Dear Queenie,
My best friend recently broke up with her boyfriend and now he has asked me to go out with him. I have always liked him, but if I start dating him I’m afraid my friend will think it’s my fault he broke up with her.
Queenie, what do you think?—Undecided
Dear Undecided,
Wait a while before you go out with your friend’s ex-boyfriend. Let him date a few other girls before you agree to go out with him – that is, if he is still interested in you. If he is, at least your best friend will not blame you for their breakup. And if he is not, you will have spared yourself the disappointment of learning what a short attention span he has.
