text: what should i do? i went out with my best guy friend for a while and then broke it off because i realized i missed our friendship more than i liked being his girlfriend.. u know.. now this guy asked me out but i don't wanna make my friend mad.. what should i do?? if you're concerned about that, doesn't sound like things are quite over yet with your best guy friend.  as far as he's concerned.  you can keep things on the downlow, in reality, this new guy just asked you on a date...not like you're headed into another relationship.  or you can be upfront, but prepared for a little drama (since it sounds like you ended things pretty recently).  if things are over, things are over, but i do understand that you need to approach things with a little sensitivity.  i'd be upfront (assuming there is closure to the relationship, if not, close it).  if he's still reeling from your break up, you may need to duck out of his life for a little while (sucks, but it may be for the better).
