KonKlink Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 So here's the deal, I'm an 18 year old high school student and about 4 or 5 months ago i was crazy about this girl that I'm in high school with (we'll call her Sally). Sally and i became very good friends, but nothing ever developed beyond the friendship (much to my dismay) Sally's reasoning for this was that even though we both cared very much for each other she couldn't commit to a relationship because we did not share the same religious beliefs (she is a devote christian, and i am agnostic) It took me a good hard month to truly move on past my feelings and accept that a good friendship was the best that i could hope for with the two of us. Some months later i started to get close with one of Sally's friends (not a close friend, but they run in the same circles) This friend (we'll call her Donna) and i both like spending time together and both would like to take our relationship to the next level. I decided the best thing i could do in the situation was to discuss with Sally (my previous love interest) about this new developing relationship with her friend Donna. Sally was at first quite upset and felt like i had betrayed her, even though a month previous we had talked about both of us working hard to move on, stay good friends, and look into other people. After a few weeks (and many more discussions) i managed to convince Sally that she would remain my friend regardless of my relationship with Donna. Unfortunately even though Sally is now ready to except this new relationship with me, Donna is afraid that if she were to date me that she would still violate her friends trust, and be shunned by the rest the friends she hangs out with. My question is what i should do now? Do i simply allow this failed relationship between myself and Donna slip away? Or is there something else that i should be doing? any/all advice would be great.
