Why do friends flirt w/ my crush as soon as they find out I like him?

I told my friend last week that I had strong feelings for this boy. She hardly noticed or spoke to him before that %26amp; ever since she found out, she's been trying to get his attention %26amp; flirt w/ him. I know her self-esteem is largely made up by attn from boys, but she's kinda involved w/ someone, so I don't get why she is bothering w/ this guy. I mentioned it to her briefly %26amp; she said she was wondering if I might notice %26amp; that he was just easy to flirt with (but the whole conversation was kinda weird %26amp; inconclusive). It bothers me %26amp; I don't know how to make sure I don't make a big deal out of it if it's not really a prob. I also wonder if she would go behind my back %26amp; flirt w/ him when I'm not around which irritates me.


I had another close friend that hooked up w/ the guy I liked this summer %26amp; I've become very distant from her since. I don't want to keep losing good friendships like this, but I don't get why my friends keep becoming interested in my object of affection.

well, your friends probably just havent ever noticed these guys before. Now that you've gotten them to notice them, they may have just realized that these guys are actually attractive and unconciously flirt with them





about the ones that are weird and purposely do it, they may be insecure and therefore competitive. they probably just want to let themselves feel like they are attractive enough for anybody.





i would just play their game and flirt even harder with these guys and make them completely yours. if they flirt with guys that you are going out with, then you should give them a talk and then to the guy to make sure nothing happens.
Reply:ur friends do taht czu they knwo u like him they trying to make ya jelouse trust me they gonna be going with him so it means the aint real friends well who is?
Reply:If they were really ur friends, they wouldn't try at all to flirt with or steal ur guy at all from u. Lol tell her that and see what she does.Try making different friends.
Reply:If you got a problem with it then it's a problem. Bring this to your friends attention and tell her that you would appreciate if she stopped. If she was a true friend she wouldn't do that to you. Your friends sound like slutz
