Would you go out with that someone else or would you wait for your crush?

The short answer: don't do it. I don't know how hard you are crushing on your crush, but it's not fair to go out with someone if you're thinking about another man all night. I've been in kind of the same situation: I developed an incredibly strong attraction to one of my friends and then told her about it. She kind of felt the same way, but was dealing with too much other stuff to worry about relationships at the moment. Fueled by bitterness and a desire for revenge, I went on a date with another girl, hopefully to make my friend jealous. Unfortunately, my date with Girl #2 went really, really well, so well that we probably would have gotten together in the next week or two. What snapped me out of it though, was when I kissed her at the end of the night. Something that should have been perfect and magical just felt.wrong. The problem was, I wasn't thinking about this girl or this moment, I was kissing her and wishing it was my friend. A few days later, I had to call things off with Girl #2, hurting her deeply, because it wasn't fair for me to lead her on when I still wasn't over my friend.

The moral of the story? Go out with this guy if you think it will help you move on, or if you both understand that it is completely casual, but don't make him think you're interested if you're not. You'll only end up hurting him. I'm not going to tell you to wait forever for your crush, I'm a romantic but some things just never happen, and as soon as it looks like he's really not interested, move on. In the meantime though, don't play with other people's hearts. For all you know, this other guy has been crushing on you for two years and this date with him will be a dream come true. Don't do it unless you can have an open mind and a free heart.

Well, there comes a point when relationships consist of dating. You can date this guy you don't like to see if you might eventually come to like him, that is, after all, the reason and nature of dating. You don't have to commit to him anything, just go on a date, if you don't like it then end it.

As for your crush, maybe try and hang out with him, spend time with him, and or be casual with him. Try and "date" him too, to see if you and your "crush" are compatible.

Well, I know my response was kinda of simple, but I hope it was accurate and helpful. : /

I couldn't do it and I don't want to lead the other guy on either. When I'm crushing, I will try to see if he would return my feeling and if he doesn't then I know it is time to move on.

I wouldn't go out with someone I didn't like, so yeh I suppose I'd wait for him.

don't go out with that other guy, stick with your crush. I can relate, the exact same thing happened to me, only I kinda liked the guy. I got attached to the guy, but ended up breaking up with him anyway for drug use, but now I think going out with him may have left me looking less appealing to my crush. The guy that asked me out had a bad reputation and everyone thought he was gay, so it may be a little different, but why would you go out with a guy you don't like anyways? We're in the 21st century, women these days can afford to be romantic and play Cinderella, marriages are no longer arranged.

My advice would be to slip him hints or possibly say "do you want to kiss me?"
if he says no, say: "good, because I didn't say you could." and spin it off as a joke, something funny you saw on tv that was random and you thought would make him laugh
if he says yes, well then obviously proceed ^.~

or if you're not that brave, then maybe just see how he reacts to "accidental" contact
for example: if when you walk by him your arms "accidentally" brush

I agree don't do it, I am in the same situation and I CANNOT stop thinking about my crush and I don't want to see anyone but him. Just keep being patient. Have you told your crush you like him?
