I know this guy at school and we're kinda friends. the thing that bothers me is that he always tries to take what i have. In 7th grade he took my best-friend and made my best friend his. he did the same thing last year with another really close friend of mine. now he's trying to go out with my ex-girlfriend! am i over-reacting... or do i need to do something?

Michelley answered Monday October 11 2004, 2:50 pm: I don't think you're over-reacting. He should NOT want to go out w.your ex unless its OK w.you. You probably just need to tell him "I don't think its a good idea to go out w.my ex" If he makes a big deal out of it just say you don't want her to turn him against you because...she def. will. Like seriously no matter how nice she might seem, shes gonna have a grudge against you and she'll trash talk you and then he'll be like "omgosh he did that" and stuff and it'll ruin your friendship. Even if your just kinda friends explain it to him and if hes like "Oh don't worry" tell him if he goes out w.her...you don't know if you could be friends with him. Because its hard watching your friend go out w.your ex, it sucks =( and if he trys to steal anymore of your friends be like "____ used to be my best friend and now hes really close w.you. I wonder what happened" and he'll probably get the message that its his fault. Or if hes starting to become really good friends w.your friend try hanging out w.your friend a little more and be like "____ always turns my friends into his and it's really annoying, and I think hes trying to get you to be better friends with him then me" and then he'll realize it and not let the other guy take him away from being your friend =) And if nothing works tell the guy that you don't want him to turn your friends into his and you've lost friendships because of what he does and you'd appreciate it if he just found his own friends (*that might be a little hard to say but try to liek, work it into a conversation and it won't be so bad)
