When we met, i asked her out, after dilly-dallying for about 2weeks, she told me she wasnt ready for any relationship, but would like for us to be friends, we became friends and remained that way. about 8months later again, i asked her if she's given any thoughts to having any affairs, to which she said she "thinks we've known each other too much to date", that we should just remain friends and both of us can go have our love affairs elsewhere. she's my best friend, and im hers, we tell each other things we dont tell anyone else about ourselves and very supportive of each other. now we've been friends for over 2years, i met another nice lady and asked her out and she agreed, i waited 2months just to be sure it's concrete, then i told my friend about the lady and she gave me the shocker. she said she'd known about the lady for a while, but didnt say anything "BECAUSE I DONT HAVE HER BLESSING TO DATE THAT LADY OR ANY OTHER LADY AT ALL".. I thought to myself it really doesnt matter what she thinks, she'd blown her own chances, then again im so used to her and i dont wanna lose her friendship cos im so comfortable around her. The most annoying part right now is that the lady im actually dating is starting to act up, she's complaining that she's suspecting im actually dating the lady i call my friend..she has no idea im fighting one of the biggest battle of my life for her.. I dont want to lose my friend, and i cant date her anymore even if she says yes now, and this girlfriend of mine is tripping, someone help before my brain bursts.
