Although I totally believe that guys are nobody's property, I have been in your friend's situation before. My best friend and I liked the same guy. He liked her and they started dating. I did not talk to her for at least 3 months and our friendship was definitely hurt by it. That was 4 years ago and now, believe it or not, we're better friends than we ever were before. But, that's only because I've had time to heal from what happened. You're in a tough spot right now. I think it's great that the guy you really like thinks the same way about you but you also have your friend who you don't want to hurt. No matter what, she will be hurt. I think you need to decide whether she's the type of person to forgive and forget or if she holds grudges. Would she be ok with it? Even if you talk to her about it and she says that she's ok, she might be lying to make you feel better. So, be careful. Also, if the roles were reversed, would you be mad if your friend started dating him? I wish you the best of luck; it's a difficult situation.
