Can she get them to stop flirting with each other?
Or does she need to get over it?
Some people have problems that require delicate advice from a qualified professional.
Welcome back to Tough Love.
Note: Im not a therapist or health professional of any kind.
People ask for my advice and I give it to them.
If you have a problem with it, feel free tofile a formal complaint here.
I have many male friends; the majority of my companions are boys, in fact.
This is not because I have a desire for attention or seek sensual encounters.
Merely because I grew up with all boy family members.
I dont like watching that happen.
I dont want complications or any love life formulating within the relationship of my best friend and my friends.
Sincerely,
Friend Wrangler
Hey Friend Wrangler:
First, I think you ARE jealous.
Maybe not in a romantic way, but you definitely dont like losing the attention of your guy friends.
You like being the cool girl who can hang with the bros.
They dont venture to get with you and you dont venture to get with them.
Now they want to pay attention to the new flirty girl who they could potentially get with.
So yeah, youre jealous, just in a different way.
Second, you are not the keeper of any of these people.
And you talk about your gal pal like shes some weirdo whos unworthy of showing interest in anyone.
Thats so uncool, Friend Wrangler!
Theyre adultsthey can flirt, or Snapchat, or hook up with whoever they want.
But okay, Ill play ball.
After all, its not Tough Love if its all tough.
Yourenottelling her to stop.
Maybe shell back off.
Either that, or shell think youre jealous of her.
So, which one do you want to be?
