Last week, Cherry said:

"Me and this guy are really good friends, but we like each other more than just friends. The problem is that one of my friends likes him, too. My friend always used to talk about him with me and our other friends, but I never told her I liked him in that way. I asked her the other day if she still liked him, but she said no, not really. I'm so confused on what I should do. This guy knows that my friend likes him, but he said he would never hook up with her like that. He always makes me smile and he says I make him laugh all the time. He has asked me out to the movies, but I'm afraid to go because I dont want to ruin my friendship with the girl, but I dont want to lose the chance to go out with this really great guy either. What should I do? I need help ASAP!"

Some SmartGirls said:

  • Tell your mate you like him, and he likes you, and theres nothing she can do about it. It isn't your fault that he likes you and not her. And if shes that good a mate, then she will stick by you even if she does like him.


  • If she told you she doesn't like him, what are you waiting for! If in the small chance she gets upset, just tell her you're confused because she said she didn't like him anymore. Besides, what's the harm in going to the movies? It's not like you're marrying him.


  • Maybe you should sit and talk to your friend…Tell her you've liked this guy for sometime and vise versa and you want to know what she thinks about it honestly…If it hurts her you won't go out with him, but if she is ok with it, then give it a chance.
