Ie tryed to give my advice to her and she ses that its not my business and that i shouldnt give my opinion.. she also said that he might change if they got inot a relationship..in my own opinion she is jus desperate to have a bf and i deciving herself into thinking she likes the first guy she sees... i really dont want to see her hurt again.. what can i do???

Courtney answered Wednesday June 2 2004, 9:23 pm: All I have tell you is to sit your friend down and tell her 'to wake up and smell the cofee' . The cofee is that he seems to have no interest in her and if he doesn't have any interest in her now, (mainly acting like a jerk) how does she ever expect him to have any interest in her when thery're supposedly in a relationship . Also mention the possibility to her that he might be a jerk and turn her down and make her look and feel bad about herself . This brings low esteem and you will come to doubt yourself . Also tell her that she doesn't need a man just to be there for her because , most importantly , she has you there as a friend . If she doesn't listen , than it'll be another hard lesson of life hopefully well learned . Don't be the type that says, " I TOLD YOU SO" . Be the type of friend that says ," HE WASN'T, IS , AND NEVER WILL BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR A PERSON LIKE YOU " . Please rate my advice whatever you want to . O.K. BY .

they didn't do anything they would like still talk to me and stuff but they would always aviod the subject of her not matter what it tookand if they saw me with her they would just pretend they didn't know me at all
finally i got really sick of it and couldn't stand spending all my time with her because i didn't have any friends so i relized that my friends were more important then her so i dumped her and talked to my friends about it and they agreed that i did the right thing and everything has been fine ever since then [ alderworth1's advice column | Ask alderworth1 A Question ]

hErEtoheLp answered Wednesday June 2 2004, 8:27 pm: Well babe there's not much you can do. If the guy ignores her then you should show her that somehow. You've already talked to her and tried to get her to listen and she wouldn't. The only thing you can do now is tell her that you've gave her your opinon and for her not to be suprised that it won't get far. Just let her know that she can do better, be with someone who actually gives their time to her and that she could have such a more meaningful relationship... but i mean, the guy doesn't seem like he's going to ask her out really. It seems like he's just using her for when he's bored and has nothing to do. Does she realize that? [ hErEtoheLp's advice column | Ask hErEtoheLp A Question ]
