Maybe not the right place to ask but..

[PureBredGentleman]

I find myself in a sort of jam here. There is this girl whom I really like and I've been meaning to ask her out for sometime. Problem is though, my best friend has the same idea. Of late, I have had no fucking phone to contact her or anything, but my friend has. It's late, I'm tired and can't sleep because everytime I close my eyes I see the two together. Humor me for a moment fellow escapists, and help me.

Go for it.
May the best man win, as they say.

Could you drive or be driven to her place tomorow?

You'll end up in the friend zone.
All's fair in love and war. You kick his ass with your love gun.


Or something.

Forget about it. Time is an important factor; if you don't strike when the metal is hot, you've lost your chance.

Goddamnit man, that's the thing, I have no way to contact her, and she recently broke up with a previous boyfriend. And guess who is there to comfort her? Not me that's for damn sure.

Actually, we now have a thread made just for these kinds of dilemmas. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.117161?page=1]

May I ask you an intimate question? Who's a bigger pussy, you or your friend?

Define "Pussy"

What sorta jam? Strawberry? Ba dum tish.

I believe 'broes before hoes' is that awful saying men have. Decide which is more important - your friendship or this girl.
Don't mean to sound pessimistic, but there is a chance she won't like either of you, you didn't mention how she is with you and your friend.

Nice Bones reference, but I'm female. And more than that, comforting = best way to get into friends zone. That is a very slippery slope with a VERY small window of opportunity.

Yeah I sort of figured that with your avatar. I'm just so tired.

But since you do see this from the opposite perspective as me, let me give you a little rundown about how much she knows me and my friend.

Me: I'm sort of the joker, the type who cheers a girl up by making her laugh, I've worked with her a lot in my drama class, but when we hang out, it's never alone or anything (too many times have girls gotten a creepy vibe from that) my friends and hers always come as well,.

Friend: A bit of a joker as well, but has a working cell phone. The obvious advantage here is that he was the first to comfort her when she broke up (albeit by text)

So I was wondering since I couldn't contact her today to comfort her, If I would call her up tomorrow to check up on how she's doing, would that be of any help?

Yeah. Or something.

OT, I think that since you can't contact the girl, you should contact your friend and talk to him about it. Tell him you like her and you know that he does to, and discuss how important your friendship is and whether or not you're really gonna fight over a girl.

And next time you see the girl you should confess that the two of you like her and let her know that it's her choice and you're not gonna be immature and fight about it.

Hey, I'm a chick, I give chick answers. Sorry it's all discussion and no punches in my version.

EDIT: just saw your last post clarifying. Yes you should call her tomorrow. Yes. Do it. Be comforting. Be honest. Chicks dig it.

I've been in your position twice now, with the same friend, and both times we've decided our friendship is worth more than a girl, no matter how nice they are.

Forget about it. Time is an important factor; if you don't strike when the metal is hot, you've lost your chance.

I do hope your not implying we attack her with a burning sword....

I jest.

 

[Nycto]

all to often have i been in the same situation and let it slip through my fingers, i say as soon as you even get one word to her, tell her everything, just go for it...

To be honest I was really hoping a chick would reply, it's really more informative than "Compare willies" which is just retarded. My friend knows I like her because we practically fell for her at the same time during a day at a theme park where we ran into her and her friends. About the whole "confession" thing, I don't do that stuff because A. I don't want her to feel weird. And B. For me, confessions always get me weird looks and then the person never talks to me again. I am nuts about this girl, I don't want that to happen.
