caden answered Friday October 28 2005, 3:42 pm: You should introduce the new friend and the friend your mad at and ask if they could both sit together with you. and if that doesent work, sit with the friend your mad at and ask your new friend for his phone# so you can invite him to hang out with you or vice versa. Hope this helps&heats; [ caden's advice column | Ask caden A Question ]

Yeah, that's a really good idea. The guy won't think you don't like him BUT he might think you're being petty or silly...and you don't want that.
How about letting the guy sit in the middle? On the other hand, he might actually feel 'in the middle' and get awkward. I think the best thing would be to say something along the lines of 'look, *name*, I'm not gettong on so great with *name* at the moment so I'm gonna sit over there with *name* for a bit while she cools down. I'm still friends with you so please keep talking to me, but don't feel like I'm forcing you to take sides'. That way you will seem the grown-up one, you won't look petty and he won't think you hate him or anything.

your friend,

Sometimes it's easier to seethe in silence when someone makes you cringe, but that doesn't solve the issue. If anything, bottling up your feelings like this just makes the problem seem worse. It means you risk a situation where your mate steps just slightly out of line once more and you explode right in front of them - which doesn't solve anything.
Whatever your mate has done to make you feel so awkward, it's always wise to pick a good time to talk - preferably when you're feeling calm and there's nobody else around to chip in or stir things up for you.
Your aim here is to encourage this person to think about things from your point of view, without leaving them feeling shame-faced. If your mate can see the upset they've caused for themselves, they'll be more likely to change their behaviour.
Nobody likes to feel as if they're being attacked, or that somehow they have to defend their actions, so don't lay into them - it'll only risk a fistfight (or that slappy-scrap thing girls do sometimes).
You can't expect them to shape up straight away, especially if you're both feeling a bit self-conscious after getting things out in the open. Instead, give them some time and space to process the problem and act upon it. If they value your friendship, you should see a new improved mate in no time.

I guess it all comes down to who's more important to you. You could even just talk to the guy about why you're sitting somewhere else. I'm sure he'll understand. But i doubt you would be happy with some guy if you knew your friend was kinda angry. That's my opinion but whatever you do, good luck!!!
