Question Posted Saturday December 31 2005, 11:27 pm
Ever since Steve and Haley have been going out (1 1/2 months ago) I've been comparing myself to Haley a lot. By the way Steve is the guy I'm like in LOVE with... and Haley's one of my best friends. I think I'm wayyy prettier than her, but I can't help but compare myself to her. I know its bad but idk what to do. PLEASE HELP ME! Your advice is great!

Well, I saw that you left me another question and I'll answer it after this. Comparing yourself to one of your best friends, it's human nature and everyone does it. But that's not that bad part. What I think is the bad part is that you think he went for looks. Or maybe he's just attracted to her more than you. Sorry, not trying to hurt your feelings or critisize you but that's what I think is bad. But now, the solution. That sounds so formal, anyway the answer to this problem. I compare myself to my best friend all the time. But I think she's way prettier than I am. It's kind of oppisite but I know what you're getting at because I do that too. I'll tell you about my little problem first, don't worry it won't take long, maybe you'll learn something from it. Well, I've liked this guy since March and I went out with him for like 2 weeks and then he broke up with me because he was too 'busy'. When school started back, I found out he was in my 2 longest classes and a regular one. I was so happy because this was what I was praying for because I still liked him. But, he fell for my best friend, and they recently broke up, but only for 2 days, her mom died so I don't know why he did. He sees her everyday and I guess he couldn't bear it. I still like him, but I haven't seen him for two weeks so I think I lost intrest. Yeah, my story sucks but as much as you may be in love with him, you're only setting yourself up to get hurt. Atleast that's what I think. And if you love him so much that you are willing to hurt your best friend ((one of them anyway)) and hurt yourself eventually then I say go for him. But, some guys aren't just worth all that trouble and drama. And I know this may not be the best advice I've ever given, it's probably the longest advice I given though. In my story, I told my best friend I liked her boyfriend she got extremely mad and now we hardly ever talk anymore and I was really sad because I'm moving this year. But either you get over him or, still love him, but also like other people because you gotta kill sometime waiting for him like I know you'll probably do. Because that's what I did. I've turned down decent guys waiting for him which I now know what stupid because I know he'll never want me now. So to sum everything up, you can either wait, wait and still like other people, or just move on. It sounds alot better with all that extra crap up there, and I know I got a little tad bit off, but if you trust my advice and see all the 5's I've got from other people ((not to brag, I gotta 1 because I said to some girl I thought her smiley was cool and I didn't answer her questions...oopsy! lol))
