how do I deal witht he 23 year old? she knows we had a good friendship,,know it bothers her at times. know her through my good friend we all worked togethre se still do he left company before they started to date (link)
Hello, I'm sorry this is a bit late, but what exaclty seems to be the problem here? Are you jealous? Do you not like her, is she a bad person? Whatever the problem is, take into consideration: Does your male friend truly love the girl? If he does, and she loves him back, then try to get to know the girl. See what her interests and hobbies are, and maybe you could get to know her a bit more and like her more.

If she's bothered by your previous friendship, tell her that you two are just friends, and nothing more. She won't be entirely convinced, but at least she'll have some closure.


ok i have a problem....there is this girl and she was one of my good friends untill one day her mom calls to complain all these mean thing that i did even though there not true....so what do i do...i cant just not be friends with her! SHES MY NEITHERBOR!!! (link)
Where did your friend's mom get that idea from? Tell her that you did none of those things, and maybe she'll understand.


There's this smart, great, funny, talented, awesome, well-rounded guy at my school that girls would fall head over heels for to date. There's just one problem: he's black, and we attend a predominantly white school. Many people wouldn't have a problem with this, but his parents won't let him date girls that aren't black, and all of the black girls in our area are "ghetto", and he's not like that. My friend asked him to prom and they were both psyched but his parents won't let him go because she's white. He's never had a girlfriend and I feel really bad. Thoughts on this issue? (link)
Why don't you ask your friend to go over to her his house for a study date as friends? Maybe she'll grow on the parents and they'll see that she's really nice after all, even if she's not black.


There is this person who i hate but she thinks i'm her friend. My best friend feels the same way as i do and right now they are in an all out war. She won't understand that my friend and i don't want her around. How do i make her understand without hurting her too much? (link)
First, think of a reason why you don't like her. Then get a person who shares her intrests to come sit with you at lunch. Once they get talking and get friendly with each other, talk to the girl you don't like in private saying you don't like her. Break it to her gently and tell her the reason why you don't like her. Maybe then, she'll get the hint and go off with her friend and leave you alone.


My best friend has been consumed by a totally worthless boyfriend. He's a jerk who demands all her time; she was so much cooler before he came along! How can I get her back? (link)
Let your friend see, in some way, that he is a total jerk. You can drop hints here and there, saying stuff like how controlling he is, how needy he is, how big a jerk he is, etc. But don't EVER go straight up to her and make her choose between you and him. If it gets mroe serious, tell her some reasons you don't like him and why he's worthless, and let her decide for herself. Hopefully, she will see he is a no-good jerk, and all will be right with the world.
