My(used to be)best friend meghan who now I don't like anymore is flirting with my other friend Alex (who I used to go out with but now he's a really big crush)and she knows I like him alot and if I talked to her about it she would just take it he wrong way like she did last time I tried and I don't know how to get her to stop cuz it really upsets me and I think she knows why I'm mad at her but she just i/ms me asking why I'm mad and pretends like she doesn't know and I think her and my friend Julie were talking about it and meghan asked her to ask me what was wrong and that made me mad too! And I don't wanna be meghan's friend for so many reasons but I just can't deal with her flirting with Alex then denying she likes him and saying she likes this other kid. What should I do?

Just talk to her about it and if she gets mad or anything like that then she apparently wasnt a really good friend anyways. You also need to know that you cant stop her from liking this kid. If she tells you she really likes him too then you should just both give up on the guy. I know that sounds hard but its the only way. If Alex gets a big crush on one of you then you shouldn't get upset if he does/doesnt pick you. You shouldnt lose a friend over a guy, but if she does stuff like this all the time then cut her loose
Hope that helps

karenR answered Saturday April 2 2005, 1:58 pm: I'll be the bad guy.
If you are no longer dating Alex, you really have no say in who does or doesn't flirt with him or date him. If you want to get back together with him then you need to approach him about it.
If he say's no then he's free game. Sorry, that's the way it is.
I don't approve of the way your friend is acting, but she really isn't doing anything wrong. Sorry, had to be said. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
SexyHal answered Saturday April 2 2005, 1:11 pm: Well I wanna start off by saying that Meghan isnt being a very good person if she knows you like him and she flirts with him and pretends she doesnt know. I think what you should do is talk to Alex.. you can call him or do it in person either way is good. When you are talking to him explain to him how you feel and how it is hurting you to see what Meghan is doing Im sure he will understand. After that he should tell you how he feels about it and things can get worked out that way. Good luck. I hope I helped [ SexyHal's advice column | Ask SexyHal A Question ]
gp4l answered Saturday April 2 2005, 12:57 pm: ok look if shes really your friend she wouldnt lie to you and also if she knew what she was doing was making you feel some type of way she would stop...so what you need to do is tell her straight up that even if she doesnt like him she always flirts with and that makes you feel some type of way and if shes your true friend she will take into consideration what you tell her and she'll stop it really doesnt matter what she says to you after you tell her it just matters that you tell her everything you have to say and then go from there...if shes your true friend everything will eventually work out just fine if she's not your true friend and doesnt take your feelings into consideration then forget her...hope i helped [ gp4l's advice column | Ask gp4l A Question ]
Michele answered Saturday April 2 2005, 12:37 pm: OK, this sounds corny but it works. She is trying to get you mad, and when you get mad, she wins. She flirts with Alex knowing thatyou like him and knowing that it gets you mad, then right away, she IM's you to see "why are you mad"
she already knows the answer.
First she sticks the knife in, then she turns it when she IM's you to why you are mad. She is taunting you.
SOLUTION....
IGNORE HER. it will drive her crazy.
Smile, look happy when she flirts with ALEX, it will drive her nuts. She will soon loose interest in doing that to you and find someone else to do it to. I know, I tried this and it works.
Don't give her control over your emotions by getting mad. Keep control of your life with you. Never let anyone get you mad or angry. Then they win.
