I would never be interested in the same person as my friend would be. It's a no, no to me even if I think that person will be my long life partner. I would back off no matter what.

(bro code number 1, right?) :p oh, and what was up with the ending and robin's wash cloth? hmmmm...... hmm.. i don’t know. i think i’m going to have to disagree with you there. i think that ted completely overreacted. first of all, they couldn’t talk about it beforehand because it’s not like barney was trying to date robin. it just happened, spur of the moment, and they both instantly regretted/ were worried about how it would affect ted. i think the fact that barney was so distraught over it should mean something to ted. yeah, the relationship was serious, but ted has a new gf now. also, they are all friends and all hang out together all the time. it’s not like robin went away and barney was sneaking around behind ted’s back. not saying what barney did was cool, but he was so contrite and obviously was trying to make up for it because he values ted’s friendship.
