would you let go?

Way back in high school, I liked the same guy for all 5 years. I was painfully shy back then and didn't have the nerve to tell him. So, I waited... hoping he might catch on. He was really popular, good looking and so many girls wanted him. In fact, he and I were great friends and I got phone calls at home from other girls telling me to "stay away from him." I never stayed away but I also never "competed" and he dated several of them but for very short times and very unsuccessfully. It wasn't until years later, after college, that he came to visit me out of the blue on my birthday (how he remembered, I never knew). In the midst of a fun conversation that night, I admitted how I'd felt about him all through high school... he went quiet, then looked at me and all he said was, "WHY didn't you ever TELL me?!" Then and there, I knew what could have been. Oh well... lesson learned ;) So to answer your question, in the present time if I was interested in someone and he was single and available, no I wouldn't let go again. Everyone deserves to be happy and everyone has a choice about who they might be happy with... no one else should try to control those choices :)

me and my best friend have not arrived in this kind of situation but i would say that if the guy is already taken by me then i'm confident that she won't take away the guy from me and vice versa. however, if the he's not taken by the two of us then it's up to us if we'll wait for the guy to confessed to us the girl that he likes or no confession at all if we see him with another girl. :D
