text: Let's look at it closely:\n\n1. Sloppy seconds... eww.\n\n2. If he's willing to leave his girlfriend (your best friend) for you... don't be too sure he won't leave you for someone else.\n\n3. You're best best best friends with this one chick, right? Well, I'm pretty sure you won't be best best best friends with her after her boyfriend dumps her and starts dating you.\n\n4. Guys come and go ALL the time. Friends last forever. I'm pretty sure you know that. If not, well... read #4 again... about 5 times.\n\nTry this: Tell the guy... "Wait for a little... I have to think abou it." Then, go and tell your best best best friend, "[name of friend], I need your help, but you might not believe what I'm about to tell you. I totally love you and respect you and everything; I'd never want to be enemies with you. But your boyfriend wants to break up with you... and on top of that... go out with me. If he's gonna be such an a.s.s.hole to do that, I think you should know about it. I won't go out with someone as stupid as him if he wants to do that. But we need a plan. We need to shift the balance and make him look stupid. What should we do?"\n\nHopefully she takes you seriously. Improvise, ma'am. Improvise.
