I have this friend that's a boy (i'm a grl) and i've liked him since the day i met him. We're now best friends and do everything together on the weekends and whenever we have spare time. He has a gf and talks about marrying her (even tho he's only 13), and i try to be a supportive friend, but really he's just ripping my heart out. I've tried to drop hints that i like him but i know how he gets when ppl tell him that they like him when he already has a gf...it's not a good site. I guess i just want a way where i don't have to listen to the full on details of his relationship w/ his gf cuz it really does kill me inside. thanx 4 the help

My best friend was a guy who I liked from even before we were friends. The thing is, he had a girlfriend at home and the farthest we got was hugging. If he is really your close friend, tell him honestly how you're having guy problems right now and would prefer not to hear about his girlfriend. If he asks you to tell him, just say you don't want to talk about it. Once he cools down a little bit on the whole girlfriend thing, call him and tell him you want to hang out "just the 2 of us." Then don't make any moves or anything, but keep dropping subtle hints like that. Good luck! [ actresschica's advice column | Ask actresschica A Question ]

Let him know that it hurts to always hearing these things and that you wish you had someone to be with so you could tell him your love life. Hopefully he'll know that he shouldn't tell you everything. Try to move on, but still be there for him. Hope this helps!
sillyrob answered Saturday October 1 2005, 2:23 am: Explain to him that you do not like hearing these details. If he really is a good friend, he will stop. You should also try and avoid hinting at him with the motive of him leaving her for you. If things were meant to be you guys will end up together.

MummuM answered Saturday October 1 2005, 12:53 am: Since you're his best friend, he's always going to be telling you everything about his relationship. That is what best friends do, they tell eachother everything. If you tell him you don't feel like hearing about his relationship with this girl anymore, it might hurt him. He might feel like you don't care about anything he says to you anymore. You know what I mean? But if you're really getting annoyed by him talking about her, just try to change the subject. When he starts talking about her, you could be like "oh, there's something that happened today and it was really funny", or "I have to tell you something that happened today". Stuff like that. Just change the subject. Don't come right out and tell him you don't want to hear about this relationship anymore. Because you never know, he may take it the wrong way.
