How to Date a Guy That Likes Another Girl

Dating a guy that likes another girl can be challenging. This is especially true if you are still in the beginning stages of the relationship. In most cases, it is possible to successfully continue to date the guy as long as you put forth an effort to make the relationship work.

Instructions

1. Remember that he is dating you. He is choosing you over the other girl as long as he continues to date you.

2. Try to understand your guy's feelings. This includes his feelings toward you, your relationship and the other girl.

3. Know what he finds attractive about her. This may include her looks, her car, her attitude or just the fact that she is popular.

4. Respect your guy's friendship with her. If they were friends before you started to date him, you shouldn't expect him to give up his friends for you. Try to become her friend.

5. Trust your guy. This is the foundation of every relationship. If he gives you reason to distrust him, try to talk to him about your feelings and work on a compromise to make the situation better for everyone involved.

6. Take pride in yourself. Be sure that you continue to pay attention to your attitude, actions and appearance. A guy wants others to desire his girl.

7. Support your guy. If you argue with him constantly or fail to support him, he will surely leave you and find someone who will support him.

Tips & Warnings

• In some cases, it may be easier to break up with your guy. Think about the situation and talk to a trusted friend or adult if you think that breaking up may be best.

• Never do things that violate your principles, beliefs or values just to keep dating a guy.

• Don't talk bad about the other girl that he likes. Talking bad about her will make you seem less attractive and possibly vindictive.
