Amethyst agony auntI had a friend like that, but with other things. (I never really was into the whole crush bit.)

She's got a problem. Obviously, she's not much of a friend if she's doing that, or maybe she doesn't realize she's doing it. (Wishful thinking, I know.)

You need to confront her about it, let her know you don't like that she goes off and flirts with every guy you like. I'm sorry to be so harsh but if she doesn't stop then, you'd be pretty desperate for friends to still claim her as such. You can't have friends that are just using you, and if she doesn't show her friendship, she must have other motives for hanging out with you, right? But, some people just have serious issues like this, and don't even notice they do it, or they can't help it (so they say). Your best bet would be to tell her you're not happy about it, and wing it from there.

Best of luck!

eyeswideopen agony auntDoesn't sound like a "best friend" doesn't even sound like a "friend" to me. Keep your yap shut about the guys you like from now on or maybe steer her in the wrong direction, that could be very entertaining.

A reader, anonymous, writes (10 January 2007):

I know the mantle of 'best friend' usually means the person you can tell absolutely anything to, but in your case, maaaaaaaaaybe you should adjust it so that you tell her 99% of everything - i.e. talk about boys you like with your other friends and talk about anything else with her. This is a bad habit on her part that maybe she'll grow out of, but until then, don't mention those boys until they're safely in your clutches.

finchy agony auntShe dosent seem like a very good friend if she is doing this just to spite you!

Don't tell her if you like someone in future and then she can't interfere.
