Should I risk going in for the rebound?

Question

I met this girl living in my area via a website, and we grew to be really good friends. I wound up with a crush on her (ooops), which goes back several months, but I decided not to say anything because of her views on going out at our age (We're 16. She thinks it's pointless), and because I wanted to leave it until after the exam season.

On the day I decided to say something, my other friend asked her out first. She said yes, and I was gutted (but tried to at least pretend I was happy for them). I still can't get over her and how I missed my chance. What do I do?

Answer 1

Try to become honestly happy for them and look for someone else instead.

Answer 2

You should use this as a learning experience.

Answer 3

if they're doing well (and, as friend, you should hope they are, thanks) then find another. if they are not doing well (and, as hopeful, you're probably hoping they are not) then stay friends with both and get the rebound..... but respect what they have just as you would want them to respect what you have if you had it.

Answer 4

yeah, go for it.

Answer 5

Go for it! Just make sure you don't sweep in to quickly after the break up! Give her time to breath! Also you might want to check with your other friend first, just to be sure she's ok with you going out with her ex!

Good Luck!
