There's a boy that used to be the kind of friend that I would tell my problems to when me and my b/f were going out. But after my b/f and I split, my friend completely fell in love with me. I don't like him that way, just as a friend, but he's trying to control my love life by being over jealous.He says he won't stop until I go out with him. I have a new b/f now, but I can't let anyone know because I don't want my friend to find out and he'll be hurt.He gets mad whenever I'm on the phone with my b/f. What should I tell him? I don't want to lose his friendship, because he is a really good friend.
Sorry about the length, but please help!! Thanks!

Just tell him that you really don't have feelings for him like that, but you really care about him and want to still be good friends. If he keeps up, then just ignore him or tell a trusted adult that he's harassing you or something. He's probably not a true friends anyways if he says he won't stop until you go out with him.
*Hope I helped!*

Karen answered Friday February 11 2005, 5:58 pm: If he is really your good friend, you need to tell him to stop over protecting you and being jealous. He should understand, since is a good friend but tell him that this is effecting your friendship between him. He can't control you on who you can love. Tell him he needs to calm down with getting mad at you because if you don't like him, then you don't have to go out with him. This friend really isn't a great friend but when you talk to him and tell him how you feel, make sure you can support yourself with details or examples. Hope I helped :)

shake answered Friday February 11 2005, 5:30 pm: Hes not your friend. That simple, a good friend would notice they cant get what they want and stop. This person is an ass and should be dropped immediately. Tell them, if they cant quit the friendship is over. He'll stop because if he cant have you in a close relationship, he'll want you to be his freind at least. [ shake's advice column | Ask shake A Question ]
