Me, My best friend, and her boyfriend


Question Posted Monday May 15 2006, 9:29 pm

This girl who's my best friend recently broke up with her bf. I found out a few days later from another friend that she really likes me(i'm a guy btw). Well, I like her too, but I don't think I like her as much as she likes me. Now, her bf is kinda...how can I say this-madly crazy over her, and when they broke up he started doing some crazy things, like cutting. Well, she decided to get back together with him out of pity, but she admits that she doesn't love him like she used too, and she would much rather be with me. But, I'm really not that into her enough to be in a serious relationship. However, I really don't want to see my friend with her bf 'cause I don't think he's really the best guy for her, so I decided to take a chance and pretend to like her as much as she likes me. This totally complicates things even more, i know, but it was the only thing i could think of to keep her away from him. Now she doesn't know what to do, and I don't know what to do. I know this is just typical high-school drama for most of you, but I(we) really need your feedback on this.

ok yur friend should tottaly not be goin out with that guy if he cutts himself after having someone brake up with him he is not safe. Tell your friend to just try and brake it of with him but have her still be friends so they are still talki and all that. for you you need to tell her the truth tell her you don't want to get involved because you guys are such good friends and you don't want to throw that away for like a few months of dating.if you do go out wit her then just say even if we brake up i still want to be as good as friends as we were before mabey you should go out wit her and give her a chance ??? hope i helped

Wow, that's just amazingly complicated... no offense, but yes, I think it is. Well, the problem is, you're dealing with a girl. You never know what's in store. It's a good thing that you try to draw her away from that boy, so that he won't give her any bad influence, you're such a precious friend. And that's the point, you're a precious friend, and no more than that, isn't it what you want? Just tell her that you want the best for her, that you don't want her to go out with someone who's not good and someone who doesn't love her back (which is you) Spending more time with her to keep her away from that boy is a good thing, as friends. Don't worry, I've been in that girl's position before. I really hope I've helped... it seems to me like it means a lot to you... I really wish I've helped.
Wish you always the best luck. ^_^

If you know for sure that you don't want anything more with your best friend, then don't get with her just so she'll stay away from her ex-boyfriend. She has to learn to make decisions like that for herself and all you can do is tell her to stop seeing him even when she doesn't do it. When she comes to you for advice, tell her that all you can tell her is to leave him for good.

If she knows for sure that this ex-boyfriend is hurting himself over her, then she needs to let his parents know or someone that can help him. You're right when you say that he is not the best guy for your friend, but she has to decide that for herself.

It's hard for girls to know what they want. Especially when it comes down to guys. Usually they know what they want, but they can't go with what they want because they are scared of hurting the other person. Personallym, I don't think you like this girl. There is a difference between caring for someone and "liking" someone. Caring for someone could be a "sibling" kinda thing... and seeing that she's your best friend I can say that you don't want her to go out with that guy because u really don't think that guy is a good guy. THat happened to one of my friends. Where she did not like her best friend but she did not want him to be with his girlfriend since it separated their friendship. Guys are usually more drawn to their gfs so he spent less time with her. However, she does not like him in that way. I think you know what the answer is... if you're a true friend regardless of what ur friend's choice is on bfs.. you would support her. If you really like her.. then there's no need for the word to "pretend to like her" because it should come naturally. FIrst you need to decide if you really want to be with her. If you truly like her... not because she likes you a lot... but because you like HER.
