You've got that right! Love is an incredibly strong thing, and at the risk of being a huge nerd, I see why the Vulcans consider it a mental disease LOL.

You're right that friendship is very strong, maybe stronger, but then my friendship with this girl about just as strong. I cared about her a lot, as a friend, for a couple 2 years before falling for her. Of course the friendship with my bro is just as important and maybe more, in a unique way. We're more like brothers at this point, and oddly enough we both have the same last names lol.

I would tell your very good friend the situation. You mentioned that he really doesn't take the relationship serious. I would be respectful but foward. And I'd also be understanding. Yes, the cards would be on the table but any other alternative would cut your friend out and that, my friend, is something you might regret if this girl turns out to be "a mistake"
You know you're right, most people who posted in this thread are right. He is my best friend and I think he'd understand, but I think I'll bring it up with him when he's more serious about ending it. In the meantime though, I think I'll suggest that he does end it. Not just for my benefit, I think I'd suggest it no matter what the circumstances, he's just not handling it very well.
