Search Results: winning over a guy

I met this guy. Let's say his name is Ryan. We talked for a little while and we planned to hang out. He was going to bring one of his friends so I brought my friend (let's say her name is Sarah). He showed a connection with me and but then confessed he might like Sarah. Problem was I really liked him and I told her that. But she said "well I'm winning in this chase so" and talked to him more. They started dating and I actually ended up dating his friend, who turned out to be a total douche so we broke up. Sarah is a controlling, rude girlfriend and tried to tell me I couldn't be friends with Ryan anymore and to stop even looking at him but I wasn't about to end a relationship with anyone for anyone. He started to realize what a shitty girlfriend she is and eventually they broke up. She had on and off continually bitched me out telling me how horrible of a friend I was and I was honestly over our friendship despite the 4 years of friendship. She claimed she loved her other ex, and Ryan has been struggling since he break up. I was there for him and always have been even during their relationship. And he recently confessed that he originally liked me, and that he regrets meeting Sarah because he would've been so much better off. He tells me how important I am to him because he realizes that I've been there for him, and would do anything for him... Sarah recently made a Facebook status saying what a fake ass bitch I am and tons of other things. I really care for him and I want to finally make myself happy and not everyone else for once and I feel like he will... but I don't want everyone to hate me and think I'm a slut because she's the type of person who tells everyone how bad of a person you are and makes herself out to be the victim. She already hates me and at this point I'm not sure I care. I really want to try it with him... but I'm questioning whether it's worth it or not.
