Advice 4 A Girl Whos Not the Best at Picking Guys

THERE IS SWEARING IN THIS!!!!! So my past relationships have been strange. I dated a clingy, annoying, asshole. And I was just the other guys third option. And then I dated the same clingy, annoying, asshole yet again (stupid, I know).
Boyfriend #1 & 3: We dated the first time in sophmore year. At this time he was showing slight signs of being a clingy, annoying, asshole. The second time we dated was junior year. This is when the clingy and the annoying started (he was yet to show the asshole side). He would text me and if I didn't reply within 3 minutes, he would begin to blow up my phone. I am a busy girl. I usually have a lot of homework, or I need to study. I also go out to eat with my family every once in a while. Then there is also the three hour tennis practices. I didn't have a lot of free time. I would tell him, "I have to do my homework/study/go out to eat with my family/go to tennis I will text you when I'm done." But he still would blow up my phone. He would also complain to my friend (if you want to read all about her search for True Friend?) about how we don't communicate. My friend would then yell at me, and I would just get pissed because did I ever hear about this from him? No. I broke up with him a couple months ago, and that's when he was an asshole. He told all of my friends that I was talking shit about them (What the actual fuck?) when I wasn't.
Boyfriend #2: We dated when I was a sophmore and he was a freshman (yes, he was younger than me) past the middle of the last semester. He actually liked my best friend (not the friend mentioned in other post). However, she had a boyfriend at the time. Then he asked a girl on my tennis team out, but she said no. And then after all that shit he asked me out. We never went on an actual date, and the relationship didn't last long. He broke up with me because he was moving.
The part where I beg for the help of anyone who sees this: My other best friend (the one who WAS mentioned in the earlier referenced post) has a friend that I met at her church. I really like him, and according to her, he likes me too. However, he goes to a different school and he doesn't seem to have a phone. The only way that I could talk to him is through Instagram, but I have limited Wi-Fi, and my dad usually shuts me down as soon as it resets for some reason, so the only time I would be able to talk to him would be when I'm at school and when the sucky school Wi-Fi is cooperating with my phone. I feel like if we were to date, that this would put a strain on our relationship, and cause us to break up. I am afraid that I will also lose my friend. We have been friends since 6th grade, but he is like a brother to her. I don't want to lose my friend and I don't want her to feel like she would have to choose between him and me. She wants us to date though. I don't know what to do.
