hey my best friend really likes this guy, and he likes her too. Me and my friend made a deal, if I dont have a boyfriend she cant have a boyfriend, if i dont have a boyfriend she cant have a boyfrind. (i know kinda dumb) we told each other we wouldent break the deal. I cant find a boyfriend all the guys are taken. Im popular and pretty, but there is a problem the guy that my friend likes is who I like too. She dosent know. I think he likes me too, but he likes her more. He flirts with me all the time he touches me and you know the drill. What should I do? Does he like me? Should I tell my friend? PLEAZE, PLEAZE HELP. SIGNED

First, I commend you for being such a good one by keeping with the deal, however it seems to me that she may not want a boyfriend yet. Women are like snowflakes, everyone is different as are what they want in life at certain points.
If she is (and I know how it is to have friends who seem to be blind to whats in front of them) I think that you should try to get them together or discuss the deal and bring the guy up. Dont get involved if it seems they dont want you too because men come and go, but friends (especially girlfriends) the best ones are forever.

It's very important that you keep and honest relationship with your friends, and in return your bond will grow stronger. Now, don't fret if the guy chooses your friend, not every guy is taken, you're being a little dramatic. I wondering how old you are, because if you are in or out of college, then saying all the guys are taken is like saying a cow can fly while shooting Nazis with a pig. Wait... what does that even.. Nevermind. But if you are in high school, relationships like having a 'boyfriend' generally don't last. The longest the average girlfriend-boyfriend realtionship lasts is until college. And usually it starts in junior/senior year. Although now with ICQ , Jabber, and other IM-thingies a relationship can be kept, it still isn't a good idea, as being a teenage you probably aren't as mature as you think. In the sense that you don't know for SURE how much you like this guy. What else... Oh yes, if he chooses your friend and still flirts with you, you tell him "What the [insert whatever you feel like here]." He really doesn't sound like a great guy if he's flirting with two girls anyway. Whatever, I just hope I helped at least somewhat. [ Logic-Man's advice column | Ask Logic-Man A Question ]
spacefem answered Tuesday March 2 2004, 10:32 pm: this is the stupidest "deal" i have ever heard of. Friendships should be about how you feel about each other, not who you're dating. Stop being drama queens and go out with who you want to. [ spacefem's advice column | Ask spacefem A Question ]
