I need your help. I think my bestfriend likes my boyfriend. She always acts flirty around him, and she pokes him alot. All of my other friends also think that she likes him. He also has been ignoring me for a few days. :(

Is your boyfriend interested in being with your best friend? What is he thinking? How does he act when she's around?

Sounds like teen angst!

How old are you, how old is the friend, how old is the boyfriend? I'm guessing, based on your post, that you're 11-13?

Talk to your friend. Tell her that you notice how much she flirts with your boyfriend, and touches him, and that it bothers you. If she's a real friend she'll back off. If she's not a real friend she'll continue, and worse, if your boyfriend is also interested in her, you'll end up having to decide if you want either one of them in your life anymore. Frankly I'd say no if that happens.

Sadly not all friends are real friends. You'll learn that as you grow older. Better to cut them out of your life the first time they hurt you, than to wait and give them a second chance.

But for now, talk to the friend, and the boyfriend about how you feel. If they care about you at all they'll stop this behavior, or at the very least, be honest with you.

How old are the three of you?

Sounds like a young male kid who likes the attention of another female kid.
How old are you guys?

If you are 14 to 17, I would say that boys like the attention and you just need to say something. If she is chasing your boyfriend, she is not a best friend.

If you are older, then she is very immature and you need to have a long talk with her about proper behavior.
