Im gonna keep this as short as possible. Lets call my friend John, and the girl i like Stacy.
I have a very close friend whom i love, John, were very close to one another even if we have never met in person. 2 weeks ago he intriduced me to Stacy. He said to me not to hit on her, i said ofcourse and asked why. Apperently he had asked her out and gotten rejected, and he still had feelings for her. Stacy and i started talking, and i never tried to hit on her but it was apparent we had something going on. And on top of that, she is the nicest and most good looking girl ive seen. Shes always there for me and im there for her, she is constantly telling me how much i mean to her and and that she loves me and stuff like that. She has quickly grown to be one of my closest friends with alongside John. And im torn, i love John, and i dont want to hurt him but at the same time i really love stacy, she always makes me happy everytime we talk. Would i be the asshole if i asker her out?

Sorry for my grammar.
