So I normally don't post about this type of stuff but it's been a big part of my life lately so Im gonna get some opinions from randoms.
Basically a friend of mine dated this girl almost 4 years ago for a few months and now me and her have been hangin out alot. I havent hit it yet, but we got just about as close as one can get, she just got out of a long relationship with somebody else so she says shes not ready just yet... A few weeks ago it was a different friends b-day and a big group of us went out to the strip club and when he saw me and her sitting together and dancing (to the music in vip not on the pole) he got really fkn mad and started texting her all kinds of crazy shit like he still loves her and some disrespectful shit to me after we left, but then kinda apologized the next day when everyone told him what a drunk asshole he was being. She told me there is no chance of them getting back together though.
Anyways him and one of our other friends dont ever do shit they just sit on his back porch and play poker/watch tv/smoke weed/eat bars every night and hate/talk shit on people because they hate their lives so you can imagine Im on the top of that list these days. Im gonna see him tomorrow at softball and plan on talking to him about it in person just to clear the air and some of the tension. Ive heard through mutual friends that he thinks hes being disrespected and that Im being sneaky, but thats not true since he has known about the last few times we have gone out together since we all know so many people in the area and have alot of the same friends and Im not doing anything to hide that, eventhough me and her arent official or anything I think it will just be good to get a talk in for his sake.
Most of the people I have asked say that I havent done anything wrong and that its none of his business, hes just jealous etc etc so what do you guys think about the situation? Am I scumbag or is he just a hater? Anybody ever been in a similar spot and what should I say to him tomorrow? Im thinking Im just gonna say look you know we have been talking/seeing eachother and I didnt expect it to happen nor did I go looking for it, it just kinda happened and it's nothing personal against you, but nigga Im doin meee.
also no way Im posting pics of her outta respect so dont even bother... -
I mean if the kid is like in your top 2 best friends it would be cool to give him a heads up prior but....
A few months four years ago? Tell him to fuck off. -
he dated her 4 years ago and only for a few months?
tell him to go douche his vag. -
IF he dated her for years or something i could see him getting mad....... but a couple months ?
The guy is a hater and a dbag. I would just stop being his friend and go from there.
If you really do value the freindship though then maybe think twice, because its clear he still has feelings and things wont be the same between you. -
yep 4 years ago maybe 8 months tops they dated, he was a top 10 friend I suppose but seriously he needs to move the fuck on. Glad to hear you guys are agreeing with me. So any ideas on what to say to him Im trying to have a game plan here cuz im not looking forward to the awkwardness too much.
-
You're right it's just that it's only been a few weeks and I didnt want to jump the gun when we arent official and also the way he reacted after the strip club kinda detered me from having a convo with him. I mean the night of the strip club I hadnt even kissed her yet and we were just sitting together and dancing for a few mins so imagine...

Tell him

"Look bro, I don't want things to be weird between us, but you need to accept the fact that im gonna be dating her ..... you were with her 4 years ago and she says there is no chance you guys will ever get back together. I didn't think it would be an issue because I assumed you had moved on a long time ago. It is what it is....and its up to you whether we are going to have problems, so are we cool or what ? And then if he says Yes smoke a blunt and chill, and if he says NO then punch him in the face. -
You say you aren't doing anything sneaky yet you haven't talked to him about it or give him a heads up...I think he has a slight right to be pissed since you haven't spoken with him about it yet and are kinda sneaky about the situation...but after you give him a heads up or whatnot, no way he should feel slighted in the least...it was years ago and he is obv a douche but you gotta make things right and then move on...

fwiw, my best friend (at the time) dated my ex prob 6 weeks after we broke up...I haven't hung out with him since...if he is truly your friend, you know the boundaries but it doesn't really sound like he is your friend imo... -
Not at all actually it would almost be easier for me if we just fought and got it outta the way like that lol I really dont care that much Im just annoyed with all the drama he's causing. I used to care what people thought but Im finally fealizing to say fk em.
He actually is now that you mention it he dropped out in like 8th grade and did a 3 year stint for getn caught selling beans, you should see his spelling in his text messages it's really sad. -
Sounds like he's being a vagina about it but you should've told him about it right away if you really do consider him a friend. He should be cool with it once you talk to him but if he's not I wouldn't worry too much about it since he's not one of your best friends.

Yeah I think it was close to 8 months, but really not much else to the story.

The thing is he already knows all there is to know it just hasnt come from my mouth so I dont really know what else he wants to hear and like I said I wouldve be alot more likely to talk to him if he didnt act the way he did the first night and talk shit to me via text.Originally Posted by watson5j

not trying to just defend myself because I know its a tricky situation but then again he feels like he owns her because they were together years ago, I mean she even had a 2 year relationship with someone else in between. -
this is what I was trying to say...obv they aren't really friends...more like acquaintances or a friend of friends...
-
I would never date one of my best friends' exes (especially if she broke up with him). Its probably not going to work out with this girl anyway, so why risk losing one of your best friends over her?
-
Nah I gotta be real we are more than acquaintances, I understand that it owuld suck to be in his shoes but then again its been 4 years ffs... we'll see how it goes tomorrow I suppose, not that im gonna stop seeing her tho...
-
You have done anything wrong at all, I don't feel.
-
Just talk it out, then decide if she is worth losing the friendship if he is butthurt about it.. Even if you are right and he is wrong, if he is going to be a dick about it, you will have to choose.. Sounds like since you are just acquainances, he shouldn't care if you are dating her anyway, but if he just sits around tripping out and hasn't moved on with his life, I can see why he might be hurt, but its not your problem he hasn't moved on if you want to date her..
-
lol He's gonna kick your ass!

Especially when they talk like Yoda.
