| Help!!!! My Best Friend's Son Just Asked Me Out
Posted: 5/21/2007 1:48:45 PM | Ew, ew and EWWWW. The immediate response should be 'NO.' what in the world are you thinking? Its not the age, necessarily, its the repercussions with intermingling your love life with your friends life. Its a recipe for disaster, in my humble opinion. It might work for some, but not for others.
Id say No, thank you.
p.s. then I went back and read #67 where you back tracked, reworded yourself, then proceeded to call people out by name and kick butt. Whats up with that?
P.s.s I then went back and read your original question. You asked 'what would you do', not 'how do I tell my friend no without hurting their feelings'. I think you changed your mind/question after you found out most people thought it might not be the thing to do.
Double your medication, maybe. You may be sending out mixed messages? | |

Posted: 5/21/2007 2:06:02 PM | | Funny, a similar thing happened to me a couple of years ago with a friends 23 year old daughter and noone seemed to think that was an issue. In fact, we are still friends even after I dated her daughter for 6 months. | |

If your best friend suggested it, she either thinks you 2 are a good match or that he is so immature that you will see the reason she wants you to date men closer to your age. Either way do what you want. You are going to do what you want anyway. | |

I have a best friend sometimes we are so buisy that we don't see each other for a long period.
Explain to her how you feel and because you are best friends she should know you good enough to understand how you feel.
Take it easy and good luck! | |

Posted: 5/31/2007 8:21:04 AM | Hmmm...my best friend, her son....
Based on the conversations my friend and I have about our experiences I can't see it. I would actually wonder about my best friend if she was supportive of the idea. This has to be a fantasy situation...and a bit twisted at that! | |

Posted: 5/31/2007 9:03:53 AM | Go for it, ... you wont upset your friend, this is good, give it a shot, if you dont chances are your friend will be effected by you shooting her son down, his confidence will be crushed, and the whole triangular relationship could be altered. I would suggest first you talk with your friend and advise her of the chances of you actually dating her son ( if you are even attracted to younger men, etc) oh and give her shit for not lettin you in on this b4 this point. lol.... then agree to a coffee date with no promisses... just a lets hang out date...... who knows you may actually like him, and if your still not into it, you `can atleast boast his ego, give him some advise and carry on as his crush, and friend.... at least this way you hurt know one and actualy increase you bond with your best friend and gain a new one..........
WeLL Mrs ROBINSON......................YOU GO GIRL | |

Posted: 5/31/2007 1:32:04 PM | Oh I've been there! :-D
Just a couple of years ago, my best friend's 22 y/o son was dropping by my apartment a-lot! I am in my 40's. I couldn't even believe it, but I don't think he was coming around so much because I make great brownies LOL. He'd compliment me a lot, and share his intimate feelings about things... I even let him crash on my couch for a few days. There was an attraction there for sure! But I just couldn't cross that line. I mean Geeeeeezzz! I'm old enough to be his Mama! And I'm definately not gonna get involved with a guy that is better siuted for my 20 y/o daughter... I would date guys with up to 10 years difference in either direction. Anything beyond that gets parental. I had a S O that was 9 years younger than I, That lasted about two years. It was fun for a while, but not really a good match. His mama didn't like it much either. It was like Peter Pan meets Mrs. Robinson! LOL
Oh, Just say no!  | |
