I think she's looking for a way out of her current relationship. Some women can't handle being alone.

Don't touch it with anyones barge pole until she breaks if off completely with your friend.

It's bad form to be the cause of a break up, even if you all know it was coming anyhow. If she's serious, she'll be seriously thinking of breaking up with her current BF.

Just don't be the bad guy. He IS your friend after all. I'd tell her this much if it were me. That way you can really be sure.

Do you trust her?

I would consider disloyalty as her keeping her b/f and then going out with him too instead of dumping b/f to be with him.

This is the classic lose lose sitiation. What do want more, your friendship, or a chance at love? I don't see how you can have both.

I female/male should never be allowed to come between or make you question a true friendship.

You are over analying this situation. Sounds to me like you have the opportunity to tap that ass. Be a man and give her the high hard one.

Yeah.....hit it and quit it....unless it's really good. As for your friend, if he ever finds out, you might need to learn judo or something.

You people are nasty that are saying to do it just to do it.

How would you all feel if you were female and males took advantage of you like this? I bet not very happy.

no, no, my friend is not named mik3y or ted. Sorry to disappoint ya'lls, but there won't be any drama-fest going down in the ATOT forums.

You can't do anything with her until she officially breaks it off with her current BF - who happens to be one of your best friends. You do anything like that with her before then, you risk a perfectly good friendship with the guy, and all you do is prove she's a cheater - would you really want her long term after she just demostrated she'd cheat on her current bf?

GF's of really good friends are pretty much off-limits. If she is an ex-GF, that's a gray area, but it they're currently together, forget it.

You need a "You're playing with fire, get out before you get burned!!" option

In my book ex-GFs are off limits too until they have been separated long enough to lose the emotional attachment. And even then, I would still probably ask the friend for his blessing before pursuing anything.

well, based on what you're thinking and the fact you have a girly of your own right now, go ahead and do her. nothing's going to be "permanent" until you decide you really want to settle down.

It's best to continue being evasive and dishonest.
Never, ever, tell them the truth. It can lead to a wonderful functional relationship.
