There's an acquaintance of mine who has a fucking obsession with taking people's crushes/boyfriends/any boy that another girl is even just talking to away from them. For example, she would notice that I'm talking to a guy that I have even a casual crush on and then pounce on him right when she has the chance! And I'm getting sick of it! It's like an obsession with proving to the whole world that she could get any and every guy she wants. I think I should confront her with this for the 20th time, but I know this hasn't been effective, so I would like some ideas please? I just want her to stop.
Additional info, added Tuesday December 10 2013, 10:02 pm: I just feel like it's unfair to the boys. These are usually guys that are nerdy and quiet, (MY type,) and she gives them a confidence boost because a pretty girl is deliberately flirting with them, and then they tell her how they feel only to have her reject them. And then she stops talking to that guy, and moves on to the next.. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?

I mean you can talk to her, but if this is just what she does, it just might not stop and it might even encourage her.
And like Rahzie said, these guys don't try to stop her, guys just can't be taken unless they want to be.

If she keeps doing tgis just stop talking to her cause I thibk a real friend would try to compromise. [ heretohelp247's advice column | Ask heretohelp247 A Question ]

Unless she is kidnapping people, then there is nothing much you can do. She may be a bitch, but boys have free will and can freely choose her company, or someone else's. If she in fact is doing this to prove something, then confronting her about it is the surest way to encourage her-as far as she is concerned you bringing it up is just letting her know she's winning.
So ignore her. You can mention to guys that she tries to get every guys attention, but in the end, you'll have to trust a smart guy to see through her attempts, and not hold it against guys who don't know her if they don't recognize her attention seeking behaviour right away.
