1 should back off until or IF 2 and 3 ever break up. No mans land there.

I agree with fd, no man should cut another mans lunch. It's just not cricket.
So he should just back off and find a single girl of his own. If they break up however, she is fair game.

you have an interesting life sw

i agree to the 3 posters before me. FD, mustie, and ff.

you do have an interesting life.

as for 1,2, and 3, well, i guess i was in the position of 1 too, for... *counts fingers* 6-ish years? patience. 2 lived her life, 1 lived his (me), till now, when they(1 & 2) are happily together

it'd do best for 1 to wait, wait, and wait. if he really likes her and is willing to give up the time for her, i think he may get his chance (that sounds like such a cheap word for this).

so conclusion: 1 should NOT make a move. all 1 should do is keep in touch with 2. dont lose the 'friendship' relationship. if he can keep it going, perhaps, it might grow into more. patience.

I'm with Taw and MS; have the two males fight each other with medieval weapons surrounded by seated Vulcans with some TOS-style battle music playing.

sw - I'm, just curious, but why doesn't "1" sort it out for himself? Why does everyone go to you for relationship advice? Are you secretely undertaking counsellor's training or something?

It's all there in her name Esqy. She's sycho_warrior, battler of emotional devils, conqueror of anxiety riddles, vanquisher of personality dysfunctions!

yeah, if she spelt it correctly, i dont think anyones told her about the missing "P"

now now you're just taking the "p" or maybe someone already did?

its the Afrikaan's spelling, like "oi u blek, klin it de svimming pul" which means "would you mind sanitising my swimming pool, you gentleman of native origin now granted full constitutional rights"

Is it me, or is Taw beginning to sound like the old Wolfy.

it's possible that I've contracted the Wolfy virus in a mutated form. However you will note that I haven't yet degenerated into complete incomprehensibility. perhaps i should then Spectreman will return.

heres a solution... tell 1 that there are plenty of other fish swimming ashore, just don't make a move, even if the relation ends up into senseless bickering between the 2 and 3, one wise word, Never go digging into a relationship, especially not when it has just ended, hes better off clearing the way, and wooing another lady/man/whatever his preference, because there is a lot of hurt involved if 2 and 3 ever split up. Hurt that will fade over the YEARS.

if none of this is effective (clever observation there Granddad!!) a 20 paces with two flintlocks involving 1 and 3 will always settle the matter.

lol
I dont know 2 or 3, I only know 1
And its not me having an interesting life, its the people around me
And no i'm not secretly studying for counsellor, or whatever, I'm just glad to help my friends
@Arcon, we've been thru this before, spelling the sycho in my name with a p would be spelling it wrong, it would be taking away its character
@Indy, you're a bit off with your obeservation of my name
@Taw you're way wrong its not near afrikaans

@sw.... Only just a bit off? Wow, I didn't even think I'd come close

tha battler part is right, the rest, never thought bout it
