DEAR DAISY: How Do I Not Hurt My Friend?

sa

Dear Daisy,

I am a guy who is so attracted to a hot chick in school whom my best friend also goes out with. My friend however said that they are just friends. But he is hoping to be his steady eventually. Should I ask this girl out too? How will I do it in a way that my friend does not get hurt?

Mark

 

Dear Mark,

My advice: Don’t.

Here’s why:

1. Bro code. He is your best friend. You care about him. Your best friend will hate you (probably forever) if you date the girl of his dreams. And you will break his heart.

2. Go back to 1. He is your best friend. If you cherish your friendship, let this one go. Let his happiness be first over yours. Be his cheering squad, not his rival.

3. Go back to 1. He is your best friend. Golden Rule. Don’t do to others what you wouldn’t want to be done to you.

4. Go back to 1. He is your best friend. There are other girls smile emoticon
You will survive this, you will be fine.

Girlfriends may come and go, but a true friendship based on trust and generosity will stand the test of time.

Stay true,

Daisy
