hand, sh!t in another... see which hand gets filled first"... same thing goes for having feelings for girls.

No.

My friend's so-called "best friend" went out with her crush. Their friendship was never the same again.



That is because there is something wrong with your entire gender in that regard.

Do not get confused and think that I believe males are any better - they are stupid, preening, vain, egotistical, and stupid - and I say all this being one.

But there is something about you women, I don't know what it is, but you will slit each other's throats over a man, and it is damned pathetic, honestly. In many respects women far outpace men in maturity, but this is one of those petty things that almost every female I've ever met, even the better ones, fall prey to. It is directly connected to the combination of X chromosomes.

If your friend's best friend had the guts to make a move on a guy she was interested in and your friend just wanted to sit around and hope an act of God put her and her crush together, then she deserved to get left behind. Grow some self-confidence, realize that it's the other person's loss if they decide not to date you, and pursue a relationship. If you take no action, or if the person you are interested in turns you down, you have no right to complain.

Anything else is just f*cking silly and childish.

Exactly. On the money, my man.

He has had how long to ask her out?
 
i have never been in this situation... so i will just ask in general... about guys...

if a guy asks a girl out and she says no... the his friend asks if he can ask her out, and the first guy says it is ok... so he asks and she says yes... would it be an ego blow to the first guy... even if he pretends not to care?
