My BFF and I like a lot of the same boys. Now, she says I need to stop liking certain boys just because she likes them.


Dear Friend,

Try saying something like, “It’s awkward that we like the same guy, but it means we have excellent taste! Let’s make a pact that if one of us starts going out with someone, we won’t let it get in the way of our friendship.” And be sure to talk about other things in your lives besides crushes.

So I like this guy in my grade. I'm really bad at holding my feelings inside. He has a girlfriend (About 6 months) that is a good friend of mine. I don't want to make my friend upset by showing hints that I like him.. What should I do?

Hey girlie,

If he has a girlfriend, he's off limits for now, especially if his girlfriend is your friend! If you were dating him, would you want him to flirt with someone else? Try staying just friends with him for now and keeping your eyes open to other cuties at your school who are available Smile

MOD MOD MOD!
Okay there's this guy i like. He knows who i am and stuff. But everytime I try to talk to him my friend comes and interupts! She flirts with him a ton and its starting to get really annoying. She cant even date yet! And the worst part is...she knows i like him! Is there any way how i can talk to him? Just him and me. Plus his birthday is coming up. would it be weird if i told him happy birthday? I watch him perform his songs and after ward i say he did really good. Anything I can say?

Hey girlie,

Maybe you should talk to your friend privately without him there. If she likes him too, she might be hurt that you're flirting with him. You'll have to decide if talking to him is worth possibly losing your friendship with her. I don't think it would be weird to say happy birthday and say he did well, he would probably think that was nice! Check out this article for more advice on liking the same guy as your friend: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/12/02/Boy-or-bestie.aspx?cp=all

MOD MOD! So a guy that i know but i'm not great friends with messaged me on facebook just saying hey! he started asking me for my snapchat and then asked for my number so i gave it to him. he texted me first 2 days in a row telling me that i was really nice and cute and that we needed to hang out. i like him a little but every time i see him at school he doesn't even bother to look at me .. we were the only ones in the hallway the other day and he said NOTHING! i feel like he's just messing with me and it makes me sad because no guys ever like me .. advice? thanks <3

 

Hey softball6, I think he's just really shy in person. He may have wanted you to initiate communication in the hall, since he was the one to do it online. So next time you see him, go up to him. Hope this helps! Xoxo Smile

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!! I reaaaaally need somebody's help with this issue! (and maybe if ur seeing this and ur not a modder, possibly give me extra advice on my page? thanks!) ok, so I reaaally like my bgf. but he doesn't like me. I asked him out and all that but he said just as a friend. I am FINALLY over feeling heart broken... but I need some tips on how to stay his best frnd and to make the love feelings go away! PLEASE help! I would reaaaaaally appreciate it! thank u SOOO much! <3

 

Hey lalalagurl, you can't make your feelings disappear in a day girl. Give yourself time. Slowly start shifting your focus from him to other things. Pick up hobbies to occupy your time. Hang out with other friends. Getting your feelings out on paper may help. This can be a good thing. So he doesn't like you romantically, but you still have a really good guy friend. Something romantic could've ruined your relationship forever. And how many people can say they have good friends? Hope some of this works for you! Xoxo Smile

Mod ive sent really important questions and they never showed up but plz help idk wats wrong with me I am 12 and lately I cant stop threathing some really annoying kids because they call me my crush name I try to ignore them but I cant I was bullied alot last year but at the start of this school year I wasn't like this.one minute im happy next im not.im also bummed becuz my crush who used to like me now probably thinks im crazy he would be really sweet and now hes probably scared and creeped out by me .plz help wat should I do ive thought of asking him if we can start fresh but I get scared is there another way tell him I want to start fresh without asking him

 

hey! I'm sorry you were bullied, but that's no reason to start acting like a bully yourself. Don't bring yourself down to their level. maybe with your crush just be friendly. say hi and smile. if you act like you're starting fresh then he'll know you have Smile
