My best friend and I have known each other for a few years. Since we started high school, however, she has become really needy. She will "like" a guy but she won't do anything about it..then she'll blame them for not asking her out. It becomes the focus of her life and she gets really depressed if the guy doesn't 'pay her enough attention'. I've tried telling her that guys aren't the only thing in life and that her friends love her, etc..but she wont believe it and just uses it to show how 'unloved' and 'unlistened to' she is. What do I do? I don't want to end the friendship, but I'm tired of feeling used.

I think that you need to stop babyin her because she likes the attention! Guys arent always worried about girls, i know i cant believe that either but its true, they do think about other stuff, just tell her that its her fault and tell her to be a little more outgoing and if she wants this boy bad enough then she could at least attempt to real him in! Good luck- :*:SaRa:*: [ SaraEliKirk's advice column | Ask SaraEliKirk A Question ]
Airie answered Tuesday August 24 2004, 9:42 pm: sit her down and have a talk wit her. Tell her its NoT the guys fault, becuz they dont always make the first move. If she doesnt do anything, how will they even know she likes them? And yes, continue telling her that there are much better things in life then boys...like yur friends. U'll eventually lose interest in a boy, but friends are forever. And tell her nicely that u wish she'd stop moping around feeling sorry for herself, and actually get up and go do sumthin about it! Hope i helped ya! [ Airie's advice column | Ask Airie A Question ]
SleepingBeauty answered Tuesday August 24 2004, 7:23 pm: Tell her that if guys are the most important thing to her then she should be able to talk to them and ask one out. If she can't do it obviously they're not what should be focused on the most. It's not her fault that she feels this way though. My friend does it too only she has a boyfriend. She spends all the time in the world with him and neglects her friends. She didn't get it till, actually, this morning when I explained it to her and she burst into tears saying how sorry she was and how she got it now. So just make sure you explain yourself thoroughly.
