Hi, so me and this guy I like have been flirting and talking A lot.. I really feel a vibe between us too and it's really special, but there's a problem, my friend! Every time me and the guy I'm talking to are talking just one-on-one she will butt in and try to gain my spot light. She doesn't like him, and she knows I do.
I have told her before how I felt about this and she just doesn't get it, she claims she's just talking to him, but she's trying to become something more. She touches him, ATTEMPTS to create inside jokes (thankfully he kind of pushes them aside), and tries to make him laugh.. all in front of me.

Should I just leave her, or should I put this aside?

And please don't tell me not to let a guy get in between our friendship, because this isn't about a guy, it's about her actions.

Thanks so much!

Hi, barbiechick123!

Are you sure that she doesn't like him? I apologize for questioning you, but is there any possibility that she might be jealous, even if she truly doesn't like him?

Thanks!

Yes, I'm sure... she does this to my other friend, also.

Oh, and maybe I should mention that she likes my guy's twin brother... she really likes him.

Thanks again! :)

Does your guy's twin brother have a girlfriend? You mention that you've already told her about how you feel about what she's doing. However, what specifically is it that you're telling her, please? How and what you tell her can make a difference.

Thanks!

No, his twin brother doesn't have a girlfriend (to my knowledge)... and this is how our conversation went.

Me: Hey.. why do you keep flirting with *kevin* (not his name).

Her: What do you mean? I don't...

Me: well. I kind of feel like you do, your always trying to touch him and make him laugh, you kept trying to make inside jokes with him.

Her: so, because you like him I can't be his friend?

Me: I'm not saying that, I just feel like if you know I like him so much you wouldn't try to be closer to him than me... at least in my eyes.

Her: look, I don't like him. I like his brother, you know that. So can we drop it, and not let a guy get in between our frienship?

Than the bell rang so yeah...

So, how about setting his brother up with your friend, especially since she's indicated that she likes his brother?

Thanks!
