Dear Amy,
I'm good friends with this girl (and no, this is not one of those 'I'm totally in love with her, and don't know what to do' letters), and lately it seems like she likes this guy who seems to like her back.
What's the problem with that, I hear you ask? The problem is, I don't think he's sincere about her – something about him seems a bit off. Sure, he's flirty and charming, but for some reason it seems more like he wants everyone to notice his behaviour towards her than he wants her to respond. I think he might just be after her because she's pretty and popular. I really don't like him, and I don't think he's the right guy for her at all.
Should I say something to her?
Worried
Dear Worried,
It's a dilemma. If you don't say anything and your friend gets hurt, you'll be beating yourself up for not having warned her before; if you do say something, she might resent your interference.
I say watch and wait awhile, and make sure there really is a cause for concern before you say anything to her. Who knows, it might just die away without anything coming of it.
By the way, are you sure you're not in love with your friend? You seem awfully determined to dislike this other guy just because he's 'flirty and charming' and you're – presumably – not. Give it some thought – you two sound like you'd be a cute couple.
Gah... times like these I really wish my editor didn't hide peoples' email addresses from me – I have no idea who you are, but I'm really curious now!
Amy
