friends, ex-boyfriendS.. sorry this is long&confusing
Question Posted Monday March 19 2007, 6:04 pm
okay well i'm just going to make up names before i start.
alyssa and rob are dating.
dana and nick are dating.
rick is my ex boyfriend who i dated for a year and a half.
alex is my ex boyfriend who i recently broke up with.
oh and i'm 13/f by the way
okay well here it goes. after a year and a half of dating rick, on and off because he broke up with me 6 times during then but whatever, i broke up with him and to get him jealous, i went out with alex also because i though he was nice and cute. well me and alex dated for about 5 months exactly the day we broke up. alex and i used to always hang out with our best friends/couples. (alyssa, rob, dana, and nick). so once i broke up with alex because i really missed rick, alex was reallyyy upset and for awhile was always telling me how much he loved me and missed me and crying all the time and stuff. then i found out that rick never stopped liking me since the day we broke up. so me and him would hang out occasionaly and stuff but then the next thing i know alyssa, rob, and dana are all super pissed at me and telling me that i was leading alex AND rick on becuase they both thought they would get me in the end even though i told alex i didn't want to date anymore and stuff. well as of yesterday(2 or 3 weeks after alex and i broke up) i told rick i wanted to go out becuase he had been telling me he wanted to really bad and stuff. but alyssa and dana and rob would all rather hang out with alex than me it seems. yeah occasionally they'll invite me to hang out, knowing i really don't want to hang with alex just yet, and so i'll agree to it and then the next thing i know alex is hanging out too. its like he stole all my friends from me and i don't know what to do. i'm really happy to be back with rick again, but i want my friends back. and its hard because i'm already in this down and depressed mood lately because i HATE my dad and stuff and i have no one really to cheer me up. all my best friends would rather alex over me and all my other friends don't call me or anything. my dad was recently arrested, and is back on herion and cannot afford anything anymore. yes my parents are divorced but he lives about a mile down the street. and my mom is getting married but they're always fighting. and i just don't know what to do anymore. i'm going to a different school next year to hopefully start off fresh and if that doesn't work were moving down south to south carolina from massachusetts. please, some advice on what to do to be somewhat more happier please!

Your friends probably like the person you are with Alex, rather than with Rick. A girl's friends approval is very important. You are super young though, go with who you really like as a person and as a friend(the best couples are always best friends too!)Rick seems like the cool, rough, bad, hot guy and Alex seems like the sweet, cute caring guy. Your friends don't want to see you hurt. Choose who you want, but do want to risk losing 4BFFs and a good guy for a bad guy you probably wont be with forever? Remember-Friends are Forever
Boys are whatever.
I don't think your friends care if you get back with Alex, they just don't want you with Rick. Think about what guy makes you a better person and then the rest of your priorities will com in line. You seem like you aren't willing to risk it all "for love" so I'd focus on friends, not guys. [ ElenaHilton's advice column | Ask ElenaHilton A Question ]
