i have a boyfriend, lets call him [ X ] and my bestfriend is telling me she really likes this other guy, lets call him [ A ]. but everytime i'm hanging out with my bf X and my bestfriend, she's always flirting with him. and i think she might like him, but i dunno how to tell her to just stop w/o hurting her feelings.
anyone have any advice for a nice way to say "stop flirting with my bf!"
xogiggles37xo answered Saturday June 17 2006, 11:07 pm: maybe tell her you have to talk to her about her and your bf.. then when it comes time to say it tell her how if you say it it might come out wrong and you dont want her getting mad. then blurt it whatever which way it comes out of your head and if she happens to get mad or offended by it.. you at least tried. :/ hope i helped.

You never know, she might be unconciously flirting with him and in reality, have no feelings for him whatsoever. However, her behaviour is making you uncomfortable, so you need to take her aside and explain to her how the way she's acting is making her feel.
i.e "Ashley, I've been kind of noticing that when X, you, and I all hang out together you start to flrit with him. To be honest with you, it makes me really uncomfortable."
She's your best friend, she should understand.
As someone else already said, telling your feelings to your boyfriend could only help. Chances are he either feels the same way as you, or doesnt even notice, or care, that shes doing this.

"Hey, do u still like [A]? *wait for answer* Well it just seems like lately you have been flirting with [X] a lot. I am not really comfortable with it and it has been bothering me. I mean he is my boyfriend. Please stop flirting with him."
this will probably work and your friend will understand.

Then you say 'Well it seems like you are always flirting with X and it kind of bothers me'. Tell him that it bothers you too so he won't flirt back with her. You kind of have to be straight forward with these things or else she won't know what she is doing is wrong. [ xxoBriannax's advice column | Ask xxoBriannax A Question ]

karenR answered Thursday June 15 2006, 7:02 pm: Some things you just have to come right out and say. "stop flirting with my boyfriend" (or girlfriend) is one of those things.
Just politely let her know that you don't approve
and she needs to stop. If she doesn't then don't hang around with her while you are with your boyfriend.
