Q: A friend of mine likes my boyfriend. But she is going out with his best friend(we can call him Lee) She says she loves Lee but then tells other people she Loves my boyfriend and just likes Lee.. shes ubsessed with my boyfriend and flirts with him constantly in front of me.. how do i make her realize shes dating Lee not my boyfriend
State it bluntly. She's lying to both of them either way. If she really cares about your boyfriend (and who knows, it's entirely possible that she does!) then it's recommended that she break up with Lee because otherwise she's just lying to him about her feelings and being a jerk. And if Lee and your boyfriend are best friends, he'll be pretty mad at her for leading him on. Don't take it from the perspective of his boyfriend, but as her friend. Tell her the same thing you would tell anyone in that situation, 'if you don't have feelings for him, don't go out with him'.

If jealousy is another component, realize that your boyfriend chose YOU not her. Talk to her about how uncomfortable it makes you feel to have her flirting with him right in front of you and ask her nicely if she will stop because he's your boyfriend and you don't appreciate that in your friendship.

thanks!!

Hiya! I'm dwarp. A crazy 19 year old from Chicago with too much time on her hands.I started this column when I was about 14, I think and I keep coming back. My friends tend to come to me for advice, so I've gotten pretty good at answering most problems. I'm a crazy Greek vegetarian, and yes, I have seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding. It's exactly like my family, so I am really great at answering questions about insane families. I study political science and international studies and I like to learn languages. I speak English, French, German, a bit of Greek, and I'm learning Italian next semester. I've had lots of weirdo love/sex-life experiences, so I'm pretty knowledgeable in that area. Ummm.....ask me anything!
Peace!
