For about a month now. Of course she asked me if it was okay and I told her it was but now I know that was a mistake! Of course, my other best friend (a guy) doesn't help at all because he is always trying to hang out with me and telling me I'm beautiful and smart and stuff and I do appreciate it all because to be honest, my best guy friend is the only guy who does that! But I'm just angry and yes, jealous. It doesn't help either that my best friend and "Mike" are going to a state university outside our homestate and I'm going to a college with my best guy friend next year. Not on purpose though, it's really only a coincidence. But how do I get over this catastrophe? What should I do!?Help! Please!

Hi there. Perhaps you should indeed have told your friend that her dating "Mike" would cause you to be upset but in hindsight you didnt realise you upset you would be about it. Make sure this is not a case of "wanting what you cannot have" - on both you and your best friend's parts. You will have to bite your tongue, put up with it for a while and who knows, it may not work out between them. You may still end up together in the future or while your best friend is dating him you might meet another guy, someone even better. Think positive and dont try to do anything to destroy their relationship out of jealousy as these things are easily done but very much regretted afterwards. All the best xx

 you need to forget "mike" it is unfair on you and your best friend to continue this, as you did tell her it was ok. have you ever concidered that your best guy friend is the right one for you, dont judge him he may really think that you're special person. give him a chance. x
