Ok, so I've liked this girl for a long time, and during the beggining of the school year she also liked me (I didn't know it back then). Now, she's going out with one of my friends, but we still talk a lot. She also keeps on asking me who I like (A lot!) Every time she says that though, I just ward it off by saying something else. So my question is...should I tell her that I like her, or keep that secret safe with me? (link)
I think that you should let her know how you feel, but also let her know that you respect the fact that she has a boyfriend.


My friends always tell me im pretty and that im the skinniest out of all of us whenever i say im fat or that im ugly or hate my hair and things like that and i dont know if they are doing this to make me feel better or not? what do you think? (link)
It doesn't matter what I think. Ask them yourself and get the real answer. Ask them in a serious tone because they may just say they aren't lying just so they won't hurt your feelings.


Okay, so I'm having a party for the end of the school year and I want to invite guys. Here;s the problem, the ratio of my close guy friends to close girl friends is about 5:15 or 1:3. Thats'a going to be a realy awakrd gap for the guys because some of them aren't great friends with the others, but I still want to invite the guys. Should I add at the bottom of the invitation, "Invite some of your guy friends, or it will be uneven numbers, but tell me whose coming."? (link)
I don't think you should put at the bottom of the invitation "Invite some of your guy friends". Because you may not know their guy friends. They may be rude, cause trouble, boring, etc. If you know any other guys outside of school then you should invite them but I don't recommend letting people invite guys you don't know to YOUR party.


ok- so my friends birthday is tomorrow, and i have no idea what to get her. is there anything that you can get a teenage girl that works for all types/personalities? if it helps she is sporty and not preppy (link)
-gift card
-lotion
-perfume
-body wash
-jewlrey


Well long story short--my friend knew I liked this guy..and well she made a move on him..blah blah blah I got mad at her..it's been about two months. REALLY STUPID..I know. But I don't want to be mad anymore..but I can't just all of a sudden talk to her..it'd be weird. Please help. I miss her! (link)
Let her know that it was stupid of you to get mad at her for something so little and that you want you all's friendship back.


I have this class and there is this guy that i talk to the entire period. Today we were doing something and we sat at a table and i had my hand out on the table and he put his hand on mine like he wanted to hole hands with me. I have a huggeee crush on this guy.

Would this be a sign of anything? (link)
Yeah, he might like you or likes flirting with you.


I am having this after party after my school dance and a lot of people are coming. Except this one girl, she has been so rude and mean and bitchy to me and she NEVER talks to me. But now she expects to be invited. Her two freinds who were invited, (who i'm freinds with) won't come unless she is invited, and I want them to come. My question is, should I invite this girl and be the bigger person? Or not invite her? (link)
If you don't want her to come then don't invite her.


Does anyone know a good way to tell who your real friends are? because i have a feeling that alot of my "friends" are backstabbers. Is there a way i can find this out without being too obvious? thanks so much! (link)
If they get jealous of you a lot, talk bad about you, if they put you down, and if you can't trust them or depend on them.


Last night I found out a bunch of my best guy friends smoke, drink, and do weed. I broke down cause you never really think it'll happen to you. Me and some of my other friends want them to get help, before its too late. What could we do; ( Annonymously if possible ) ? (link)
When they ask you for help then you should give it to them. Until then mind your own business.


okay.. im sorry if this is long. but i need help mucho bad.. and sooner than later.. so okay..me and my friend always fight.. and well me and him just got into a fight.. and it was because in the begining of the year me and my friend made a bet. it was about a dance.. and my friend said that i should go with him.. and i said no he wouldnt want to go with me. and i was like i bet you 200 dollars. and so yeah.. he found out about it. and well i guess he got mad.. and now he's like not talking to me.. and idk.. i really want to try and fix our friendship.. but im not sure if i can.. any ideas on what i should say.. and im gunna see him tommrow so it would help if the ideas where in sooner... but its okay if there not.. ill rate 5's for any serious answerss.. PLEASEEEE HELPP

thnxx!! (link)
Tell him to leave the past in the past.
Let him know that you didn't say anything bad about him, it's just you don't think that he would want to go with you.


i dont want this to sound really pathetic but i dont have any friends! at the start of this year i went off to college without all my old mates and now they dont talk to me and i havent made any new ones.. i have tried to make new friends but it hasnt worked. im not very confident and i am really shy, has anyone got any tips on how to 'fit in' a bit more and make new friends? thanks x (link)
I don't think you should try and "fit in."
Make sure that you stay true to who you are. You don't want to give of vibes that you are someone that you aren't.

Most people are more comfortable making friends with people who look easy to approach. So you should try not to give off mean vibes.

You could also be the one doing the approaching. Walk up to person and introduce yourself.
"Hi my name is ____, what's yours?"
Then build up a conversation from that. State your major, what you like to do, etc. Whatever you are comfortable saying you should say.


i have been bestfriends with this girl since the 8th grade, i am now in 11th, and when she was in 9th grade she went out with this guy.
when they broke up me and the guy started to become better friends. This year i would say we have become way better friends and of course i form a huge crush on him. i would say that it is safe that if i asked him to prom he would say yes. the only problem is the relationship between my bf and her ex. she wants them to be friends but he doesn't. She is one of my closest friends but i don't really wanna pass up this possible great relationship with this guy and if i asked him i rish officially ruining my relationship with my friend. what should i do before it is too late? (link)
Because their relationship was years ago, your bestfriend might not mind.

I think that you should talk to your bestfriend about it. I'm not sure what you all's point of view on dating each other exs are. So just talk to her and let her know that you really like him and that it would mean a lot to you if you could take her ex to the prom with her being okay with it.

