Should I dump my bragging best friend?

My best friend and I have been friends for 6 years. The thing is, she is always trying to be better than me (and she's succeeding, too.)...

MODMODMODMOD!!!!! What does it mean when a comment is in parentheses?

 

Hey girl!  I'm sorry, I'm not exactly sure what you mean.  Sometimes people use parentheses in their comments when they are including additional information.

MOD MOD MOD! sry i keep asking for questions! well i tell my friend a lot of secrets... but over texts. she (lets call her "h") forwards me a lot of things other people say to her but the thought never occured to me she would do that with mine! so then today i asked her about this one thing. my friend (lets call her "e") in the locker room said AS A JOKE that she and h were talking about me at her house and that she couldnt tell me what it was they were talking about. i left the locker room before she did so she never got the chance 2 tell me it was a joke! so when i asked h she said it wasnt true and then i asked e and she told me it was a joke and then she told me that i told h that i said they called me the "b" word and a slut! and when i asked her she told me h forwarded that to her! thats not even close to wat i said! all i said was that she told me that they were talking about me! i told h i couldnt trust her since she changed and fwded my txt! should i dump her? HELP!



Hey girl, wow, that does sound confusing and frustrating.  I can understand why you would feel hard.  It also sounds like it would be really hard to get the facts straight with all this texting and forwarding going on.  You might want to talk to your friend and get the facts straight.  Once you get more perspective, you will be able to decide if it's worth giving this friendship another chance.  In the future, be wary of someone who forwards texts (and be careful what you send!).  xoxo

My friend does something similar to that too! She always tells me that her family might lose their house because they are so poor. I went to her birthday party this year and she got like $100, a laptop, an iPod touch, and a bunch of Justin Bieber stuff. I don't know about you, but that doesn't sound like poor. She brags and shows off all the time. She always says she can get boys better and faster than I can. When she said that, I said "Well how come the last 3 times you asked a guy out, they rejected?" (btw, this is true) Then she just put on a little pouty face and stormed off. I even asked those 3 guys and they said they would rather date me than her. I am not trying to be talking behind her back, but if it is as bad as this, well honey, you got to let it out.
P.S. if anyone needs advice, I am good with it! <:~)->--< (this emoticon is trademarked)

Mod Mod Mod! I have a friend, not my best friend but she is awesome, one problem, she is trying to steal my crush! She also knows that I like him! I need good flirting tips and ways to get him to like me, whenever I have a conversation with him she just stares and looks really mad! What do I do?!

 

 

Hey girly girl! You need to ask this guy to hang out, just the two of you, without your friend. Invite him over to study, or to the movies next weekend! Smile

I have a problem. My best friend keeps blowing me off to hang out with her boyfriend! We made plans to have a sleepover tonight and go to the mall but it never happened. I tried calling her, texting her and posting on her facebook wall bit she never answered. Everytime I went to her profile, she had updated her status saying like "oh I love my bf" and "hanging out with my bf for the day" I'm really mad cause she can see him everyday at school and she hangs with him on the weekends but we go to different schools and everytime we make plans on the weekend, she blows me off. What should I do?




Hey! let her know that your upset and if she keeps flaking out just don't make plans with her anymore. good luck!

I have a major problem! Two of my be sties have been fighting a ton! It's getting so annoying! They say rude things to each other all the time! They both think I'm on their side. But honestly I'm on neither. I just wish we could all be friends, I really don't know what to do! HELP!!!!!!!

 

You don't want to get too involved in their argument, but maybe you could call everyone together for the purpose of trying to work things out, if you think that might be helpful. Tell them that you aren't on either side and want to be able to all hang out again like you used to. Maybe you could also mention something to each friend individually about how it isn't nice to call the other friend names and remind them that if they want to be friends again, they're going to have to stop saying rude things to each other. Try to bring up some happy memories of hanging out from the past. However, I don't know how involved you really want to get in their arguments. If they seem to not want you getting in the middle of things, I'd try to hang out with each friend separately for now and hopefully they will work the problem out on their own.

Hi tonights my homecoming and yesterday i was asked by a guy friend to go with him, even thought we are meeting there in seperate groups. I said yes because hes new and i felt bad if i said no. The problem is, none of my friends have dates and honestly, i dont really want one. i hate dancing and i dont know what to talk about wih him. I mean i do like him and i kinda wished he would ask me, but now that he did i dont really want to go with him. I kinda just want to hang out with my friends because we dont see each other much during the school day. Please please help?

 


Hey girl,

Since you already said yes, I don't think it would be nice to
tell him no on the day of the dance. However, since you're going
separately and meeting there, I think it's likely that you'll be able
to hang out with everyone at once. You'll probably spend some time
dancing with him, but everyone is so close together at a dance like
homecoming that you'll be able to be near your friends and the guy. It
may even be too loud to actually talk, so I think more of the talking
will come beforehand when you're with your friends getting ready or out
to dinner.


 

If you do end up hanging out with the guy a lot, you shouldn't
lead him on — if you start getting the feeling that he really likes you
or wants to ask you out, and you don't want to go out with him, don't
respond to these signals with flirting or smiling too much — just be
polite. If you decide not to go with him, start off with a compliment,
like that he's a really nice guy. Then go into your reason: you decided
you'd rather just go with your friends because you never get to see
them during the school day, and apologize to him.
