i met this girl [jen] on wednessday at school. we started talking and i thought that she was pretty cool right away. we went to the mall on friday with some other ppl and it was fun. the problem is that she wants to be BFF's when ive only known her for like 5 days!!! i have other friends that ive known for much longer. i really dont want to be mean to her because i do want to be friends with her. but she said she wanted to write something nice about me so i gave her my myspace info. then she changed my name to "jen and sam true friends forever!!". she wants to have identical profiles but i told her that i thought itd be better to have them different. i dont know what else to do. she put a default pic of me and her and made her name "sam and jen friends forever" and calls me "best friend" in class. i need my personal space! i dont like being invaded and i feel like shes controling me. please help. thanx

Jeanne answered Monday July 30 2007, 10:38 pm: Wow, it sounds like this girl really likes you and is really happy that she's found a new friend! Perhaps she doesn't have a whole lot of other friends (maybe because she scares them away by acting the way she's acting with you). Obviously, you don't want to hurt her or make her feel bad. But you're right... it can be really hard dealing with someone who is that possesive!
You may have to distance yourself from her a bit. Still talk to her and do things with her if you want to, but make sure she knows that you have other friends and that you can't spend all your time with her.
As for the myspace thing... you need to tell her that you want to change it. But you can do it in a nice way. Maybe you can send her a message saying something like: "I hope you don't mind, but I think I should change my name back to ____. We're definitely good friends, but I usually don't like to put one person's name on my myspace because I don't want to hurt my other friends' feelings."
