Is she truly my friend? Am I truly her friend?

Question

My friend is so amazing. Amazingly beautiful, smart, funny and so sweet. She has a boyfriend, but all the boys still chase her. She doesn't led any of them on and tries to get them to notice me (I'm single). They don't- they just keep looking at her. She doesn't even dress s**y.. very casual. She's a natural beauty. I have to work at it.

My question is simple. Is she my friend because the attention she gets from the boys is addicting or does she really like me. We share so much and she has been nothing but sweet to me since I moved here. She has given me alot of information, advice and ideas for school and meeting boys. She's given me beauty tips (only when I ask, she keeps telling me I'm really pretty). She even offered to go out to the local bar tonight- to meet some boys on campus.

But she's sooooooo d**n pretty! No one will look at me. Am I just really jealous of her?Should I be?

Answer 1

Yes, you are really friends. And yes, it's natural to envy her beauty. Don't worry about boys, when they mature, they become less superficial. If you're with her and feeling neglected, say to her, "I'm going to go inside that store. Meet me in there when you're ready". You aren't required to stand around being ignored.

UPDATE: Sorry, I meant being ignored by the boys who are paying 100% attention to her. You don't have to stand there until they are gone.

Answer 2

Well first of all, we do not have any control of our looks. Because thats the way God made us. But we can use methods to enhance those features etc, hence the use of makeup.

May be she is conciously aware of the fact that she gets too much attention from boys (she enjoyes it trust me), but also wants you to get the attention too. I would suggest that you should have a life of your own too, besides hanging out with her a lot. Another thing, girl, and get this straight. YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT YOU ARE PRETTY. And you do not need any verifcation from any of your bestest freinds. Its just how confidently you carry yourself, that really matters in the long run. Guys notice confidence, and the way you carry yourself, even if a girl is not waaay pretty. Its all in the head my love!! Join the gym, and try and spend a little time away from your newfound freind and do the things that YOU really like and would like to do!! That would boost your self confidence. Hope that helps!!

Answer 3

It sounds like you are jealous of her.  If she is really full of herself and doesn't care you or anybody else, then she is not truly your true friend.  You might find another friend who appreciates you.
