Stuck in the Middle

One of my best friends had fancied this guy for quite a while now and a few nights ago, something happened between them (not sure what). He has a girlfriend, although she's away at uni. I would say my friend is fairly inexperienced with guys so whatever happened I think it was quite a big deal for her, but he is obviously not interested and it was quite drunken. However I think she wishes that it wasn't just a one-off, and she has told him this. What is really bad is that they were great friends before and now I don't know how it will work out, and I am friends wih both of them and am a bit stuck in the middle. I feel I should side with the girl since she is younger, less experienced and probably a bit desparate, also he has a girlfriend and should have known what he was doing was worng. But on the other hand I guess she was pretty dumb to get herself in this situation, and to be honest i don't know, and i don't think they really know who started it.

Please help, I just don't know what to do.

I think you should just try and stay completely out of it and completely neutral. At the end of the day, it's what happened between them two, not what happened with them two and you. Try and let them sort it out between them. Yeah, be there for your friend if she's upset, but remember she knew he had a girlfriend, so she's a bit to blame too.

I would keep right out of this, she was quite silly to get herself into this situation. Then again he should have just said no.

Thanks both of you.
I think I will try my best to stay out of it, especially since he doesn't know that i know, if you see what i mean. But already i have found it difficult to act 'normally', i guess sometimes its very hard to supress your thoughts so they don't appear on the surface.
Relationships, who'd 'ave 'em, eh?!

Have a chat with her about it but don't pressurise her, just set out all the facts in front of her and let her make the decisions.
