So, I have this friend—let's call her Tari—whom I’ve been tight with since high school. A few months ago, she broke up with her boyfriend, Tadiwa. They had been dating for over three years, but it got bad towards the end. Lots of fighting, and sometimes they wouldn't talk for days. Throughout all that drama, Tadiwa would confide in me, telling me how things were going south. I was always there, offering advice, and funny enough, I kept telling him to hold on, to try and fix things with Tari, even though I low-key had a massive crush on him.
Now that they’ve broken up, Tari's moved on and is seeing someone new—an older guy her friend introduced her to. She seems to be focusing on this new relationship and has pretty much left Tadiwa in the past. The thing is, I’m single… and now, so is Tadiwa.
Tadiwa's smart, attractive, and genuinely a good guy. Part of me feels like this might be my chance to finally shoot my shot. But another part feels guilty because of my friendship with Tari. She hasn’t said much about her breakup with him, and I don't know how she'd feel if she found out I was considering him.
So Sliq, the question is: Is it okay for me to consider dating him now, or should I keep my distance? I'm torn between my feelings for him and my loyalty to my friend.
