I have liked this guy for a while, but he has a girlfriend. When his GF isn’t around, he always flirts with me! I like him so much, but is he just a player?


Dear Teased?,

You have a couple options. You can continue to enjoy the flirting but hold on to your heart so you don’t wind up with dashed hopes. Or you can step back and convince yourself that it’s not worth crushing on someone who is taken yet pays a lot of attention to someone else—you. Most school relationships don’t last forever, so it’s possible he’ll move on and all this low-key flirtation will blossom into something later. But be careful what you wish for because, chances are, he may always be the kind of boyfriend who keeps his eyes open for the next romance.

MOD MOD MOD!!!!
There is a guy that is dating my BFF from preschool. He is always messaging me about how "cute I am" and how " I'm the perfect girl" He told me he has a crush on me, but he has a girlfriend!!! He is nice but a lot of my other friends said he is weird, they are such a cute couple and I dont want to mess that up. What do I do?

 

Hey chica! Time to make it clear to this guy that you are NOT interested- he's dating your BFF!  If he keeps at it, you need to tell your friend since you might not be the only girl he's telling this to and another girl might notbe pushing him away! xoxo

MOD
My best friend just broke up with her boyfriend. It was a bad break-up and she's been feeling really depressed over the past few days. Their relationship ended after 6 months. I REALLY feel like saying I TOLD YOU SO, because I did, and I know the guy better then I know my best friend in terms of how long we've been friends. Should I be sympathetic towards the guy too since he's my friend, even though he dumped my BFF? Also, how do I comfort my BFF and help her get over the split? Please help!

 

Hey girlie,

Well, you know that now is not the time for "I told you so" or rubbing it in her face. Break ups hurt bad enough, so try to let that go and just focus on what is in front of you: a bestie who is upset, sad, and needs support. You're friends with both of them, so the best way to deal is to be supportive but NOT negative - never bad mouth the other person. Stuff like, "Ugh girl, he wasn't a good BF. Forget about that loser" isn't good, and neither is "Omg she was so needy, you're better off." Instead, stick to supportive and optimistic things. Tell them both that it isn't their fault they didn't work together and they're better off now because they can look for someone who is meant for them. Over time, they will heal and it'll feel less tense. Stick with it! <3

-MOD-
My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost 2 years, and we're both Juniors in high school. He is truly an amazing guy, but lately I haven't been seeing much of the guy I fell in love at the beginning. He is super protective of me, like if I talk to one of my other guy friends he instantly is right there too. But he seems to ignore me when we go to parties together, or when we're at band practice. He always is talking to another girl, and I'm not the jealous type or anything, but he is just always with her. I think he likes her personality more than mine. She's super smart. He only comes over to me to kiss or hug me, and that's all I feel like he wants to do. We haven't had a regular conversation in a while; all it is is sexual talk and stuff. I have talked to him about the ignoring thing and he said he "would try harder not to". Please help :\ I have no idea what I should do...Thanks Smile

 

Hey girlie,

It's totally normal for relationships to hit a "rut" around 2 years. You're starting to feel super comfortable with each other, so it's easy for both of you to stop trying. You start to wonder who you are without the other person - do you have your own life? Do you feel free to try new things, grow into a different person, meet new people? What was it like to be single...? You know? It's natural to have all these questions and to be imagining your life differently. That's probably what's happening here. That doesn't mean that either of you WANTS to break up - that just means that you've been doing the same thing for a while, so it's getting a little stale. First, talk to him about how you're feeling. Tell him you've felt like you were distant lately and you miss being close to him again - like going new places together, trying new foods, hanging out, and just getting to know each other. Ask him if he's willing to work a little on the relationship and help you mix things up. Then, actually commit to it - go on dates and try things that you have never done before, like a museum or a hobby or even just seeing a new movie and discussing it afterwards. Start working on your connection by showing each other that there is STILL a lot about each other you have to learn. Don't get bored Smile If this doesn't work, it might just be that your relationship ran its course and you're both growing into different people. That happens to! But give it a try before you panic or give up!
