ADVICE | FRIENDS

Make your frenemy a true-blue bestie

 
Ever had a frenemy who you secretly want to be best buds with?  Sure you disagree about things now and then or argue over boys, but way down deep, you two are one of the same. Crossing the friendship line with some people may seem downright impossible, but surprisingly enough, it’s really not that hard. Here are our tricks:


Find a common middle ground
Both of you have an affinity for sports? A love for shopping? A fondness for pets? Take it from there and plan to hang out doing whatever that connection is.  Two gals who dig sports can go to their school’s home game, the ones who love digging through the racks can take a trip to the mall and you pet lovers can volunteer at an animal shelter together.

Figure out what had you two butting heads to begin with
Your disagreements had to begin somewhere, babe. Your biggest task is overcoming those differences so that you can become real BFFs. Tackle ‘em head on with a face-to-face chat. Is it over boys?  Lay down some guy guidelines. Feel like one of you never properly listens to the other? Talk it out! 

Fake it ‘till you make it
 If you act like you’re best friends and spend more time around each other, then you’ll gradually grow closer without even trying. If it makes you feel uncomfortable being by yourself with her when you’re not quite friends yet, go for a group outing type of thing.  Invite a bunch of your girls out to the movies.  But be sure to sit next to the frenemy and chat her up while you’re out. Before you know it, your probs with this new-found pal will be history!

Blog it in, babes.  Have you got a frenemy you want to turn friend?  Or is it too far gone to try?

My bestfriend got a boyfriend 6 months ago and they are still together. I love their couple because I was best friends with the boy when I was little and I'm best friends with the girl now. Problem is, the boy changed. HE IS THE DEFINITION OF A TOOL. I can never hangout with her on Fridays now because he is with her and if I want to go on a trip with her she always asks if we will be home in time so she can watch wrestling with him. I'm loosing her and my other friends are noticing. I really don't think she likes me anymore either. She really never asks to hang out and hangs up or ignores my calls. I don't know if she is worth my time anymore, or if I should just give up on this. thanks Smile

 

Hey girl, this is always a really tough thing, because it happens pretty frequently and there's not much you can do. Sometimes when a girl gets into a relationship, she can forget to make time for her friends.  If they break up things will probably go back to normal, but until then the best thing to do is tell her how you feel. It would NOT be a good idea to tell her you don't like her boyfriend, because people can take that really personally, but I think if you just tell her you feel neglected and ask her to make an effort to hang out with you, she'll try. Try suggesting you guys get together one day a week (like she hangs out with her BF on Fridays) just to hang out. Most of all, be patient - if the situation was reversed and you were really excited about a guy you were dating, you'd probably lose track of your friends too.  xoxo Allie

Sometime's when I send a risky text to my crush (like a really flirty one or something)..if he doesn't respond within like 2 minutes Iget super panicked and regret sending the message how can I get rid of these jitters:s
Thanks!Smile xoxo




Hey girl,

That's so normal! I get that way too - and all those jitters/butterflies are part of the fun of having a crush! Just think carefully about the text before you send it. Make sure you're not coming on too strong and you're being your normal, friendly, relaxed self. Then, send it. Once you send it you can't go back, so take a deep breath and accept that it's done. And it always helps me if I do something right afterward to take my mind off it, like hang out with friends, take a shower, paint my nails (then you REALLY can't keep grabbing your phone and obsessing), etc. Those doubts won't go away completely, but just remember to stay calm about the whole thing and let him decide what to do once the ball is in his court <3
