helping a friend


Question Posted Monday December 24 2007, 11:55 pm

First of all, I'm a girl and my friend is a guy. We're both in high school. I like him, and he knows it, but we are still really good friends, even though it did hold us down for a while. Anyway, there are several things I need help on. 1 is that he has a girlfriend, which he says he loves, but he is always depressed and afraid of being hurt, and thinks she doesn't care enough about him, which might be true, but he's always telling me about how sad he is, and I care about him a lot, but I don't know how to help him. I want him to feel better. I want to be there for him when he needs me. 2 is that I really like him. A lot. I wish there was away I could show him that I care more than he'll ever know, and I'm the one he needs. When he describes what he wants, it's what I want too, but he likes this other girl. I was fine with them being together at first, because he was happy and she was becoming my friend, but then she became bitchy to me and he was always depressed. I need advice. Thanks.

ok first of all i really wouldnt get into their business unless u really see a problem

if there is you should talk to your friend about it relationships always have fighting,their probably fine.

and if you try to get the guy to notice you and see that he really likes you trust me guys dont really notice things so dont feel bad when he doesnt say anything but wat do i know he might

if worst comes to worst just ask him out who knows he might break up with his girlfriend; if not then he should probably be a good friend and stay good friends with you


hope i helped!!!!!!!!:-]

You should tell him how you feel about his girlfriend, and make it sound like a concerned friend (which you are).
If he truly believes that his girlfriend is what he wants and needs, then you should respect that =/ I know that can be painful.
If he agrees that he doesn't need his girlfriend, then don't go for the kill and confess to him, give him time to heal.
Since he knows you like him, he might like you in return, but doesn't want to ruin your friendship.
He might not like you like as a potential girlfriend, and doesn't want to admit to that and ruin your friendship. You'll hurt if he tells you that, and your friendship won't be stable.
I hope I helped!

First of all i know exactly how you feel...about like your guy friend. It really sucks to see a friend in need and you don't know how to help. You need to tell him how you feel about his situation...let him know that your there for him, even if you've already told him, tell him again. He'll come to you as soon as he realizes what a great friend, person you are. His relationship with this girl isn't as healthy as it seems if he is becoming depressed often.
i wish i had something more to say..i hope this helps. good luck! =]]

Tell him you are worried about him and ask if you can help. I know being there is at ttimes helpful but explain the way he was before and how he is since. You may not get the guy for awhile if at all but you may get the chance to eventually tell him how you really feel, maybe by then he will be open enough to consider it or he may decide that you are what he wants. GOOD LUCK to you and wish you and him the best.
