i try not to show it, actually i dont at all. but really im a JEALOUS person. i get jealous of everyone. now im a hockey manager for the boys team at our school =] with three other girls. one is my best friend. i share a locker with her at school and we have two classes together. well i absoultely love hockey boys. and lately it seems like the "cute" boys have been kinda talking and maybe flirting a little with my best friend. there is this one boy(he actually has a girlfriend) who everyone thinks is like the hottest boy at our school and everytime he sees my friend he like "hits" her or pokes her, makes funny noises at her like kinda flirting though you know. its weird though because she hasnt really even talked to him before, this started out of no where and it just started happening like a week ago. not to sound mean AT ALL because i love her to death but i think im acutally prettier than her. not many guys i know think she is cute, she is really nice but super shy too. and its not like im mean or anything but i just wonder, why dont these boys "flirt" with me or anything? i talk to two of them, i have classes with them. they both have girlfriends but they're cool. but i just get so jealous of these kind of situations. i dont know what to do, its been bugging me. and i think that my friend may think she is kind of cool because of this. any suggestions!?
thank you so much.

A way to solve this problem is flirt with him or the others. Maybe where something that would attract them to you more than her. I know you don't want to hurt her because she is your best friend but if not very many guys flirt with her then why can't she just have one. I know it is hard and may not make sense to you why she is getting all the attention but to tell the truth looks don't always matter. Take it from someone who really knows jocks. They think looks matter of but it is not everything. Maybe if you joined in the conversation and flirted with them they will start to flirt back. If want their attention you need to do it yourself becasue jocks are brainless and have no clue of the girl world. [ Advicelady6798's advice column | Ask Advicelady6798 A Question ]
