How can I help my friend?


Question Posted Friday August 11 2006, 6:23 pm

Ok my friend (who is a guy, and I am a girl) just broke up with his girlfriend, who is another friend of mine. And ever since the break up My guy friend and me have been spending a lot of time together...while the his ex is moving on with other guys(if you know what i mean) I think he is using me as a way of not to deal with the pain. I feel so bad for him because I can see how much he is hurting and everytime I bring her up he changes the subject. I don't want to push...but i want to help him get over it. How can i do that? If you look at him you can tell he is in pain...just he trys to cover it up. I don't want him to know that I know he is in pain. So what should I do? Any help would be amzing!

I'm sorry if this seems a little harsh, but he needs to get over his pain the quickest way, which would be to leave him alone. If you're easing his pain, it's going to last longer than needed. Give him some time to himself. Hope I helped!

If I was you, I just wouldn't bring it up for awhile. Because if he keeps changing the subject or looks really hurt everytime you mention it, it's not really helping the situation anymore. So just hang out with him, be there for him, be his friend. Just do alot of acitivites and watch movies and go to the mall or wherever and just get his mind off of her. Maybe even have some you and your friends and him all hang out together, so he could meet even more people and maybe even meet a new crush. But also, just let him know you're there for him if he ever DOES want to talk about it, just so he knows it's an option and that you care. And if he's ready to talk, he will. I hope I helped. <3 :]

i think you should try talking to him about it. juss randomly i guess. you're right-- he should move on. maybe hang out with him at different places where he can meet new people. if he's truly hurt when you talk to him about it, drop it & start a new conversation. maybe the less he thinks about her, the better he will feel. if he meets new girls & becomes friends with them, there's a good chance he'll start liking them or would want to get to know them better.

-hope that helped!&hearts;
