Okay, so there's this girl I really like (E), and this other girl (B) my best friend likes. My friend really loves B, he's told me a million times, and he's loved her for a really long time. I've loved E for a long time, not as much time as my friend has liked B, but still pretty long. Ever since I told my friend I love E, he's been nicer and nicer to her. Which I wouldn't mind if it was just the friendly type of niceness, but it's not. It's the "gotta crush on ya" type of niceness. I've asked him about this, and he says he's treating her exactly the same as he always has, but I've noticed a difference. I just am really confused. Do friends normally do these kind of things?
Thanks,
-Fyce

SWEETXLOVE answered Saturday August 26 2006, 9:10 pm: YES! all the time this happens with my friends. like my good friend nikki likes this kid and she tells our other friend mandi. well when we all hangout mandi always flirts and like trys to get all the attention from this guy and nikki gets really mad about it! i dont really know why they do this? especially in your situation because he already loves B. and some people just flirt and dont even know it! like my brother and his girlfriend and his friends. we were all out somewhere and my brothers good friend joe would flirt with my brothers girlfriend and everyone could see it but then my brother was thinking what the hell is going on? and he like asked his girlfriend if he liked joe but she said no and he also confronted joe about it and said he didnt like her! just try to get her attention and tell your friend to just kinda back off a little bit. or you could ask E what she thinks about your friend and if she doesnt have any feelings towards him or doesnt find him attractive then you know you dont have anything to worry about! also tell your friend to keep his attention on B.
contradictionn answered Saturday August 26 2006, 2:02 pm: Especially in your guys' male, "I can do it better" life style, he might be doing it just to get a reaction out of you and seem better.
But you have to jump back and act sweet and nice to this girl, get her to notice you. [ contradictionn's advice column | Ask contradictionn A Question ]
orphans answered Friday August 25 2006, 11:38 pm: Yes, friends do it. Here's an example.
Down the street, my best friend has an older brother. His ex-girlfriend's friend began to see my best friend's brother. All and All, my best friend's brother went out with his ex-gilfriend's best friend. Trader, I think.
Guys are like that, and girls too. He might like (E) and (B). If that happens, you become jealous, like the guy I like, someone likes him too and she's actually my friend.
Talk to your friend and if he's a good friend, he'll tell you the truth. The thing, just wait until it happens. I have nothing to say except try to talk to your friend and figure out what is he actually doing.
Sorry! :S [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
MelLeDisko answered Friday August 25 2006, 1:54 pm: Sometimes this happens between friends. Whenever one friend mentions about another girl and how awseome and stuff they are to them, they'll start to take notice of her, and sometimes crush feelings can catch on. And also, sometimes between best friends, there can be a feeling to compete, I don't know why. Sometimes whenever me and my best friend see a guy we like, we'll always compete for him. I guess its to show whose the better of the best friends? I have no idea why it happens, but like I said, sometimes it just does. I would either try doing the same thing to B and see how he reacts. If you notice him getting jealous, just mention it to him or see if he takls to you about it, and then I would just be like,"Oh, like how you're doing with E?" and then talk to him about it. Or, just flat-out ask him about it. Be like,"I know you say you're acting towards E like you always do, but lately I've noticed it's been different, even though you don't think it is. Now, you know I love her and everything, and I wouldn't do that to B because I know you've loved her since forever." Or I would just do what I highly suggest you SHOULD do: make your move. Compliment her, make her laugh, be nice, flirt a little, then maybe flirt a little more and see if she flirts back. And just try and get her attention. And then maybe after awhile, ask her if she wants to hang out sometime soon and catch a movie or something. :] I hope I helped. <3 [ MelLeDisko's advice column | Ask MelLeDisko A Question ]
HeavensAngel01 answered Friday August 25 2006, 12:11 pm: well the thing is maybe i think your friend wants to compete with you because maybe he wants something he can't have. the thing is you have to talk to him if he still says the same tell him if that is true try to make her go out wit me let me know if she likes me...or do what he's doing to your crush and if he starts chowing he is jelouse then you tell him see i knew it you like her..you got to get inside his brain see whats gong on! hope that helps =) [ HeavensAngel01's advice column | Ask HeavensAngel01 A Question ]
