I've never made one of these threads before, so I expect it to be a fulfilling experience.
It's Tuesday night. This Thursday, two girls are coming over to my apartment. They're both pretty cute, but one has a boyfriend. We'll call the single one Badgamer, and as for the taken chick, we'll call her Goodfriend. You may be asking, "How did you come into contact with these girls?" Excellent question, readers.
They both work with my roommate Salthook at a hardware/appliance/etc store. Saltyballs has been in the friend zone with Goodfriend for... approximately... since the dawn of time, roughly. But he's always had a big thing for her. Anyway, it's safe to say that nothing's going to happen there.
Badgamer just recently started working at this place, and she works in the same department as Goodfriend. Salty found out from spending countless hours at Cabinets & Appliances that she is apparently a little bit of a gamer, having played a bunch of CS and dated a WoW player for a long time. Some of you may be thinking, "Wow, a girl gamer! My fantasy!" Well, don't feel bad, because you're in the same boat as my dear beloved roommate. Others are probably thinking, "Counterstrike? AND she dated a WoW player? Chump-ass noob IMO?" Right on!
So this girl plays games and is pretty cute. That right there is love to many people, and my roommate is included. He eventually mustered up the courage to ask Badgamer over for dinner and drinks, and she said she'd gladly come over. He even told her to bring a cute friend for me. What a champ!
BUT THEN...
Goodfriend informed Saltyballs that it would be just as friends. DENIED! FRIEND ZONED! AWFUL! My heart went out to my dear sweet beloved roommate in dealing with such a tragedy.
Now, you may be asking, "Where's this going, yubee? Both girls friend zoned your roommate. What does this have to do with you?" Fine, impatient readers, I'll get straight to the point.
Goodfriend and Badgamer came over last week as friends. It was fun! We all had fun, and Goodfriend and I drank heartily. Salty and Badgamer? Not so much. So when Goodfriend left early, Badgamer was alone, completely exposed to your intoxicated author. Normally I can be pretty shy and reserved, but when I drink a little bit, I UNLEASH MY TRUE POWER LIKE A PHOENIX EXPLODING IN AN INTENSE, FIERY HOT SUPERNOVA! YAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Badgamer enjoyed my personality enough that she /f a'd me on that horrible MySpace site, sent me a few comments, and orchestrated a plan with Goodfriend to come back over this Thursday. And this time she wants to drink.
Now I don't want to assume, you all know what happens when that happens! It makes an ass out of u and me! Get it? Anyway, I don't want to make any unfounded assumptions, but it sounds like this girl might just be interested in getting with me. The same girl who denied my roommate. The same roommate who has been extremely unsuccessful in getting ass his entire life, and is understandably kind of bitter about it. I mean, he gave them the A-OKAY right away when they propositioned drinking together again. For me that means even though he's in the friend zone with both of them, he's so hopeful isn't he? Poor guy. =[
So here's the big question. Do I risk hooking up with this girl if she comes onto me? Do I stick with the golden rule of bros before hoes? Do you think he would be upset if anything did happen? I'd talk to Saltyballs about it, but I hate getting personal with him since it can be very uncomfortable to delve into his relationship woes. What to do!?

your friend should understand because some ass for you is better than no ass for anyone
if he is really bitter and doesn't get any and you're a really good friend of his, maybe id consider not doing anything... but this is a pretty extreme case
either way i hope salthook has more irl moves than he does macro in tvz LOL

bros before hos is overrated

Bros before hoes only applies when the dude has a chance of getting with a girl or his ex. If he's had his chance and missed it, BB4H no long applies.

he's your roommate so things can get kind of awkward... (and he doesnt seem like a chill guy)
but go for the ho anyway

Talk to him. Maybe he'll be ok with it. If he isn't, it's probably not worth alienating your roommate for a girl. If he is ok with it, then w00t for you!
Hopefully he'll understand that he's not going to get anywhere with her, so he has no reason to be upset. It's not like you're cockblocking him or anything.

I'm a firm believer that if a friend is trying to hook up with a girl and fails, then it is definitely ok for someone else to have a go. You need to make sure you talk to your friend though. Just ask him if he minds. If he says he does mind then hes kind of lame, but then it's on you whether or not to further pursue.

the thing about asking him is that even if he says it's okay, there's absolutely no way he's not going to feel some sort of jealousy or annoyance by the situation. these things manifest themselves in very ugly ways.
i think it's pretty unrealistic to just hope he'll be 'cool with it.' feeling really shitty is perfectly natural when your roommate is banging some girl you failed to get on the other side of a 2 inch wall.

if she's a cs player just tell your roommate she awped you and you have to go over to her apartment to respawn

He's asking a guy, not a girl. Sure it will suck for that night, but if hes normal then he will not care after that night. Of course if he isn't normal and has trouble finding women then I retract my post saying to go for it.

he can't dibs both of them, jeez. what a tool he'd be if that were the case. he should be understanding, tell him you'll take off with badgamer so him and goodfriend can have some alone time.
|
Lol. the names were too funny, distracted me from the entire rest of it. goodfriend and saltyballs.
Seriously, you should go for it. Your roommate with almost certainly be a little jealous, but probably not enough that he will hate you.

The same roommate who has been extremely unsuccessful in getting ass his entire life, and is understandably kind of bitter about it.
