relationship advice

ok so heres the story. my best friend which i consider my brother. has just broken up with his girlfriend, who im am very close with. it seems like kinda an awkward position, but i want to start a relationship with her. how the hell do i tip toe those lines. i obviously have to tell my friend. is there any good way to go about this???

NO!
There is NO good way to go about this and NO good will come of this with your friend. If you value this friendship like you say you do, don't do this.

^what she said. If you value your friendship, sit on your dick and be a friend. Why would you want to fuck the chick who was fucking your brother?

Option 1
Kill your best friend then everything will go smoothly.

Option 2
Wait a few years then go for it. Option 1 may become necessary.

Option 3
Forget it

yep

You just can't do that. You'd be breaking the sacred and ancient law that governs all men and no good would come of it.

i agree with everyone else: don't.

plenty of eligible girls out there, but replacing a brother is difficult. not to mention, it's a dick move.

if you absolutely must holla at this girl (which i argue, you don't), give it some time. let him move on; don't swoop in just after they broke up. that just makes you a shitty friend. and let him know your intentions up front before you explore things with her.

I figured that's what peeps might say. I obviously don't wanna ruin either friendship. I'll keep it under control then. Thanks for the real advice......looks like option 3

So what if he already moved on? Is it still an off limit thing?

Yes. Don't.

If you have to ask a bunch of strangers the question, you already know the answer.

How long ago did they break up, and how long was the relationship? And how serious?

I was convinced I was over my ex until I saw her with another guy, and then everything kind of sunk in. Now if that guy was bringing her around and I had to listen to him talk about her...well that man would not be my friend.

Just ask him directly. It would not bother me. You might want to ask her too.

This is the only way I can see this not being a disaster.*

If you can't ask him directly, then the questions answers itself, it seems to me.

If your friend says it's cool, then go for it. But I wouldn't just go for it.

Weiner cousins?

I've been in that situation… before i married my husband i datedhis best friend and i will admit i had a good relationship with him for the few months it lasted altho i still wasn't over my husband and i compared them constantly… and the relationship ended bad and one of my husbands (then my bf) only genuine friendship was ruined and my husband at the time was fine with his best friend and me being together but still talk about it thats the only way if u value ur friendship with him more don't do it but if u believe that ur feelings for her are genuine and its worth losing a friend then by all means go for it… but think it thru… cuz even if u go at this the right way everyone will get hurt no matter wat...

for reals.

Hey I really appreciate the legit answers. Thank you! I will just ask him Directly it will make things so much better. Thank you again all!

i really don't see a problem...what if this girl really is the one of your dreams, go forth and ask

Is there an update? I want to know what happened after you asked.

or post the hospital pictures
