A month or so ago there was a school dance. My friend Tiff was supposed to go with our friend Potter but he found out he had to work a few weeks before the dance, so she found a new date. She told me that she didn't like him as more than a friend and wasn't going to go all out for him anyway, so it didn't matter. i didn't have a date. the day of the dance, my group went to walmart to hang out before the dance and Potter was working. We're all friends with him, so we went over to talk to him and found out he was off work at 9 (30 min after the dance started) so i asked him to come be my date and he said he would. I've had a low level crush on Potter for a few years now, and Tiff knows that. She got mad at me when he came and was my date, because after she told me she wasn't interested, she changed her mind and didn't tell me. I really like him, and she knows that, but she's been asking him out a lot and bragging about going on dates with him, even though she tells me that she's more interested in this other guy right now and I don't know if he's saying yes toher because he likes her or because he's too nice to say no (either is possible) and I don't want to make her mad at me even though I like him a lot. What should I do? 17/f
Ask Potter if he likes Tiff as more than a friend, chances are he doesn't. (If he does, well, say goodbye.) If he's okay with it, have him tell her that he only likes her as a friend- tell him to make it glaringly obvious. Let him know that you like it and that Tiff is only really using him to compete with you (it sounds like she is) and he should be happy to do it.
Your other choice is to tell Tiff to lay off, but I doubt that'll work and she'll probably get mad. Chances are she's still mad that he went with you to the dance instead of her. [ xokristabelle's advice column | Ask xokristabelle A Question ]
