Well, I have liked this guy (Luis) since around December or November 2011. WHILE I was in a relationship with someone else (Mikey). But I was forced to push my feelings (For Luis) aside due to the fact that I was really expecting my relationship with Mikey to last. But none the less we broke up and now my feelings for Luis are coming back. And it's not like I don't know him, I mean I have known him for nearly a year (We met in October). So Luis and I kind of have a thing, we act as if we are dating but we aren't actually dating (No it's not quite friends with benefits. It's more of an unofficial relationship). I have been told by several people that Luis likes me and to go for it... But my big problem is, my friend Emily who is an ex of Luis's says she will not be friends with anyone who dates one of her ex's... While my friend Sammy, who is another ex of Luis's, says to go for it because he is a great guy and that Emily can get over it. She also said that it isn't in Emily's power to tell me who to date.

Should I follow my heart and date Luis in the hope that Emily won't completely hate me? Or should I trash my feelings for Luis to keep a friend that I haven't known for as long as Luis?

I'm just looking for an opinion on my situation, I'm going to say now that I will at least take your opinions into consideration. But I cannot promise I will follow it.

It's not up to Emily who you date. If you like Luis, and he likes you, then go for it. Like your friend said, Emily will get over it, and if she doesn't, she's pretty childish.

So I wouldn't worry about it. Like the OLD saying - "Alls fair in love and war." LOL

Best of luck and I hope you two make it. God bless. Hugs, Lee

I would talk to Emily; see if she wants to continue the relationship, joke with her about running out of men because she has dated so many good ones, etc. Her attitude should determine whether you want to be friends with her, which doesn't really have anything to do with who you date/Luis.
