I can't really say whether I would go for the girl and leave my friend out to dry or forget the girl and stay with my best friend because it depends on the situation entirely. If I don't REALLY like the girl then I'd just forget the girl and stay with my friend. However, if I had very strong feelings for this girl (the forbidden "L" word

) then I'd have to say go for the girl. Also, if my friend and I were in serious competition for this girl then there'd definitely have to be some discussion going on. In the end though, I would let the girl choose. Not like my friend or I would have the final say anyways.
