DearCupid.org,

Okay, so my best friend keeps telling me over and over again that she thinks this one guy in our school is really hot. I don't think he's ugly but the problem is that he's a really big pervert. When I tried telling her this, she just pushed it away and says 'That doesn't mean anything. You don't know him."

But I do know him, he's my other friend's ex. He had tried doing stuff with my other friend many times, even trying to get her to do drugs. She eventually broke up with him because of it. She had even told her parents about him.

I don't bring it up that often, but his ex, my other friend, keeps trying to convince her not to get involved with him. My best friend, the one that likes him, insists she still wants to kiss him and that she loves him.

What can I do to convince her that he's no good for her? Or should I just let her deal on her own, making her own mistakes? I just don't want her to get hurt.

Please help me!

fishdish agony auntBeen here. After a certain point of warning your friend and her disregarding your warnings, you have to step back and possibly be ready to pick up the pieces. There is a point where she knows where you stand on it, and if you push more on it, 1)she'll want even more to be with this guy 2) she'll resent you for getting in her way, and she will no longer perceive you as a friend but an enemy. It's her life and she has to live with her choices. who knows, maybe he'll treat her better..
