Anonomous,

Well...I'm slightly confused...you said you don't like him 'that way'....then why would you go out with him? If you're just fooling yourself and would like to go out with him, then I'd say to talk to your friend about it. Depending on how much you value your friendship with her, and how much she'll be upset by it if you do. Personally, I wouldn't even entertain the thought of it. Friends are quirky cause they'll sometimes tell you want you want to hear even if it hurts them....and you'll never know it until later down the road when you have a real argument. Good luck and be sure to let me know what happens!
