My best friend is dating this boy who has been with 23 girls. They've been together for about 6 months. She didn't believe in having premarital sex before she met him. She gave it up to him a few weeks ago. He broke up with her a week later. He started talking to another girl. He begged my friend to keep having sex with him, although they weren't together anymore. She said no. He asked her back out a couple days ago. They started doing it again yesterday. Does it not sound like he's using her? He's this very munipulative type person. It's driving me crazy. Should I tell her how I feel?
Xenolan answered Friday October 6 2006, 1:04 am: She knows exactly what kind of guy he is. She'd have to be emotionally blind not to. And he probably IS using her, but you know what? She's letting herself be used.
Still, you should tell her your thoughts - once. When the s--- hits the fan, you don't want her to be able to say, "You're supposed to be my best friend! Why didn't you say something??" It's also possible that she's inwardly pleading for someone to come along and talk her out of it.
Just don't leave her. I'm not making any judgement calls, but manipulators are sometimes abusers too. Your friend will need her friends. [ Xenolan's advice column | Ask Xenolan A Question ]

You make it pretty obvious that he's using her 0.0 NO GIRL SHOULD TAKE THAT SHIET FROM A BOY. And vice versa. Don't try to go around it, or hinting it only. Tell her directly. The girl deserves to know your point of view and you should tell her to re-think her decisions. >.<

You need to sit down with her and and tell her that he is, and she needs to stop doing this to herself. He's only wanting to get back with her because he wants to get some, and that's all. Let her know you're not trying to hurt her, but you can't stand watching HIM hurt her more. And let her know she deserves a guy when sex doesn't matter, or at least he'll wait as long as it takes because he loves her and respects the decisions and choices she makes in life.
She MIGHT get defensive, but that's only because she likes him and she probably realizes your right, and doesn't want to admit it. If she does, just keep letting her know that he IS using her, she just doesn't know it and I mean, he's been with 23 girls for petes sakes, and if that doesn't hint off as a player, then I don't know WHAT does.

It may not do any good but you will feel better and maybe, just maybe she will hear you. If she doesn't at least you tried. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
