Hello. I'm going to apologise in advance as I hate these questions as much as the next guy, but I'm in a classic situation. I'm going to cut it down to the finer details to spare you, but I've kind of started seeing a girl who dated a good friend of mine. They were only together for literally two weeks, but he's one of those stubborn guys, you know the type.... Basically, how the fuck do I tell him? You all know the deal here, I've pretty much decided that telling is the only option, its what gentleman do. Anyone been there? I'm thinking of arranging a pub trip, the two of us and just laying the cards down. Seems reasonable right? |
Awkward situation...

Do this. And if he kills you he's obviously not a very good friend.

It shouldn't be any sort of issue at all. If he's a proper man, full of manly manliness that is. -
Play it casual, then he'll seem like a cock if he over-reacts, and you can get up on a high horse in the moral high-ground in the courtyard of the ivory tower.
or FHUTA, your choice. -
Invite him for a three some. -

Registered 12 years agoWait 'til you have loads to say to this guy, then phone him up and drop the bomb mid-conversation but change the subject quickly - if he becomes a prick about it then then pretend you're going through a tunnel or on hands free kit and hang up.
Hey, at least you won't get strangled over the phone -

I think your right, play it by ear. -
Kick him in the ball until he's sick.
Now to actually read the OP and see what the problem actually was. -

That's pretty damn prominent if it can be used for Arctic exploration.

Ha, maybe in part. But I think it was a combination of a few other things. -

I think I added the courtyard bit, plus it's a homage not a plagiarism -

Why do you have to tell him? My logic is that if it's going to be a case of you guys all hanging out quite often and therefore it not being something you can keep secret, the better question is are you ok hanging around with somebody who's had a fling with your girlfriend?
Maybe I'm emotionally immature, but I doubt I could date someone if one of my friends had a fling with them. At least not if I planned to keep in contact with them both. I'd either ditch the friend or just not bother with the girl, considering most of my friends are womanizers my general rule of thumb was any girl dumb enough to fall for them wasn't someone I wanted to ever get involved with anyway.

That's not dating that's just boning. How may times did he see her in 14 days?
Tell him to stfu and accept the fact you will be sharing the sensation of penetrating the same birth canal.
That's not worth a trip to the pub, a text maybe. personally I would email him a photo mid coitus with a photo-shopped speech bubble saying "wish you were here". -

One of my mates went out with a girl i lived with for 3 years, I was OK with it, sort of. Went to stay at their flat a couple of times, it was weird seeing her stuff around the flat, as it had been "our stuff". Still laughed like a drain when they split up though
