Should I go for it? (Love triangle)
I met someone last week and he and I automatically clicked. He is the first person since the break up that I can actually see myself with. There are several problems, however.
First of all, one of my closest friends like him. She told me she liked him. Then, she told me she didn't like him anymore. She got angry when we had a connection last week and he and I kissed. She told me I should have been "able to pick up" on the fact that she was "still interested in him." Well, I obviously didn't. The thing is, we both don't really know this guy that well and I was ready to drop him if she really liked this guy that freakin much.. . That is, until I found out that while I connecting with said guy, she reacted very vengefully and involved my ex-bf. What was so disconcerting was the fact that I wasn't there, and I had to hear about it from a mutual friend who doesn't know my history about my ex. She always liked my ex-boyfriend, even while we were dating. She would get angry and jealous all the time. I always gave her the benefit of the doubt though. Everyone can see that she likes him more than a "brother" (and have even told me -_-), even though she denies it. I honestly told her I don't have a problem with her liking my ex/dating him though (anymore at least lol). I mean, we're over and broken up. It hurts a little bit, but what right do I have to get angry? What makes them both happy.
Anyway, so a love triangle has been established between the new guy, my friend, and I. The new guy likes me, I like him, but my friend likes him. I don't want to ruin my friendship with her, but this has been a recurring pattern; every time we meet a guy, and he shows any interest in me, she gets very territorial over him. She basically brands him as "hers" and is "protective" over them.
He kept asking to meet up, but I basically implied I couldn't really see him and thought I owed him an explanation, but I didn't want to implicate my friend. He figured it out and told me it wasn't my fault.
I wish I could get to know him better, but I don't know. My friend and I patched things up hastily last night, and I've always believed in the mentality that NO guy is worth breaking a friendship over. But is this a friendship that I want to keep?
What do you guys think? :confused:
