OK, a mate of mine has an old friend visiting from Germany. They used to be gf/bf many years ago, but have just stayed as mates for many years. Since she has been over here on holiday, they have re-kindled their old relationship and are now 'intimate' once more.
Having been out socially with them a few times now, the young lady in question and I have hit it off very, very well. The problem...and here is the dilemma...is that she has made it quite clear that she would not be averse to taking our relationship a little further. Now I have no objection to that as she is great fun, bright and an absolute babe...but I do not want to affect the friendship with my mate. We are good buddies and I realise that, when she goes home in a couple of weeks, he and I will still be here and I don't want to have the whole thing creating problems. At some point in the future we may rely on each other in a life or death situation...
To do...or not to do, that is the question!
Help folks!
I feel like I am between Scylla and Charybdis (for the uneducated amongst you, that means a rock and a hard place!)
Sensible, objective advice only please!
