😂 Best Friend vs Potential Boyfriend 😂
You have to weigh the advice of the man friend.
How long have you known the man friend? Does the man friend KNOW this potential boyfriend/date? That carries heavy believability.
If your friend has knowledge of this person, knows someone who dated this man, or knows friends of this man, take your friend's word that this guy appears to be a hit and runner.
On the OTHER hand, how long have you known the potential boyfriend? Do you know, and have you met his friends and family?
If this man is simply someone you've recently met and you don't have a track record with him, you should be very cautious. This is especially true if he is an online meetup.
There are many men who use online "dates" for sex. They "pay" by taking women on dinner dates and charming them into bed. Locally, and this is a cautionary tale, a repeat sex offender did the same using old modeling photos, and sexually assaulted a woman for which he's being arraigned. He's raped a woman and a juvenile using these tactics.
This is NOT to frighten you. But to CAUTION you. If you DO NOT KNOW SOMEONE, be very careful.
My experience before Covid was, I talked to a guy for about a week and a half, and it took that long for me to say, "I don't want to get (sexually) involved with someone until more than a month of knowing and dating them." POOF! He was gone.
And is knowing someone a mere four weeks, and perhaps dating them six or eight times in that period or a bit longer too much to ask? Absolutely not.
THe bottom line is TAKE YOUR TIME. You are not on death's door. You HAVE the time to TAKE YOUR TIME! This pays off in the long run.
Your man friend more than likely knows my aforementioned facts and cares about you having a POSITIVE OUTCOME in the very muddy dating scene... GOOD LUCK!! And KISSES!!!

If my friend knew the other guy well, I'd probably listen and take the advice into consideration.
If he didn't know the other guy that well, I just know me and honestly that would probably make me think that he was jealous in a way. It would make me probably go for the guy faster lol.

I only did this a few times... and only because I knew for sure sure about some of these guys
I didn't tell them what to do, no... I just told them what I sure knew about certain guys but everyone else knew about it too, lol... so it wasn't a secret
there was a couple of times too, in which I definitely said NO... definitely don't mess with this one guy, but he had a criminal record at both sides of the border...
He's peanut butter and jealous! Those guys just wait till you slip up and then they open their big fat mouths saying "I told you I had a bad feeling about him". And a week later she's back at your place.

This is another way for the dorks to cock-block him. It’s the only way for him to compete.
While it maybe true that the hot guy, the desired guy may just want to F-K. It’s just better to experience it on your own. F-K him, just don’t tell the entire universe you did it. Make him shut his mouth too..
You need to experience certain things in life on your own. All by yourself, and get hurt all by yourself. The dork isn’t your parents. He’s also not your boyfriend.
And the guy you like. You never know if he might change for you. Chances are slim of him staying with you. But you never know.
I would take a warning into consideration but there is nothing better than my own experience, so I would try to know the guy in question better and then make a decision.
I would take into account what my guy friend said and watch the guy he’s trying to warn me about to see. However, most of my guy friends are gay/in a happy and healthy relationship/both, so my experience with guy friends is a bit different then some.
Depends. My male best friend I've known since age 2. And he likes masculine people.. tend to go for men. So I'm conplete opposite of what he likes. And if he explains why then I'd listen to him. So I dont have any male friends that would like me but if I did then no..
I don’t really trust people anyway. So I would stay away regardless. But, let’s say my best friend knows something I don’t, I would appreciate it if they would tell me.
Best friends are there to protect you. Even if your best friend is a guy, they know how men work. Same with women. They know how women work.No, this would make me fall straight into the bad guy's arms 🤣🤣🤣
If he’s my best friend, I would trust his advice and take it into consideration, but in the end I would make the decision myself. I don’t believe he would deliberately mislead me if he’s my best friend, but he might be wrong.
if i was single, i would want to keep that dude out of my love life. he is a friend and needs to stay in his lane. i don't like people telling me what to do. sure, share your opinions. but other than that, knock it off
For me, I'd ask why and I may be weary and keep a sharp eye out, but I may still date the guy. I'd look closer for any red flags and may (will) test him, but this is just me.
No. I'm the one who knows what's best for me. Not my friends nor my family.

i would probably be very attracted to that guy 🤷♀️
I would take my friends advice and stay away!
No. Most women would just get mad at you. Possibly end the friendship. But being a TRUE friend means telling her the truth. And how she takes it is how she takes it. Women much of the time HAVE TO learn things the hard way.
Always amusing when the friendzoned dude the girl would never touch tries to dish out dating advice! lol! You have to laugh in order to keep from crying it's so tragic!
Her having a "guy best friend" is reason enough to stay away from her.
My friend does this to me. I tell her I like a guy and she talks bad about him. I know she does this out of jealousy though.
I think a girl would do that if she really trusted the friends opinion.
If it was a good friend, certainly.
