Then It really comes down to how good of friends you are.

Don't just straight.up say it though, wait until she's questioning him, or find a way to get her to ask your opinion if you must.

She'll either listen or she won't, there's not many more options.

A year and 2 months we've been friends, I really don't like beating around the bush tho.

And its safe to assume you're close friends, yes?
Beating around the bush sucks, but often unless it is a person's idea to receive advice, they perceive it as criticism, and that's probably not quite what you're going for.

This is all IMO, realistically it comes down to how you want to tell her.
Expectations in life are only useless without passion. Be passionate about yourself, and love yourself.

Yea were close, you could say, I just don't wanna see her get hurt again when she already has trust issues.

I fully support the idea of telling her, I agree that it's worth at least a shot at stopping her ending up worse off. Just remember what Cindy said about it being a bit weird for guys to say those sorts of things, and think carefully about what you'll say to her.

UPDATE: she didn't get mad at me she actually said I was being a good friend by telling her.

Brandon, you should also be aware that if this girl is back together with this guy and she's really into him, she probably won't thank you for being the bearer of bad news -- she could be pretty mad at you. (I know it makes no sense, but people are like that.)

You might just want to let her know you're there for her if she needs a friend, and leave it at that.


She responded fine man.

Watch your replies Brandon.

You asked a question.

Others answer with what they feel.

Take there responses and keep the "I really don't care man" comments to your self.

You must care being you asked a question.

Calm down and think a few seconds before you post

Thank you for your cooperation.


I said I didn't care about her being mad at me thats what I meant.

Not the way it came across. When you add a quote to a topic it is the reference that the reader uses.

You do have 24 hrs after a post to edit it. I know you can be polite and a gentleman.

Write, Look, Read then post. Edit when need.

Thanks.
