Ok, so, my best friend and one of my other good friends are going out. They've been going out for about 3 months now and all of a sudden she decides that she kinda wants to break up with him. It's not that she doesn't like him it's that he doesn't ever talk to her and she kinda likes two other guys that do talk to her a lot. I didn't know this part until last night, but aparently I was the other guy she liked who she likes to talk to. I thought she was talking to me about all of this stuff just because we're pretty good friends. Now I know that she was just telling me all of what's going on because she likes me. I'm not saying I do or don't like her back because frankly I don't know myself. She asked last night if I liked her and she told me she liked me before I really even thought of her as a friend. By the way, a lot of the friends i have this year are relatively new friends. Most of the I either didn't know them or they didn't know me. Anyways, she said she liked me from the beginning of summer and I didn't really even know her yet. She is a freshman and at the beginning of summer I was still very sophomoric. Umm... well, the thing about me likeing people is kinda odd though. You see, I have always thought of myself as a goodfriend because I wouldn't do something like date a friend's ex unless I got his permission and as long as a girl is in a relationship I just don't have any feelings toward her. It's like I shut emotions off to that one person. I always thought it was a good thing and I still do but it's hard to explain to people who don't have those same "moral" instincts. Only a few of my friends have similar morals in that regard.
So, as I was saying at the beginning, she still likes him. She just doesn't like not talking to him about it. From what I know only her bestfriend (my ex-girlfriend), her, and I know exactly what's going on as of right now. As I kinda said before, Alex, the guy, is my bestfriend and of course I don't want to see him in pain. Atthe same time though, she's my friend and I don't want her to feel bad. Of course being the middle man means I am suposed to help her decide what to do. Well, I said for her to make some moves toward talking instead of always waiting for him but I don't know maybe not. IF you WANT TO. Give me some advice on the matter. I don't really want to rely on strangers but maybe you have some insight on the subject that could help.
