Question Posted Wednesday November 1 2006, 5:49 pm
My friend, Rachel, who just happens to be my boyfriend, Dane's, ex girlfriend is always trying things with him! I catch her gazing at him during band all the time and she always laughs when he says something funny, and she's always talking to him and trying to make him laugh. She even told him, "Dane, you know you still love me..." And she said it to him when I was right next to her! I can't believe her!
I didn't do anything, I just pretended like I didn't care. It's impossible for me to tell her to back off, but she needs to learn that he's with me now. I don't know what to do. I think I'm just going to ask Dane if he still likes her, and if he says no, (which he better! lol) I'll tell Rach that I asked him that and that he said no.

Ask him if the next time she tries anything like this, can he please just explain to her,"I'm with ____ now, and you know that. Sorry."
Also, another thing to do which might show her "hey, he's with me now" and get her to back off, and make it a little fun for you and make her jealous all at the same time, is just whenever you're with him and she tries this stuff, pay him extra attention in front of her face. Maybe give him a kiss on the lips or hold onto his arm and rest your head on his shoulder or hold his hands and hug him and just look at her with a look that gives her the message "he's minnnnnnnneeee :)". Then she'll get annoyed and hopefully back off.
