Out of respect for your friend, I would leave his daughter alone for now. I mean she is only 14. She has a lot of growing up to do. For now, I would avoid being close with her or hanging around her if all possible. Less tempting that way. I know its hard, and YOU don't like it. But, you have to realize what is all at stake here. If her dad finds out, hes gonna be pissed. Thats your friend we are talking about here, and thats just wrong. Plus, the chances of anything working are slim to none. You have to realize that there could be nothing sexual between the two of you for nearly 3 yrs. If you think getting over her is hard, that will be even harder if you end up in a relationship with her. NOt to mention how your friend is gonna feel. What else could you possibly have in common with her? You can go to bars and drink, she can't drink for another good 6 yrs. Shes just starting out in high school. She probably has never even kissed a boy. So pursuing her is NOT a good idea.

Maybe once she gets to be like 18, maybe it would be worth pursuing. But, I wouldn't wait around for that to happen. There are women out there RIGHT NOW that are closer to your age. Try dating them.
