My BGF has a crummy GF

  • The Real Deal: Why guys hate shopping
My BGF is dating this girl who I don’t think is good for him. She always is flirting with other guys, and she doesn’t act like herself around him. She doesn’t let him make any decisions in the relationship and sometimes says things about him that aren’t very nice to other people. I tried talking to him about it, but he just shrugged it off and said I was wrong. I think he’s going to end up getting hurt in this relationship because he cares about her more then she cares about him. How do I get the message across to him that he needs to watch out?

 

Hey girl! I am really glad to hear that you are trying to be a good friend to your BGF. This is probably not the answer you want to hear, but there might not be much you can do to protect him from getting hurt. If he has already shot down your first attempt to help him out, he will probably only get more and more annoyed the more you try. I don’t think there is much that you can say to change his mind since he likes his girlfriend so much. Continuing to warn him is just going to make him mad at you.

 

I would say the best thing you can do in this situation is to let him do what he wants with his relationship and just be there for him if they break up, which it sounds like a possibility. You have already tried to be a good friend warning him. The next best thing you can do is to be there to help him pick of the pieces if he gets his heart broken. Whatever you do, don’t give him the ol’ I-told-you-so line. No friend wants to hear that when they’re upset.

 

I know it can be really tough to see friends treated poorly, but when it comes to relationships sometimes people have to get hurt a few times before they can really figure out what they want and don’t want in a partner. Even though you care about your friend, he needs to figure out for himself that this is not how he wants to be treated.

(extremly long, srry). MODMODMDODMODMODMOD!!!!!!!!

 

Hey girl, just be yourself. Don't be nervous, it'll be fine! Just joke around, tell some stories and talk like friends. It may be awkward at first, but it will go away fast then be fine. Have fun!!

I would really love to rock a bikini but what are some other styles that could look good on me???? i wouldn't mind a one piece as long as it's super cute.

1.) So my parents agreed to let me go to the 1D concert in 2013! YAY! The thing is I can find tickets and they are willing to buy them for me as part of my 8th grade graduation gift (which is the year of the concert) but the only tickets I can find are obstructed view and my mom won't let me get them because they are expensive as it is! Any advice?
2.)I really like my BGF and I think he likes me too!! I'm just not sure though! He stares at me A LOT, laughs at my extremely lame jokes, and is always making eye contact with me and smiling once he catches my eye! Do you think he likes me?
Thanks and sorry for the two questions that are kinda long and have a LOUIStastic day,
~~Hannah(HungerGamesRox99)

Ok,so,I like my BGF.We have been friends since i was really little.We text some,but he hardly ever replies.If he does,he only saya one or two words.But that was after my friend ruined everything.She told him that we would make a cute couple,and now he will hardly text me.Before she told him that,we would text each other for about 2 or 3 hours.I told him I would have a birthday party,and everytime I ask him if he is comingg because my mom needs to know,he says no.But his mom told me the other day that there is a high chance that he can come.I'm just really confused because my friend told me that he doesn't like me,then he is flirting with me the next day,and then lying to me.I don't know what to do.Please help!!!
