Hi guys,

I just need advice.
There's this girl I'm friends with right, and she and myself enjoy each others company very much.
The only thing that is stopping us from going out is her friend. I am friends with her friend (not as well as this girl i like though),
And she basically said that I met her first, so that basically means I cannot go out with the girl I like.

Now the girl i met first said that IF I went out with the girl I like, she would tear apart their whole friendship group. And so, the girl I like is now too scared.

I need some advice, should I just ask her if she likes me and go in for the kill the next time we meet, or should I just move on and sail the stormy seas?

Any serious answers will be appreciated, I'm a Dude in Distress


But the thing is, she isn't my girlfriend, shes just a girl that I met,
and a few months later I met the girl that I like, and they just happen to be friends.

Jim.

You're asking for dating advice on a chess site?

Well it is a "General Forum".
Plus it is up to you in which you read, or don't read the thread, reply/don't reply.
But any advice would be good.

It sounds as if you are trying to figure out a way to dump your girlfriend so that you can start dating a friend of hers. If that is, in fact, what you are asking about, there isn't any way to make that work and have each of the three of you still be friends with the other two. That just isn't going to happen.

Dear Dude in Distress,
Get the girl that is friends with the girl that you like to give you the elbow.
Then move in on the girl that you like. πŸ˜•
Yours sincerely, like,

-Mush



edit; you didnt say that the girl that is the friend of the girl that you like was not your girlfriend.πŸ™„

Well, that sounds like a plausible point,

It sounds like they are both valuing a weird friendship etiquette more than you. Even if you toss their odd little rule book you're left with two girls that are still trying to figure out the nature of relationships.

There is no reason not to be going out with whom you like. If they don't like that then they are not the ones to be going out with, eh? You move on to undoubtably better fish, so to speak.

Turn gay. Women are far too much hassle.

I guess the next question would be does she think that she's your girlfriend? πŸ™‚

Thank you, that sounds like a very good solution. But im not sure how I would do it though.

Any other suggestions? I'm so confused at the moment, I've tried googling it, and nothing comes up, I can only rely on chess dudes and dudettes now.

Very well said. I would give you a rep for that, but I don't think I can.

Thankyou.

How would I actually go about finding if they value their friendship more than me though?
I mean, maybe that girl does like me as well, but maybe she wants to be loyal to her friends.

How do I confront this girl that is basically threatening her?
