I'm going to make a long story short. One of my good friends has this beautiful girlfriend who is approximately 6 years older than me - me and her get along incredibly well. Her and him are right now fighting and there doesn't seem to be a chance in hell of them working out long term. She wants marriage/kids and he has zero interest whatsoever in kids or marriage (has already done both)
When they inevitably break up, should I pursue her? Is it worth the risk? Is a 6 year age gap in your 20s that huge of a difference? She is seriously amazing....beautiful and has perfect personality
let the girl get over her relationship a little before you swoop in Don Juan.
historically younger males with older females around that age isn't a good thing....but its not indicative of every situation

To be honest, I don't think she ever thought this was anything long term or serious in the first place anyways. He has a ton of baggage and she has none.
I actually felt her being very flirtatious towards me today at the bar and she's made comments before like "everybody who knows you knows that you're a great guy"

Have you learned nothing from all the advice given to you? Stop fixating on one girl. Don't think about a girl who is taken, look for new girls. Come on man, she's your buddy's girl. Grow a pair and stop telling yourself this crap.

There's something about her that is just so lovable, it's hard to resist
I really wouldn't even think about this if it was any one of my other friends' but this situation...there's not a chance in hell of it working out. I would be shocked if it lasted another month

You're supposed to get over this fixation of people you're not involved with when you're a teenager. Go date someone else and don't strive to be a rebound guy. If she hasn't already hooked up with you or tried, chances are she's not going to magically be sexually attracted to you later.

Huh? This happens to people in their 30s and 40s, how does that have anything to do with "being a teenager"?

Me and her have always gotten along really great. Today, I sensed some flirting from her. Obviously, I can't pursue her and she can't do anything overly obvious because my friend is right there

1. It happens to SOME people in their 30s who don't learn better. People who get fixated on girls that they aren't even involved with end up being creepers. Stop being desperate and get out there and talk to some new women.
2. She's going through a fight with her boyfriend and you think you're picking up signals? My guess? You're just like all the other guys who think the girl likes him and ends up crying when he professes his love for her and she's dumbfounded.

I don't think the age difference is a big deal. I would ask your friend if he is ok with that if they split before you pursue that. If he is really against it there could be a lot of anger and resentment.

Who said I'm fixated? You're reading into this too closely. If I never saw her again, it wouldn't be a big deal to me
I just made this thread cause I was curious if others have experienced the same thing and what they have done in similar situations

Are you ignoring everything else I'm telling you in this thread? This was never anything long term. For christ's sake, she wants to get married and have kids - he's already been married and has several kids. He just wants companionship and sex, she wants something serious
