xxblue0eyesxx answered Sunday July 17 2005, 10:41 pm: Ive been in the exact same situation as you. Same excuse too "My grandma bought it for me." Thats exactly what my friend said to me. I know what you mean about not wanting to hurt her feelings. Of course you wont want to acuse her of stealing but you have to. This happened to me with the same person on several occasions. If you see it in her room then make sure shes looking and just pick it up and like fold it and just hang on to it. If she asks what youre doing, just say "Oh, its mine. Remember I let you borrow it? You must have forgetten to give it back so Im just gonna bring it home. Ive been wanting to wear it for a while." If she refuses, just tell her that its definitely yours. Say, this is too old a model for your grandma to have bought it for you recently. I dont want to acuse you of stealing it, or keeping it from me, but I know its mine. Then walk out, and go home. Dont let her get it from you. Unfortunately, in my case, I didnt get the shirt back. She had stolen it out of my house. When i confronter her about it, I asked to see the reciept because she said she had it. A week later she was like "I cant find the receipt." So we just ended up being in a fight for a long time. Im sorry about your shirt and I hope you get it back. If its yours, then you deserve to have it and not worry about your friend never giving it back. Just dont let her borrow your clothes anymore. If what I said doesnt work, then have your mom talk to her mom. You should be able to work it out and get it back. Good luck!

But if you don't wanna do that, then I would just sit there and be like," Well I think that might be my shirt, because I left mine over here." And then see the shirt size too for proof because if you guys aren't the same shirt size, then you'll be able to show her it's yours. IM me some more if you want to talk!!
orphans answered Friday July 15 2005, 5:35 pm: just ask for it back, say thats my shirt and i left it at your house its really special to me cud you plz give it bak, and if she wont take it and run as fast as you possibly can! no just kidding dont do that just tell ur parents or just tell her wat you wrote in your question that it was a lie and you kno it and you want your shirt bak.
YourFabulous answered Friday July 15 2005, 2:30 am: Ohh jeeze, I would just say "Well I think that's the shirt I left here & I want it back." If she's really your friend she will be like "Oh my bad I thought it was mine." Or somethin like that, but if she gets bitchy & it's realllllly important then you gotta get into the parents. Which sucks, but hey do you really want the shirt that bad? Hope it works out =)

cutie4u1212 answered Thursday July 14 2005, 11:56 pm: ive been in the same situation as you. Your friend is going to deny that its your shirt so you would be better off not saying anything. However if this isnt the first time its happened i suggest that you find some new friends! other then that its just a shirt but take a second look and see if you really want a friend like this because not only did she lie to you but most likely you lost her trust.

x0xMrSm answered Thursday July 14 2005, 10:23 pm: just simply and casually talk to her online about it. be like...oh my god remember that shirt i had that had like _______________ (describe the shirt)...and then she'll be like, yeah/oh yeah, i have it i forgot...and if she just says "yeah" then be like, oh yeah i remember where it is, lol, i lent it to you...do you have it? just sound natural and friendly.
good luck. hope i helped. [ x0xMrSm's advice column | Ask x0xMrSm A Question ]
shake answered Thursday July 14 2005, 8:31 pm: Hahaha. You don't want to hurt her feelings? When she did the wrong thing? Punch her in the ovaries if you ask me. Then take the shirt and walk out. [ shake's advice column | Ask shake A Question ]

xoBrowneyes answered Thursday July 14 2005, 7:52 pm: tell her or take it when she is not looking if she sees you wearing that shirt and doesn't know you took it make sure you wear it a few weeks after you get it back to make sure she doens't think you took it just tell her you liked the shirt soooo much that you went and had your mom get you one!

Xo_Bunny_oX answered Thursday July 14 2005, 7:47 pm: I think you should tell her that you left the same shirt at her house and if she's seen it or not. If she lies, say "Are you serious?? I thought they didn't sell that model anymore!!" Or something.
M0STD3SiiR3D answered Thursday July 14 2005, 7:47 pm: Be slick right on back. just one day when you're talking to her be like, "heyy do u still have that shirt i left over here a while ago, cause i kinda need it back" and she`ll probably just give it back to you. [ M0STD3SiiR3D's advice column | Ask M0STD3SiiR3D A Question ]
i think that you should confront ur friend and tell her that they dont sell that model anywhere anymore because its old. you should just tell her that you used to have the same one until you left it over there. it shouldnt hurt her feelings and if it does tell her ur sorry but shes lying.
Me_Help_You answered Thursday July 14 2005, 7:33 pm: The next time you're at her house. Simply ask her "Oh yeah, I need the shirt that you borrowed from me back" and if she pulls back easily she'll give it back to you.