If she is okay with it then I think you should definitely ask him to the prom.


some guys that i know.. not really MY friends.. but we kinda have some same friends.. text me and are like "ur flat" .. and i think they all think that. and i know i shouldn't care and whatever but is that all anyone thinks? it's so annoying and idk what to dooo

i rate highhhh (link)
They need to get some lives. You can either let them know how you feel about that or ignore them.


ok well i just broke up with someone..and now im single.and happy.so now EVERYONE is asking me who i like.its getting so annoying..so my past 2 bfs stil like me.this random guy ..and my best friend.now my best friend is cute..and we can talk abut everything..i had no clue he liked me.this is really hard for me..and now i no he likes me.but everone thinks i like him but i don't, and even if i did i couldn't cause i don't want to ruin our friendship.im so confused. i don't no if i like him..i neeed help (link)
If you don't like him then let him know that so you won't lead him on. If you do like him then you two should talk about it so if you two were to break up you'll would still be friends.

Either way,communication is the key to solving it.


okay so my friend is mad at me and shes using all these things ive said to her or other people out of context b/c when u hear them yea they sound bad but if u think about why i said them and what was going on it all makes sense. she wont listen to me tho i keep trying to explain to her why i said the things i did but she just wont let me say it. i dont want her to be mad at me or anyone else but how do i get them to listen? (link)
Communication is very important in a friendship.
If you have already tried to talk to her more than once then I think you should give her some space. There is no way to make her talk to you. When she is ready she will.


My bestfriend of 7 years has really annoyed me lately (16/f). A couple weeks ago I was not invited to go get icecream-her idea-with her and two other girls-basically our "group" minus me. And tonight after a tennis tournament (I am on varsity 1 and played yesterday and the other girls played today for varsity 2) they planned on going home, showering and what not and then going out to eat. I was not invited. I saw on one of my friends away message "shower and out to eat with my tennis girls!". I imed my bff (she had an away message of 'in the shower' and i said "Hey when you get out call me! I want icecream! Maybe you me amanda and nadine?" About 20-30 minutes later she calls and says "Hey i got your message, but we're going out to eat do you want to come?". So here's where my question is. I was mad/hurt for not being already invited since she is my bestfriend and I was just an afterthought and was only invited because I asked about icecream. And it wasn't as if they had just gotten back from the tournament and just hadn't called, they were about to leave. Am I acting bitchy or is it understood? There are other things that have happened to make me doubt that I should be friends with her. She seems flakey and selfish. Advice? (link)
You are either not telling us the whole story because it seems wierd for a best friend of seven years to act this way or she is trying to have some space.

It seems like if she didn't want to be your friend anymore she wouldn't have invited you at all.


hi guys. Ok, i moved away this summer and wasn't allowed to tell my friends until the last few weeks b/c my parents are well, basically, very private. So I tried to call everyone in that time period but i couldnt get a hold of everyone and had to tell people to spread the word. I felt really bad about it but i had no choice. Then I find out that one of my friends from my old town hates me. I email and try to set things right explaining everything but she refused to believe me and proceeded to cuss me out. She wants nothing to do with me and says she hates me and that i am a fake and a bunch of bad words and told me to **** off. She is also spreading bad rumors about me around my old school and ruining the squeeky clean image i had. I really just want to get through to her but she is being really stubborn. I really wasn't allowed to tell anyone. What should I do she refuses to believe me?? THank you, Megz2009 (link)
If she refuses to believe you and you have already made attempts to explain the situation to her then there isn't much left for you to do except look at the situation as a learning experience and drop her as a friend.
Maybe you could get your other friends at your old school to let people know that those rumors about you aren't true. But whatever you do people are still going to find things to talk about you.


ok so i have this friend; we'll call her "jane." well i think she is using me. in english & tech. ed. jane is always like MELISSA MELISSA (melissa's me) BE MY PARTNER! OMG MELISSA I HAVE TO SIT NEXT TO YOU. OMG MELISSA YOU HAVE TO BE IN MY GROUP! so .. in gym she will talk to me sometimes but not that much its really annoying just bc she wants to talk to who she considres "popular" and also like at parties or outside waiting for our buses she wont really talk to me that much. how can i change this? i dont want to talk to her about it .. but i want to mention it somehow to make her think about it. or whatever you think i should do ? thanks ill write 5s! (link)
Don't try to hide it by not bringing it up.

You don't like the way she is treating you so she needs to know. Let her know that you don't want her talking a hole in your head in the classes that the grades really matter then when she gets around the popular kids she barely speaks to you.

The only way she will know what she is doing to offend you is by you telling her.


Well I have this friend we have been really close for like 3 years now and we tried dating but it never worked out. Well this year he has a gf and it seems as though he really cares about her but then when he talks to me he tells me he loves me and he cares but he doesn't really show it. I miss our old friendship it was really fun before and I know I love him but it's hard when he has a gf and he talks about her but then talks to me like im the only one.I need help how i can get over him or just get him to understand that i dont want to hear anything about her. And I have tried talking . (link)
You need to get over him. He has a girlfriend meaning he is off limits. He needs to stop telling you he loves you.

To get over him you should think about guys
-you think are hot
-make you smile
-friendly
-treats you nice

Basically try to keep your mind off of him.


my friend turned into a ttl poser and i really annoyin brat and soemtimes i cant stand her what do i do how do i tell her (link)
It helps if you wrote where I could clearly understand it.

But if you are trying to say what I think you are trying to say then here is my answer.

Dump her as a friend.
When you see her in person take her to the side and tell her what she has been doing to get on your nerves and say that's not what you are looking for in a friend.
