Okay, two friends Brooke and Anne. Anne likes Eddie, and Eddie likes Brooke, and Brooke and Anne and me are great freinds. Thing is, all Anne ever does is talk about Eddie, and when Brooke and Anne and Eddie are online in a little "buddy chat" Eddie will say that Anne is pretty, and funny, and then outside of the "buddychat" he will i/m (instant message) Brooke and say, "she's not pretty, She's not funny" its so horrible. Now, all Anne says is that she really likes Eddie, but Eddie likes Brooke. All the time she talks about him, and she always asks questions like, do I look okay, and do you really think he likes me? and I always say yes, but its like I have two people telling me things, one through each ear. Anyways, heres the huge part, Anne and Eddie are going to be working together this summer, as life guards. And, so Anne thinks she has a shot with him. Now, two nights ago, Eddie and Brooke went to the movies, and they made out. Anne would NEVER make out with anyone. But Brooke wont go past that. I know this is really confusing, but they both come to me about it. And Anne and her boyfriend recently broke up, so Brooke and me think thats why she likes Eddie, because its the first guy that she thought of after they broke up. At first, the first time i had heard of Eddie was through Brooke, she was going to bring him to six flags with me and My boyfriend. But now Anne likes him. and she says that he asked her out in 6th grade but she said she had to think about it. last weekend, Brooke, Anne and I went to a movie, and Eddie was there, and Brooke was very social, and was striking up and conversation, and Anne wasnt, she just said hi, and was asking me if she looked okay. So I dont know what to do any more.
Any sugestions? Brooke and I know we have to tell Anne, but we have dropped every hint, and I even told her that we think its because her and her boyfriend broke up, and that she should stop liking him. she asked me the other day what I did when i liked a guy that didnt like me back, and i said just move on, and i told her that was the story of my life, until now, i have a great boyfriend, and Brooke and Anne both wish they had a guy like him- we've been together over 15 months!- anyways, and i toled her it was pretty much the story if every other girls life too!
Help Please!
I Know you guys hate these types of questions!
Sorry, I tried to make it as least confusing as possible, but it is confusing enough to live.
Thank you guys so much in advance!!

So this is gonna sound wrong but i would let Anne do wut she wants to. like if she wants to ask him places let her i guess if she gets her hears broke she knows herself that she has to move on. but listening to your question i realized that you are a great friend. And just make sure that you stay together fo life because you will cherish it in a couple of years.i dont know if i hepled but i hoped i did.

>_Ashlie!_< answered Sunday May 22 2005, 4:28 pm: hey kelsa,
the best thing to do is be honest with anne... just tell her that eddie likes Brooke and not her.. sometimes the truth hurts... i don't mean to be so blunt, but sometimes you've just gotta do what you gotta do [ _Ashlie!_<>>_Ashlie!_<'s advice column | Ask >_Ashlie!_< A Question ]
brokenlove712 answered Sunday May 22 2005, 3:38 pm: well i think that you should ask Eddie question that you know he will say no to and then copy and paste or save or whatever. then show Anne what he said and just explain to her that maybe he was jsut trying to be nice and that she really is pretty and nice and funni. she should understand! and if she doesnt, tell her that there are other people and that if he will lie to her about this then he OBVIOUSLY isnt for her!
PopRokz_N_GuiTaR answered Sunday May 22 2005, 1:11 pm: Hey I've been in this kind of situation before also. Im sure your friend Brooke is pretty upset because maybe she likes Eddie, like he likes her. BUt everything Anne says and dos might pull her back? I think the most important thing to do would be to tell Anee straight out that it wasnt fair that just because she had just broke up with her boyfriend that she should get obsessed with Eddie, especialy if Brooke likes him. Tell her that you never wanted to hurt her feelings..but it was bothering you. She should understand if she is a good friend!
Hope I helped

VanityScore answered Sunday May 22 2005, 12:03 pm: I think your friends have ranked more annoying than mine... Congradulations? Um, okay. This is a delicate situation, but personally, I'd be frank with Anne about it. Tell her that Eddie doesn't like her, and that he does like Brooke. (Leave out the part about them making out, unless she still, for some reason, thinks she has a chance. And keep in mind, that this might make her mad at Brooke)... it doesn't sound like Brooke actually wants to officially date Eddie or anything, so, as long as she doesn't do that, there should be no real problem between Anne and Brooke. Anne might get jealous, but it's better for her to be jealous than truly heart broken again. And the longer you don't tell Anne, the more upset she'll be when she finds out.
Anne is probably picking up on the hints already, just refusing to believe them. And if Eddie keeps saying these things about her, then it could be percieved as him flirting. Maybe get Brooke to tell Eddie to stop doing that. Not for him to be mean or anything, just like not say that she's pretty or whatever else... if she asked you what to do when a guy didn't like you back, it pretty much means she's picked up on the fact that Eddie doesn't like her. Even if she gets really hurt or upset when you tell her, it's better now than in the long run... [ VanityScore's advice column | Ask VanityScore A Question ]
SeXy101 answered Sunday May 22 2005, 11:54 am: first off... i think thats the most explain question i have read in here... THANK YOU...
but the best thing to do is to be honest with her. she can't be led on like that because one day the truth will come out and if it lasts much longer she will be depressed beyond what you can emagine. also, you might want to try and talk to eddie about the whole thing, and how it's not a good idea to be saying those great things about her when really he doesn't feel that way. try and get him to lead her on less and less. also, try and get her hooked up with some other guys at the mall or something. don't go with brooke or eddie or your boyfriend, just you, anne, and some guys that she might like. she has to get over him as soon as possible or things could go wrong... she might blame herself for him not liking her and that's never good.
but the best way to tell her this is in person. online or over the phone never works. if she gets mad or upset just look her in the eye and let her know that you just want whats best for her.
last but not least, you are SO right about how it's confusing enough to live. i agree 100%!!!
