Heyy.
My names Hailey. I have a problem, I like this kid in my grade.. let's call him Joey. Well, Joey is in one of my classes and he talks to me alot but I don't know if he really likes me or just thinks of me as a friend. Like, i'll be sitting alone with no one around me and he just comes over to me.. sits down.. and talks to me. I get really happy when he does that, but I found out he likes my best friend. It sucks, I know. Everytime i like someone, he likes my best friend. This has happened about five times already (within the last year). So many guys like her, it just makes me so mad. I'll admitt, im jealous.. but who wouldn't be? The worst part about it is my friend acts like she doesn't even care. They are in one clas together and she's not a slut or anything but whenever guys are all over her, she's too nice to say go away so she'll be all over that guy too.. and i'm afraid thats what happens everyday in their class, I wouldn't know cause im not there but I know they talk alot because she sits behind him. My question is, what should I do to get him to like me? And should I be mad at my best friend for not even caring? This probably sounds harsh and unfair but I've been acting really weird around her lately because I just get so mad that she gets everything she wants.. I like him so much & I can't take it when he talks about her.. it makes me extremely jealous. Am I wrong by not talking to her as much? Help please.
I think in a small way you are being unfair on your friend. It's not her fault that all the guys seem to like her really and it's even worse that she won't stand up for herself and tell guys to back off.
You could always try help her on that part so she can stand up for herself so if he has people all over her who she doesn't want all over her she can tellthem to back off of her. It's something everyone needs to be able to do or they will forever just get stepped all over.
Jealousy is a dangerous thing and your situation is a prime example of how it can come in between two friends. I don't think any guy is worth loosing a friend over no matter how amazing that guy might seem. I know everyone says there's plenty fish in the sea but the truth is there really is a lot out there and just when you start to think you won't find anyone better, you do.
As for getting this Joey to like you - you can't force anyone to like you. I'm afraid it doesn't work that way. If it did work that way then everyone out there would be happy and with someone they really want to be with. It's just not how the heart works. If he doesn't like you in that way then it will have to be something you may just have to accept. [ ammo's advice column | Ask ammo A Question ]
