Guy Problems

[Honeybee]

I need some advice. Ok, here is my problem. I met this one guy the same night that one of my friends met him. I thought that he was dateable the first time I met him, but I didn't say anything to my friend about it. However, she told me that she kind of liked him. But she also liked these 2 other guys. Now, she doesn't like one of them but she still likes 2...including the one I like. And, she likes Brian (the guy I also like)more than the other guy. Now here is the hard part of the story. I found out that Brian likes me, but I really don't want to hurt my friend. I always promised myself that a guy would never get in the way of a friendship. I didn't talk to her about it yet, but do you think it would be okay if I asked her if it was ok if I went out with him and if she had a problem with it, then I wouldn't go out with him. Or do you think I should forget about him completely? I wouldn't even consider dating him if she didn't like a new guy all the time, but I am just confused. Any advice???
