Do you think that the saying "once you've got a boyfriend/girlfriend, you don't seem to care about your friends anymore?" is true?

Because my bestfriend has one, and she hasn't talked to me in months!

I agree. My best friend had lots of boyfriends but she never ditched. Yet I knew girls that were way too wrapped up in their guys, so it depends. I don't think someone should ditch a good friend for a boy that might not even be around very long.

Are you popular at your school? On a scale from 1-10 what would you say?

Kay Scarpetta · 01-08-2002, 10:30 PM

Like someone else said...it depends on the friend

I've definitely had girl friends dump me for their boyfriends. Some are worse than others about it. I think that females are worse in this way than guys are. Guys seem to stick with their buddies through thick and thin.

Mossopp · 01-09-2002, 06:04 PM

Yes - unfortunately when your best friend gets a boyfriend you can wave goodbye to her.
It's not the same with guys - they seem to take friendship a lot more seriously. I think, in that respect, guys make better friends than girls cos you'll never see a guy dumping his mates just cos he's got a girlfriend.
My best friend dumped me when she got a boyfriend - I didn't see her for about 3 months. I'd talk to her on the phone and I warned her that the guy she was going out with was an idiot but she didn't listen to me. Then once they'd broken up she came crawling back to me like nothing had happened and expected me to welcome her back with open arms. It would have been ok if she didn't go'n do the exact same thing with a different guy a few months later!! I told her I wasn't gonna put up with being treated like I'm her best friend one minute and then being treated like I don't even exist. Basically I gave her an ultimatum...
We don't speak at all now.

I know it's none of my business but I worry about you and this Darren guy. Don't get mad - I know I've never met either of you so I don't know what the 2 of you are like. I just feel kinda bad for you when you have "girlfriend of Darren" as you little description of yourself. You could be anything you want to be yet you choose to describe yourself as that. I don't think it's healthy for a person to define themselves through someone else. I mean, who are you gonna be when Darren's gone?

Don't get crazy at me or anything. I'm just interested to understand how you can be happy labelling yourself like that. I'm Mossopp - I don't belong to anyone and I'm happy being my own person.

OMG! Are you serious? *sighs* And yeah, I am going to go crazy on you cuz you have no clue what the hell we have been through together. What am I going to be when he's gone? Don't know yet but we'll find out when that taime comes. Yeah and good for you for not "labelling" yourself or whatever, but that's you this is me and I'm fine w/ my little description of myself.... Ok, I got s sh*tload more to say on this isuue but won't.....*now* at least. Later... ehhh.. prolly.

ILuvJoandBlair · 01-10-2002, 12:22 AM

I personaly think that if this person is a true friend then she won't anyone or thing get in the way of your friendship.
