dear all you awesome agony aunts

and thank you for your help in advance.

i have liked this guy for quite a while now and learnt from past relationships that its worth the wait anyway just the other day he decided to like my best friend and as soon as he admitted that, my best friend decieded to fall for him complettely even though she knew how much i liked him!

she came to me and asked if it was ok and i told her it was fine, what was i supposed to do tell her its not and ruin a nice relationship?? i couldnt live with myself then and i would regret it forever and that would leave them both hating me, how should i react? should i just leave it?

HELP

CHICky xoxo

Hi again,

I wish I knew at your age what I know now!! We feel so deeply at the time, however-give it time and it will pass. As for finding someone when you're older-my best tip is be friends with someone first. I am now married to someone who I knew as friend for 4 years before. He was in a relationship when we met too. Things can change just like that. Stop looking and trying so hard and something will happen. Here is a great tip-guys are more likely to notice you if you are having fun and don't appear interested in them. Play it cool-they will soon start taking notice! It's tricky, but it works SO well!!Also, make sure you spend some quality time pampering yourself-you will feel so much better regardless!! Let them come to you! Stop looking and they will....

Hi,

There are SO many fish in the sea! Why waste time worrying about them! Believe me when I say that many more boys will cross your path! Look-if your friend is a really good friend then be honest with her. If you can't do that, then just be supportive and try and enjoy yourself at the same time! Very few relationships at your age actually become long-term, so PLEASE just enjoy being single and have fun. There is plenty of time for all the serious stuff later...!

You're really wise to have chosen frienship over romance. If you're really willing to let her have him, you should do it while being honest with her. You have to tell her that you're letting her have him even if you're not fine with it. That means she has to remember to be sensitive to your feelings and not talk about him in front of you or ask you along when she's out with him.
