Every day I'd look at my best gal pal and she'd always be in lala land thinking about her boyfriend. They've been going out for a year, 1 month, and 3 days (i know it's weird how i know that, but she acctually counts the days and tells me)! We used to be so close to eachother, but now she's not that much of a best friend to me. sure she can be a friend to me and everyone else, but she doesn't gve me that much of a BEST FRIEND kind of feeling. I want to be there for her like she was there for me on those lowscale terms, but i just can't take it! She told me her boyfriend was moving on the last day of school but i don't know if i can be there for her, or if i should even be there for her at all. what am i supposed to do?

Best friend with a boyfriend, she's not always there anymore. I understand, but you have to remember.. she's your best friend. Before her boyfriend came along, she was there for you for (im guessing) alot of things. She was the one you ran to for everything and vice verca. Be there for her. If you are there for her when he leaves maybe she'll come to relize that you are a true friend and you might just get that old friendship back that you had before she spent alot of time with him. Best friends are sopose to be there for you. You being her best friend (even if it may not seem like it) have, in a way, a job to full.

If she has, why would you ditch her when she's in need of your care & encouragement? When she needs you, be there for her; and when you need her, she'll be there for you.

She obviously seems really connected with her bf & attached to him. Therefore, him moving will be a huge issue in her life & will need help. If you can talk to her & help her out, she'll feel better & will know that she has someone there for her other than her boyfriend. A lot of girls get extremely clingy with their bfs because they think that he loves them way more than anyone else. Unfortunately, this isn't the case all the time. Whether she knows it right now or not, she probably needs you as a best friend also. If this situation was reversed, you wouldn't want your friend to ditch you. Talk to her about it. There's nothing wrong with letting her know that you don't feel as good of a friend to her anymore. If you really do not want to be her friend, you have to tell her also.
