how do you deal with crazy friends?
right now i am going out with a guy that one of my best friends dated, and i mean DATED. i started to like him like months before i told her, before i really told anyone because he is one of my close friends too. they dated for a year and a half and broke it off this past june. at the end of november he had a short relationship with another girl but that didn't work out. when i had a really good feeling that something was going to happen between us i told her and she told me that i was crazy for being afraid to tell her before, but she was really cranky and jealous over his last girlfriend, i it's think because she broke up with him and hasn't dated since. but now we date and it's only been for 2 weeks now and all i have gotten from her are dirty looks, whispers to friends and mean comments about him. what can i do to get her to stop acting the way that she said she wouldn't act in the first place?

If they went out for a year & a half, I don't think it was the best thing to go out with him in the first place because she would still like him after that long time. Even if you asked if it was okay, your friend will never be okay with it. I'd be heart broken if my close friend did that to me. If you care about your friend more than the guy then you need to dump him & tell her how sorry you are & try to fix your friendship,but if you pick the guy over your friend, than your friendship with her is gone.

Imperialistic answered Thursday December 29 2005, 1:05 am: First of all, obviously, your friend still cares a lot. They went out for a year and a half! She'll never admit it though because why would she want to look desperate enough to care about her ex-boyfriend's girlfriends?
You should never have to ask your friend if it's ok for you to go out with her ex because the no is a given. If they went out for more than a year, it's practically a sin to date him. Even if she found a boyfriend, it will still be a really sticky situation and it's going to be even after you break up with this guy. The damage is already done but you need to start repairing it immediately. I hate to tell you this but, you'll need to say bye bye to the guy or they kiss your friendship farewell. You know the rule, chicks before dicks.
Sorry. Good luck <33 [ Imperialistic's advice column | Ask Imperialistic A Question ]
