A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

First of all, please don't think I'm like a terrible person for writing this(: Ok, my best friend (who is a guy) I mean we're like inseperable, is playing basketball this year. He tried out last year, but didn't make it. A few guys on the team gave him a nickname and it's really went to his head. He's suddenly started thinking he's soooo popular, but I've been around the guys that he thinks like him, and they really talk about him behind his back. I've went along with it as long as I can, and agreed with him, but he can only take it so far. He's always telling me how he thinks girls are flirting with him, when really their not, and he's getting ready to ask one out. I've talked to a lot of people and they say she's just annoyed with him, but he really likes her and I don't want him to get hurt. So, do I tell him he's not as popular as he thinks, or let him learn a lesson (that sounds so mean)

Gabrielle Stoker agony auntIt's usually best to let people learn from their mistakes and be there for them if they take the lesson too hard.

He may blame you if he finds out that you knew and didn't tell him. But I think that's a risk you should take.

You're not a terrible person at all. You're actually very caring. It can be painful and embarrassing to see a good friend act like an idiot. The thing about being a friend, is sometimes you have to just smile. This is one of those times. He will learn by himself, and he'll need a good friend beside him when it does go wrong.
