In a right old Pickle

Hey there, excuse me for posting anonymous.

Well I'm, as the title says, in a right old pickle. Im currently at university where im having a great time. Social life is awesome and the work isnt that bad. Well recently me and a good friend of mine (female) got together. Now it seems to have developed into a habbit everynight we go out. What make its worse is the fact my best mate is really close and likes her. And quiet recently he found out whats been going on and seems quiet distant towards me.

Can you guys help out? What should i do?

If you and this girl are just hooking up on nights out then the best thing to do is just to stop it because it's hurting your friend. What is more important to you? Your friend or a night with some girl?

If your getting into a relationship with this girl then explain to your friend what happened and explain to him that you don't want this to get in the way of your friendship with him. It will still hurt him but it's better to just lose a girl than lose a girl and a best friend.

Depends on your feelings towards this girl. If you like her...tell your mate this. But if you don't think much of her in that way, tell your mate that she's all his and that you'll step back.

Seems like you have to make a choice here.
