SHOULD I ACCEPT HIM?
You asked…
“My best friend and I have known each other since childhood. We are still as close as when we were younger. Recently, she broke up with her boyfriend because of financial issues. Six months later, he asked me out on a date, thinking it was a reconciliatory move, I went with him. He, however wanted a relationship with me and since then I couldn’t take him out of my mind. But, I think he is a very nice person and I like him. Should I accept him?”

We Said…
Debby, you have to know that in this case, you could only have one relationship. It’s either you keep your childhood friend or lose her when you accept the proposal of her former boyfriend. She would not like that and if you don’t want to hurt her feelings, don’t date him. But, if you don’t cherish your friendship, you can go ahead and date him. Really, who dates two friends?
