ok...one of my BEST friends is very flirty! I'm not sure why...but she is! It seems like all she wants to do is flirt and be ually active with guys! I havn't been hanging out with her as much because of this...If she happens to get pregnant or any type of thing, I don't want to be apart of it! She always wonders why I don't hang out with her as much and I tell her...but she always denies doing the things she does. How can i help her realize that i don't want her getting hurt and hang out with her more...WITHOUT her getting upset with me?!?!?!??!?!

For now, tell her that you will always be there to support her, especially if things go wrong and she does get pregnant or whatever, but you don't like who she's become and you miss the old her. Tell her that you don't want a reputation like the one she's getting (that might also help her to realise what people are beginning to think of her), so for now you're steering clear unless she changes. Tell her how much you miss doing stuff together (all the stuff you used to do) like shopping, or running, or whatever the hell you two used to do as your 'best friend thing', but that you'd rather not know her at all (or not hang around with her) and miss out on all that great stuff than hang around with her now she's changed so much/when she's being so flirty (if she's always been like that). Hopefully it will then hit home with her how flirty she's being.
There's a couple of ideas, hope they helped...
Oh, and you're totally right for not hanging around her so much. The thing is, even if she hasn't changed, you probably made friends with the non-flirty girl (because she wouldn't flirt with you) and now you're seeing the other side of her. Maybe it's who she is and she can't change...if that's the case, you've just got to accept that you misjudged her character and move on. Stay friends with her but cool it down to that, don't be hanging around with her all the time, because you're right - you'll egt the same reputation.
And don't tell her this over IM - things can be so eaisly misinterpreted online.
Remember that she could just be insecure and that's why she's flirting. Tell her that she's beautiful so why should she have to beg for the guys attention when they give it her already?
Good luck!!
Blessed Be,

If you really no longer want to be her friend then her feelings really shouldn't matter. Just tell her you no longer want to be friends and don't talk to her anymore. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
