I Don't Want To Lose My Friends
My guy friend asked me to prom last week. I told him i didnt want to ruin our friendship by going. since then everything has gone down hill. He wont stop texting me, passing me notes, and just stopping me to tell me he loves me. I dont like him like that. Stupid thing is, thursday night he told one of my really close friends that he loved her. Now he is taking another girl to prom. He told this girl that he loves her also. All of this is really bringing me down I just dont know what to do. I want to yell at him and tell him to get out of my life, but my best friend is taking his side and she will be out of my life as well. and if i dont do anything he is always going to be around because of my best friend and him are really close. Any advice?

Relationships are so tricky....think about what you can do.  You are reaching out for help, and that is ok.  What do you feel your options are? 
If you choose to yell at him, what would that achieve?  It sounds as if you know that answer...it would not change or achieve much....but would that mean that your feelings are heard?  Do you feel like you could share with him how frustrated you are by his actions and behavior?   If you are able to share your feelings and use "I" statements, then you may see a change in his behavior -- or not.  But at least you can be comfortable with knowing that you tired to make this a better situation. 
It is very important to make sure you are monitoring your own feelings and make sure you are taking care of yourself.  Keep reaching out and if you need to talk to someone....then give us a call sometime.

Take care,
