Best friend and Ex-Boyfriend


Question Posted Tuesday December 27 2005, 1:28 pm

My name is Alex, I am a female, and I’m thirteen years old.

Well I have this friend I knew since the 5th grade, and now we are in the 8th grade, and she has changed, a lot. And she has been telling me I changed but I think it's the opposite, she's changed! She has gotten meaner than ever since Elementary school. Anyways, the day before a dance at our school, I told her that I like a guy that she knows & that is in every single one of her classes. May I add, he is also my ex-boyfriend. But then when the dance came, she started dancing with the guy I like. I got pretty mad, after all, she knows I like him and she just dances with him in front of me! I don’t know what to do, I am not going out with the guy, but I like him. But then I don’t want to ruin our friendship over a guy. But I really like this guy though. Please Help!

I would imagine you have both changed over the years. You will do more changing before its over with too!

Have you talked with her since the dance? Have you asked her what she was up to? If not then I think you should.

I know you like this guy. But, if he isn't asking you to dance or hanging out with you then he may not feel the same way you do. If he doesn't, then you really haven't lost anything.

You can be upset, anyone would be, but don't let it ruin a friendship. If he really likes you, whatever she does will not make a difference. It probably wasn't the nicest thing in the world for her to dance with him in front of you, but, she really didn't do anything wrong either.

Talk to her. :)

Well, since she's being a bitch, fight fire with water! Cause water puts it out. I don't know why people say fight fire with fire, Anyway, back to your problem. I know you don't want to ruin your friendship and you like the guy, she's just trying to make you jealous so, she doesn't like the guy, she just wants him to like her so you can't have him. Alex, you best make a move before she gets him. This sounds real twisted I know. She's your friend, but why isn't she acting like it. Talk to her and if she's like, "Your the problem!" Drop her like a bad habit. Like dropping a bad habit, it'll be hard, but if she's acting like this, is she even worth it?



Good luck!

You wouldn't be ruining the friendship over a guy. This is just the catalyst- the thing that's pushing it over the edge. It's been building up to this point, as you've said she's just become meaner over the years. Try hanging out with some new people for a while. Don't put up with her crap just because you feel obligated to, or you'll never have any fun, and that's an important thing to do!:)

That is a perfect example of a friend gone bad. I advise you to spend time with other people and give your friend some time. I have had friends like that, and you just have to either a:lay off for a little bit, but don't act like her, (That will make the problem worse.) or b:talk to your friend about this situation. Oh, and about the guy you like. Just go for it. If you do ask him out, then your friend will probably stop bothering you.

aww im sorry hun! we all go through this problem sooner or later. girls are bitches haha! they are seriously so backstabbing. you have to talk to your friend about it, either in person or on the phone. If things just get worse then i would say you need to find a true friend. nobody deserves a friend that does that to you. i had the same problem my friend changed so much and guess what? we arent friends anymore, i was a little upset about it but i knew it was for the best. try making more guy friends, they wont do that to you, they dont cause so much drama as girls do! well hope i helped sweetie. let me know how it goes and if you need anything else just let me know!

yeah i kinda went through the same thing with my friend dont worry<3
basically it could be something like.. she did it to make you upset because she wants to prove that you are changing. yeah it sounds really weird but thats what happened with me! the best way to solve this is definitly over the phone - not online ..it just leads to someone copying it and pasting it to someone else! good luck and if she refuses to change then its not your problem anymore its hers! =] xO

sometimes a dance is just a dance, but that dosent mean that she had the right to dance with him when she knows you like him and would be upset,mabey you 2 are just growing apart, its really hard to let friendship go sometimes, but that might be what you have to do, if you dont feel like she respects you enough to not dance with the guy you like and respect you in other ways, then you shouldnt be friends anymore

well if she has changed and you dont like what she has changed into i think you should leave her and find yourself a ture friend that wont do stuff like that right infront of you.
