My good guy friend asked me hypothetically if I would date him if I wasn’t with my current boyfriend, how do I respond?

I probably would but is that bad to say if I’m in a relationship currently?

Yes it would be bad idea. Specially if your boyfriend finds out.

Tell him something along the lines that it would be too painful to think you aren't with your boyfriend. You like how things are. And you are sure he will find some good girl one day who will treat him better.

Thanks for the MHO.

Well I mean... would you?

We used to have a thing last year but I broke it off because he used to date my best friend and I felt bad. I probably would catch feelings because he’s my closest guy friend and he’s so easy to get along with and I enjoy talking to him. But I feel bad for even thinking these things because I have a boyfriend who I love. This guy and my best friend also hate each other

To be honest girl, if he was really your good guy friend, he shouldn't have asked you that question in the first place. But it also sounds like you might still have lingering feelings for him...

I feel like he’s catching feelings for me... after him and my friend had a fight we didn’t talk for months until about 3 months ago. He’s been saying how he’s ugly and no one will ever date him and I feel like he’s just saying that so I compliment him. My friend thought I had feelings still for him too. But I know I can’t date him because he hangs out with the wrong crowd. My parents wouldn’t approve of him and I can’t hurt my best friend like that. And also the fact that I have a boyfriend

[yeoma]

Yeah, it wouldn't seem right to do that if it's going to end up hurting you and the ones you care for...
