My friend is mad at ME, because the guy she likes, likes me! HELP.

So today, my friend lets call her Lucy, asked me and another friend, who we can call, Jane, to go ask this guy out for her. I know, childish! But that's what she wanted, so me and Jane go up to him and ask. So we go, and Jane's really bold, and she doesn't mind asking out a senior, even though technically it's not for her...But still, I couldn't just ask, I just tagged along. So Janes way up ahead of me, and I see her ask him. This guys cutish, not a total stud, but cute. And when I got closer, he smiled and said, "go out with her? Sure." And he slung his arm over my shoulder. Jane laughs and says "actually, she's over there" and we point to Lucy. Then he says, "oh, sorry, no thanks." While his arm is still on my shoulder. Eventually we start to walk away, and he asks: "So are we going out?" I say no, because, he's just not for me, plus my friend would be p*ssed. Wait, that doesn't matter, cause she's already really mad! She says: "It's not fair, god!" And she runs away from me, and of course all the girls who I thought were my besties run after her. And I'm alone, and apparently the bitch. I want all my friends back, what should I do?

I'm not sure what you can do. I mean, it isn't your fault that this guy likes you.

Honestly, I know what it's like to be your friend, Lucy. It hurts. Try to imagine how she feels. I would probably be upset with you, too. Only because its so much easier to blame you even though you have no control over the situation. Does that make sense? I'm just trying to show you how she feels. Maybe she feels that you're prettier than her and she's insecure about that.

Anyway, she'll get over it. Really, though, its not your fault. She just has to realize that you have no control over the fact that a guy likes you. Talk to her. Ask her how she really feels. Something is bothering her and its not just this incident with this guy. I don't know but you have to figure it out by talking to her.

ok this is what confuses the hell out of me. This "friend" of yours needs to grow up and realize that not everything she wants will be handed to her, you need to make it clear that it wasn't your fault and that she has no right to be mad at you and tell her how pathetic it is! I mean this is so immature I wouldn't even expect 6th graders to act like this! Harsh I know but she needs to grow up because life is gonna be a hell of a lot harder if she doesn't
