Everyone ready for another chapter in the saga known as my loneliness? Of course you are. Well other than on of my friends calling me dependant on guys, though I've been single for a year and a half and dealing with all my shit on my own, I do have a boy problem, quite shocking, I know.

So for about a year my best friend had been telling me about one of her friends and how similar we are and that we'd be absolutely perfect. The issue has always been that he's had a girlfriend and she wasn't cool with her two best friends getting together. As of Sunday, she was totally fine with the idea. He texted her saying he was depressed and wot not, and she literally ignored him after a while, maybe 6 texts back and forth. I ended up just taking her phone and texting him, until I said something that didn't sound like her, playing it off and making him think it was her as the go between, and then he said he felt bad he was talking to me through her, and I confessed that she was busy and it was me. No issues, he says I can text him from my phone, and I do. We talk from like 3 to 9, only stopping for him to drive, great, right? He had to get the last word, and his second to last text was, "Ight i have loved talking to you today i really have... but i gotta sleep cuz i gotta game tomorrow so peace... Feel better" The feel better was in regards to me opening up about how no one noticed my self harm or serious body image issues and what the cause. I couldn't tell if he meant that just to be nice, but if you bother to text me for that long wouldn't you genuinely enjoy it?

The issue still is this pesky girlfriend of his. Everyone hates her, and they have had a lot of issues with communication, so I know I should do this, but I mean if he's in a relationship and still this depressed is it really a relationship worth being in? I haven't texted him since, and I'm not sure when I should. Please don't give me the "don't be a homewrecker" speech, that isn't my intention at the moment, I just want to be friends because I'm going to need a prom date in a couple months and I want it to be someone I can actually talk to and is tall. So would it be okay to text him?

if the man is in a relationship then no you shouldn't. you don't want to be called a home wrecker, but it sounds like you do not have a problem driving a wedge in there because you deem the relationship is not good or whatever.
no, no, no no. unless you don't care about contributing to a relationship ending, or even want to. then go for it
