ok, here's the story: i liked this guy (let's call him Bob) and my friend likes (or liked) this other guy (let's call him Bill). well, we told each other during spring break about who we liked. and we promised not to tell. and neither of us did.
But now i don't like Bob and i think she still likes Bill, because it's really obvious (she flirts with him and stuff), but now that i say i don't like Bob, she acts like she doens't like Bill and if i tell her it's really obvious, she threatens to say that i still like Bob to one of the school's blabbermouths.
i know she still likes Bill and i'm getting sick of agreeing that she doesn't like him.
(by the way, we're only in junior high)

karenR answered Monday April 18 2005, 4:07 pm: Just start changing the subject when she tell's you she doesn't like Bill. I don't know why she finds it so important but she must, so just ignore the subject for now. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
siozeegreat answered Monday April 18 2005, 3:54 pm: Just try not to bring it up, because she's clearly defensive about it. Maybe she's embarrassed about you knowing who she likes when she has no idea who you like now. You can occassionally make a joke about it, or just let her know that you really don't care about who she likes and stuff, and just have her know that she can trust you and you won't go blabbing about her liking Bill.

SummerLovingXo answered Monday April 18 2005, 3:52 pm: let her pretend not to like him and wait until she admits she likes him still, or likes him "again"
or tell her its ok if she does like him....thats ok.......

oxKateKaylaxo answered Monday April 18 2005, 3:40 pm: This is VERY typical of a junior high friendship. She doesn't want to feel "left out".
This friend sounds like she definately does still like Bill, even if you don't like Bob. Tell her that she shouldn't threaten you because that is not what a BFF should do. If she is persistent about telling you she doesn't like Bill, then just learn to ignore it. It is her fault for not admiting to it.
