So FAN advice, where do I go with this?

[Optimax]

Now I hate these threads generally, but in this case whatever....give us your advice FAN or just laugh at the weird ass situation I find myself in


I will raise you my current situation, female friend of mine (we work together too) is recently single and has been coming out with me and my friends (including a rather shy metal head that we both work with, who's basically my best friend). Female friend has dropped hints about me taking her out for actual dates and stuff while drunk (although while sober she wants me to instead take out her best friend).

I have no issue with us doing anything, provided its not just newly single drunk girl rubbish which I'm sure it is, but in saying that really shy metal head is head over heels in love with her and won't ever say anything because he "knows he's no chance". How's that for a weird ass triangle

Oh and the 3 of us are going to go on a tour of Europe together over our summer break (all teachers)

It's like a really bad high school movie plot :/


So which direction do I head? I'm currently going the if I don't say anything about it to either it won't blow up route

Why not go out with her best friend and hook your best friend up?

The last time we were all out I offered to help him as much as possible and he was adament that it won't work and he doesn't want me to try.

Best friend is a little difficult, and a slightly seperate issue on that one

Remember the Golden Rule, it's not gay if it's in a threeway, with a honey in the middle there's a little leeway.

Lay it out for him.

Either he sucks it up and asks her himself, or you tell him that you are taking a shot.

Hopefully it'll give him a shot in the arm, and you can pull the best friend or neither, as you see fit.

Or follow through if he bottles it and have her.

This is tough since the dude is your best friend, I'd ask myself is hooking up with this girl worth it if it negatively impacts my friendship? If you think he'll get jealous don't even attempt it.

From talking to him today, i think he'll be somewhat annoyed if anything happened.

Probably not to the point we wouldn't be mates, but he'd be peeved. I also couldn't convince him to have a shot......so I just may let it play out a little longer
