Experience
Most of my experience I got from life and high school, alot of things go on without teachers knowing and you have to be able to sort them out yourself - so i've been through most of these problems that I'm answering questions on so I know how it feels, and can answer accordingly.

Organizations
I did yahoo answers and answered alot of questions on this subject and a vast majority of them were voted best.

Education/Credentials
I was given a few lessons at school with dealing with friendships, bullying and hard times so I can tell what is the best way to go about doing things with out being too pushy on the asker.

Question
Hi Livvy
I am wondering if you can help me my bestfriend and me both like the same guy i have liked him for ages and now she likes him to she told him that she loved him and didn't get the response she was hoping for and everyone thinks he kinda likes me which a think is good but i don't want to hurt my bestfriend i haven't even had the guts to tell her yet. I am finding it so hard because as much as i don't want to hurt her but i like him allot. And i don't no whether to tell her and how todo it or to leave it and not say anything to her.
If i should tell her how should i tell her ?
Thanks

Answer
Hey,

What I think is best at the moment is to stick by your friend. (So that you do not compromise your friendship - Friends are always more important than guys) Wait for him to make the first move. When he does you can tell your friend - this way it doesn't look like you've gone out of your way to get him. Just say to her: ('Jack' - Whatever his name is) has asked me out, I have liked him for a while but I didn't want to make an effort because you like him. I don't want to hurt your feelings so I want to know what you think I should do. I'm pretty sure she will tell you to go for it - she is your best friend after all.

You really need to be careful as to not hurt your best friends feelings. And I think this is the nicest way of doing it. BUT don't rely on exactly what your best friend tells you to do - she is there to give you her opinion but don't just do what she says. If you want him go for it! Just consider that you might not be able to have both the boyfriend and your best friend - which one could you live without?????

I hope that's helped! If you want to ask me anything else click on follow - up!
