so my best friend in the entire world likes this big jerk. he's a nice guy sometimes but then he can be a total loser. so when shes mad at him he'll be nice to her and she'll automatically like him again. its so annoying because how can someonebe so mean to you and then you keep liking them? how can i tell her this is happening without actually saying that and hurting her feelings...?
devilspawn_666 answered Tuesday May 23 2006, 9:09 pm: This kind of thing happens all the time, unfortunatly. Girls tend to fall for guys that treat them like crap... It's happened to me, so I can relate. Just the fact that the guy makes himself unavailable is what makes him so attractive to her. There's not much you can do. Your friend needs to realize that this guy's a jerk on her own. Nothing you say or do can remove him from his pedastal, in her mind. As long as things don't go towards the abusive side, it'd be better just not to say anything. [ devilspawn_666's advice column | Ask devilspawn_666 A Question ]
LJ answered Tuesday May 23 2006, 8:50 pm: unfortunately in this kind of case there's no such thing as telling without hurting her feelings. If she really likes him she'll stay that way until he really messes up with her. Then she'll leave him. You can do two things in this case. Either smash her heart into pieces and cut her off of a bad boyfriend, or you can try to have her talk to her boyfriend (best if you're there too) and work things out. Compromise a little. At this point that's the best you can do unless you wanna sit and wait for things to unravel. [ LJ's advice column | Ask LJ A Question ]
bound_heart answered Tuesday May 23 2006, 7:57 pm: It makes little sense to me, but sometimes girls just like guys that treat them like crap. She will have to learn, on her own, that he's not the best for her. Until she sees that for herself, there's nothing you can do. All you can really do if you want to keep your friend as your friend is be there for her when he hurts her.

I think as a friend you should let your friend know that you think she deserves better than what shes bargaining for. [ careless-fun's advice column | Ask careless-fun A Question ]
KrisxOx answered Tuesday May 23 2006, 6:55 pm: well if i were you i would just say to her boyfriend that you better stop being mean to her or i will tell her and i guarantee he will stop if he really lieks her. [ KrisxOx's advice column | Ask KrisxOx A Question ]
