I have a problem with one of my close friends. Every time I like a guy, whether she knows that I like him or not, she goes out with him. And now it's happening again as I type this. I tried to confront her about this but she says that she "doesn't see it happening". The worst part is I have tried to be more like her but that's not being true to myself. PLEASE HELP!!!

     Hey! I'm sorry that you have this problem. My friend feels the same way about me, she says I steal the guys she likes. So here is my advice to you, don't try and be like your friend and don't do the same thing to her--you should never stoop yourself down to that type of person's level. If you have talked to her about it and she keeps on doing what you asked her not to, then you don't need a friend like that. My friend said something to me and I said okay I'm sorry and I never went out with the people she liked again. So listen to me when I say if she was your true friend she would have noticed her mistake and she wouldn't keep it up

     Your friend doesn't seem to be a very good friend. And if she's not a good friend, she's not worth your time. If you don't want to end the friendship, don't tell her who you like, tell a friend that you can TRUST. Don't try to act like her, stay true to yourself.

     Well first off, this same thing is happening to me too! It's my best friend, everyone I like always likes her and it drives me crazy! And she always likes them too and they end up going out or getting really close and almost going out! IT MAKES ME CRAZY! But now I'm figuring out that if a guy doesn't like you then that's just him, and if he doesn't like you then he's bound to like someone else and sometimes it's someone close to you. You just gotta keep on being yourself, you know? You'll find someone that you really like and that really likes you. And if they like that close friend, then I guess it just wasn't meant to be! I also suggest that you talk to her about it so she knows that you're sensitive about the topic so she won't be all over your crush (her boyfriend) right in front of you or anything! Well, I hope that helps you out hun!

     I think that you need to sit down with your friend and tell her how much it's hurting you. If she tells you that she doesn't see it again, then give her some examples. I have a lot of best friends and if they knew that I liked a guy, they wouldn't even give him a second thought. Best friends are supposed to be true to each other. Maybe she feels like she can stand over you and do anything and it doesn't hurt your feelings. Stand up to her. If she IS your friend she will listen. Hope this helps!

     I know exactly what you mean 'cause my best friend used to do it to me, too. I hated her for it. Truth is there's not much you can really do about it. What I did was I got her hooked up with someone so since she was taken she'd lay off my men. But if all else fails, fight fire with fire and do it right back to her. She doesn't sound like a true friend to me.
