Would it be ethical to date someone to make someone else jealous as long as you make sure your date has fun and you give them a chance?

There's this girl I've been close to for years but won't date me, though she tends to cause issues when I date other girls... there's this really cute girl at a Waffle House a group of my friends meet up at about once a week...

Would it be wrong for me to dare Waffle House girl to make my friend jealous if I make sure she has a good time and keep an open mind about her?

How are you giving them a chance? Do you mean there's a possibility you might drop the person you're trying to make jealous and choose her instead?

Let's be honest. This probably happens more often the people will admit to. Is it OK? I'm not sure I'm qualified to answer. Because I don't believe that anyone ever really loves anyone. I think everything is all about better situations. I think a person will call whatever it is "love" until they see/get a better offer. And this goes for BOTH genders, regardless of what they tell you.

Only if you tell her in advance that it's why you're doing it

But what if it turns out we actually enjoy each other... I mean, I'm not talking about even anything as serious as becoming a couple, just going on dates and having fun

I don't want anyone to feel less than... nobody is less than, and if they're someone i genuinely click with and we got serious I don't want them to think they were someone i settled for
