Friendship or Happiness?

So you tell me...

Between happiness and friendship what would you choose?
I find myself at a point in my life where two very important things in my life are going head to head. Ok so lets brake it down...

My friend (we'll call her Candice) admitted recently that she liked this one friend of ours (we can call him Gary). Now i need you to understand - this was not any old simple crush - it was the real thing, you know the fantasies, the wishes and hopes, the nervousness and totally shuting down whenever he was around. she had it like realy bad!! in fact i think this was it - her first real love.

Then there is Gary. Grate guy with all that a girl could ever be looking for in a guy. well ok all that i was looking for. He is unique. He is unpredictable and funny plus i like the way in which he can call a spade a spade.

So ok i - out of the goodness of my heart - decided to hook them up. But now this was like mission impossable because these are like two totally diffrent people and well to put it straight - GARY SIMPLY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT CANDICE EXISTED.
But now problem is this dude is showing an intrest in me and well me being single since the prehistoric times fall for him as well and really badly. And as bitchy as it sounds i was convinced that this was it for me. So imagin the situation here - my friend on one side is going on and on about how much she would love to be with this guy while on the other side this guy is making huge passes at me and me secretly wanting him as well.

So ok as a real friend i should supoport her and try and help her get this dude but at the same time as a hot blooded woman here is a grate guy throwing themselves at me and i want him too. So what do I do - choose friendship or My own Happiness?
