You've got to all hang out together. AT THE SAME TIME!! I know its tough cause you feel like its a competition, but if you agree that each time you go out with Cassy you'll invite your other friend to come along, too... eventually she'll start inviting you,too... and everyone will know you're now a "group" instead of just a "pair." The competition is over, and you'll all have a lot more to do. [ mercedes's advice column | Ask mercedes A Question ]

Maybe if you spent equal time with both of them, the other one wouldn't get jealous over the other friend. Just try hanging out together and do other things TOGETHER as a GROUP .. don't just leave someone singled out. [ ShudaBeenAbLonde's advice column | Ask ShudaBeenAbLonde A Question ]

The only way to solve it, is to make it clear that you realize that this is going on. Tell her that you don't want it to be a battle for her friendship. It might cause a big ol' fight but things like that alwyas end up being solved, just with time. It's the only way anything wil happen. [ hErEtoheLp's advice column | Ask hErEtoheLp A Question ]
