Question Posted Tuesday September 14 2004, 7:46 pm
Hey, I'm a female of 14 years old. My boyfriend dumped me 2 and a half months ago. I love him more then any thing and I just can't get over him. My best friend likes him too and says she likes him just as much as I do... which is hard to believe because she just recently started REALLY hanging out with him. He seems like he likes her too, but I've asked him countless times and every time he's said no. What I'm getting at is if he does like her and if he does decide to ask her out, what do I do? I love him more then any thing and to see them together and happy would kill me. I know I should be happy for them if they do decide to take it to the next level but I don't think thats possible. What do I do? How do I go along with this? How can I get over him? Thank you in advance!!

SleepingBeauty answered Wednesday September 15 2004, 4:44 pm: I know how you feel about not being able to get over a boyfriend and a friend wanting to hook up with him afterwards. My b/f of 2 months dumped me and four hours later started going out with my best friend who had previously dated him for about 2 weeks. I would suggest telling your friend that you understand that she likes him and all but right now it really hurts you that he might like her and you're not ready to see him move on. She should understand. If not though, talk to him. Tell him the same. Tell him that even though your friend likes him that you're just not ready to see him move on. Say that you'd rather see him alone for another week or two. Also say that this decision isn't completely selfish. You think that the two of them spending more time together outside of the "couple" situation would strengthen their relationship and show what their true feelings are.

However, you're also too young to be so hung up over him. In a year, you won't even feel remotely interested in the guy, no matter how you feel right now. Find a friend who ISN'T a backstabber and go with her on a Spa Day. [ Riggzy's advice column | Ask Riggzy A Question ]

If this dude dumped you and plans on goign out with your best friend (This seems to be your intuition--females are known for their intuiting skills) then you should probably find another guy. How do you get over him? Try the Gilmore Girls method. Lots and lots of ice cream and pizza. [ TheGovernor's advice column | Ask TheGovernor A Question ]
