I'm a 22-year-old, straight, attractive woman. About a month ago, after having been together for a year, my boyfriend and I opened up our relationship because I'm studying in Denmark this year, and he's back at school in New York, and we wanted to be able to have some fun and intimacy despite the distance. We followed your three rules of success (1. increased/better communication, 2. no asking or telling about what we get on the side, 3. either of us can close the relationship if we're uncomfortable), and things have never been better between us. So, for starters, thanks!Problem is, it's much more difficult to get any over here as opposed to back in the States. But a week ago I met this PHENOMENALLY handsome French guy through a friend, and he asked for my number. I've been talking to our mutual friend—a somewhat prudish but really sweet girl—about him for the past week, and it's come out that she's had a crush on him for a few months now. At first she said it was fine, that I could pursue him, but now she doesn't want me to. The thing is, she said she wouldn't pursue him herself because she's "just not that kind of girl." (Again, she's pretty prudish.)
So basically, we've got this hot horny guy, a hot horny girl, and a mutual friend who doesn't want to see us together. I really like this girl, and I care about her friendship, but I've only known her for a month, and I feel like she's being a bit immature about the whole thing. Also, this would probably not be a one time deal; my boyfriend and I have not excluded regular hook-ups or casual dating. And this guy would be, to put it bluntly, the crowning achievement of my sexual existence. What should I do?
