Hello all! Welcome to the bloggie world of the RE(tard) and QT!! We are happy to have you join us for this week’s question, brought to us by an ‘anonymous’ reader. Meaning, we aren’t telling you who submitted this question.
Dear QT and RE(tard), (okay I, QT, added that tard, but I deem it fair)
So there’s two best friends, a guy and a girl. Let’s call them Zach and Lucy. Zach tells Lucy about another girl he basically just wants to screw… but then, this girl, who seems to think Zach actually has feelings for her, asks Lucy her opinion (whether he likes her, etc.) since she’s Zach’s best friend. What should she do? Should she, as the best friend, cover up for him and encourage it, or as a woman, stick up for OtherGirl and tell her that he just wants to have some fun? (Does that even make sense?)
Yes our fabulous blog reader, this makes perfect sense. Never fear, RE and QT are here!
RE’s Response: I would recommend that Lucy tell Zach that the girl has feelings for him.
Here’s why: It’s fairly faithful to both of her relationships. She has told Zach the reality of the situation – thereby not letting him walk into it blindly. And, at the same time, though it may appear she’s betrayed the confidence of her female friend, I suspect her female friend could recognize the motive to protect her to some degree. If Zach then decides to still ’screw’ this girl, that is up to him and his conscience. The girl should not get mad at you if he decides to still screw her and then walk away. Why? Because he knew she had feelings as well and he is the one who did the screwing.
No, I don’t believe the answer would change if Lucy had feelings for Zach.

QT’s Response: See now, I pictured this scenario in my head, using myself and my Wingman. And I saw it going like this:
Wingman: I want to bang her. {Wingman pointing to some chick}
QT: {QT looks to see who the girl is} Okay but she totally thinks you’re into her for more than sex. So watch it.
Wingman: Hmmm. Okay. Hey! We should drink beer!
QT: Yeah!
And there you go. The thought is, Wingman is my BFF. I’d tell him the truth and yet at the same time, give no encouragement to the girl that likes him. And let them each go from there. Bam!
