Disclaimer: This is purely hypothetical, it has never happened to me nor will I intentionally pursue any such relationship, just thinking out aloud. That said ,what would you do ? Would you think I could give it a shot and he will never know ? Or would you take the "moral high ground" and reject her .What if you could come to some sort of arrangement that this would be a one time occurrence ,would that make a difference ?.Would you put friendship over this offer ?.Would you tell your friend or talk to her first ?Or maybe you would justify your actions by saying ,she doesn’t love him anyway so what the hec_k, maybe she will love me more. The previous question though brings to the fore another can of worms though and that is what would stop her from doing the same to you ?. By the way this discussion is open to both males and females. Have you ever been confronted by such a situation and if you have how did you deal with it ?And if you were never in such a situation ,how would you deal with and please state your reasons for this approach

Ok I got confused there, so its your best friend's girl...All right, then my answer is no. Do not get involved with her. It is not about whether she will do to you what she is doing to her bf, but the idea that she is your best friend's love. You may end up losing your friend. Friends are harder to find.

any girl or guy that would make a pass at their partner's best friend is not somebody that i'd want to be around & i would have to tell him or her about it. i would also tell them if they didn't tell my best friend what they had done i would.people shouldnt be so unfaitful. i would not put anybody like that over a best friend.if u took them up on the offer then they'd turn aroung & do the same thing to you. once a skunk always a skunk, in my book. i would never feel comfortable being around them again. people do alot of things to ruin a good friendship, to me they are pretty important. it's probably going to cause trouble between thee friends anyway.

I agree with you Antique ,a good girl should never do that and there is always the possibility that they would do the same to you.Thank you for your answer

I have never been involved in such a matter but believe it can only lead to hurt feelings for at least one of the three involved. Either you, the girl or the best friend will be hurt in one way or another if something were to happen between you and the girl. The best friend would be betrayed by both the friend and the girlfriend. The girl could become hurt by you even if something were to happen. Later down the road you may begin to feel guilty and end the situation. Or you could be hurt by the fact that she is still the best friend's girl. I would say I would leave the situation alone unless you know the best friend only has the intention of using the girl with every intention of finding someone else, once the right one comes along.

You have adequately adressed all the outcomes that are possible.I think there would be too much hurt going around and something i stelling me that the joys wouldnt be able to compensate for the pain and hurt and loss of a good friend .They are people though who would take up the offer without considering all the possibilities

ahaha,, nice thought, i have never been in such situation as well, though if that would ever happen? and that was a girl? and i am a girl? and she is pretty and i like her? I think I would go for it hahahaha,, it is fine to make some changes sometimes cause we live for just one time. though depends if one can take it. it must not be serious and both should know it. and it must be kept private between the two i think so, one must have trust on the other person before doing so otherwise one could be ruining his/her reputation I think, if that is so much we care about. ****cheers****

Getting involved with your best friend can go either way. One you are really made for each other thus the relationship may blossom into a good marriage. OR, two, the expectations will be different if you are an item and then the relationship did not last thus you would end up with a broken relationship and friendship. It is risky but again, you may end up with regret for not giving it a shot so ten years from now you would still ask "what if"... I think first you observe and try to confirm through her actions if she really has feelings for you. It would be embarrassing to assume and then you are proven wrong. Then if the actions are really loud enough that it is impossible to ignore you talk to her. Ask her out and talk to her about what you observe and ask what's going on. If she confirms it then ask her about her plans. Maybe she may be scared to ruin the friendship so ask. At the same time you try to ask yourself where you stand about this matter. If you love her too and there is nothing that is between you or her, then you might give it a shot. If I were in your shoe, that is how I would proceed.

I don't want to sound like a saint here but I will surely do what is right. I will not going to have a one time, short, or long relationship with my bestfriend or friend's partner. I still believe I can find the right person for me. No need to have other's.

Well if my best friends significant other made a pass at me I would tell them that I'm sorry but I'm not interested and that I could never do that to my friend, because things you do in life can haunt you for the rest of your life, and some mistakes can never be taken back, and your friend may never forgive you, and I just dont think that a roll in the hay is worth losing a good friend over so I would definitely take the high grown as you say, and do the right thing and ignore the advances or tell that person that I'm not interested.

Well, il be honest since i can relate to this discussion. it's not that i don't agree to this, it's just that some things just happen for no reason. maybe you can rationalize it but when it actually happens, urge normally takes control. unless you have the will to reject them.Iv'e had 5 different relationships, but i have always gave my bestfriend (now husband) what i always give to my x-boyfriends. i gave them once, i gave him twice...i didn't reject him because he was a guy i feel comfortable with my entire life.. i still make a pass but definitely for risk health reasons. you may hate but if only i had been normal from beginning.i was afraid at first that my husband will reject but he didn't..

Hi ronnyb,eww, my sister ex-husband did that to me before they got divorced.Well what I did was I told him there was no way I would ever get involved with my sisters husband and he is the father of my nephews.I went to stay with my parents and told them what my now ex-brother in law did.It completely freaked me out. When I started dating my b/f I also let him know what happened and why I moved away when I was working for my sister.I would have stayed for my nephews but it was a mess when my sister did something stupid that ended their marriage.I did the best thing getting out and I was hoping they could repair their marriage but it didn't happen.There was no talking to a couple of spoiled adults who were only thinking of themselves.

Kindly pass.. Tell the persons it's not right. I would tell the friend, as it seems there must be problems in their relationship if the girl makes a pass at you. And when it's you friend it's even more important to take the high road - otherwise all three will end up getting hurt.
