my friend and her boyfriend I'm 18 & im a female. I have a friend who has a boyfriend & her boyfriend is always around her, so I never get to spend time with just her & I told both of them about how I feel but they don't believe me. What can I do to spend more time with just her?

I'm sorry about your situation. First, I find it really weird that they would think you were lying about something like that. I understand how girls can get so caught up with their boyfriends that they forget about their friends (I've had many friends do this to me), but at the end of the day, she needs to understand that this relationship may not last forever, but friendships can. Maybe you could try asking her to have a girl's night, and possibly do something pretty girly like a manicure or anything so that her and her boyfriend both may get the hint that it's a girls only thing. If possible, maybe you could ask her to have a sleepover. It may sound childish, but I'm 19 and I still do it, and she should be able to realize that this means no boyfriend. If none of that works, you might want to try talking to her without her boyfriend around (if it's possible) and telling her that you have no problem with her boyfriend and that you understand that they're going to spend a lot of time together, but that you miss hanging out with her alone and see how she reacts. If she still doesn't believe you, then maybe you should step back and re-evaluate your friendship. ]
