Long story short I'm interested in pursuing a girl I've recently became friends with. My room mate, who is also my friend, met her a while back. I've known for some time that he too is interested in her, but can see that either he isn't making a move or it's going nowhere/ she isn't interested in him.

However, lately I've been sensing that she is showing interest in me and am conflicted with how to proceed. Is it okay to go behind my friends back in this case? I would have already made a move by now but feel guilty and don't want to make it awkward at my house.

Just tell him, "Hey, I was thinking about asking out What's-her-name and I just wanted to let you know."

That way he won't be surprised and your conscience can be (kind of) clear.

There's no guarantee it won't still be awkward, though.

If he is really into her... prepare to lose a friend. You will be seen as CB'ing him .. even if she's not interested in him you will probably get the blame.

Assuming that you can’t have both, who do you need more? Your roommate or this girl?

If he never has dated her why do you feel you are going behind his back? I always live by never mess with another guys girlfriend or wife...but with that said, as far as you know they never dated so I suggest having a sit down with him and ask him if he has any plans to date her etc as you find yourself now interested in her....talk with him....don't be a snake in the grass about anything in your life.

No, it's NOT okay to go behind your friend's back. Ask him for his "permission" to date her, tell him you're going to make a play for her, or just forget her.

Ask him what's up first. If he's asked her out and been shot down then you should be good to go but if he's just hesitating you can warn him to act now or you're going to make your own move.
