There exists a rule amongst the world of brothers... a rule cast in stone since time began... a rule passed on not with words as women would have it, but with that male intuition, powered by our God-given testosterone. Hurray!
That rule is....
If your friend is likes/liked a certain gal, you be nice and go fish elsewhere. But if you deem your friendship with that certain brother too shallow to be worth that piece of sheat that falls out of ur nostril, then please be my guest, go ahead and stalk her.
It's a rule i have lived by. And i think it's a pretty good rule. Treasure the male bonding rather than listen to the gonads, for they tend to lead you into temporary gain, but also a whole lot of trouble.
