"Actually this just happened about a week or two ago. I liked this boy named Brian and my best friend was over and Brian showed up. That night she told me she kind of liked him and I got a little pushy. Not long after that, I told her it was obvious that she liked him a lot so I just let it go and now they are dating and I'm happy for them both."
--Ashley

"Well, first we didn't even know that we liked the same person like that so it was a surprise when we found out. We competed against each other for her attention and approval. In the end the girl ended up with ME of course. After my friend heard and saw that we were together, he got mad and wanted to fight me. I apologized to my friend later on though and we are still friends today."
--Russell, 12

"When I found out they were going out, I just found another crush."
--Megan, 12

"Hey everyone! Me and my best friend Alhexandria (no I didn't spell it wrong, she's just weird) had a crush on this really hot guy named Rick. Me and him were REALLY close friends and we liked each other but never really thought about dating b/c his best friend liked me and Alhexandria and him flirted a lot. So now I want to ask him out and so does she. Do you think I should give up and give him to her???"
--Kaci

"Two of my friends like this boy named Erik and he asked one of them out. Now they hate each other!! What do I do????"
--Becca, 11

"There's this really cute kid in my class. I get to sit right next to him and like a month ago or so I asked him out and he came back on Monday and said his mom and his sister told him to go out with me, but he said he thought it would interfere with his football playing. I told him it wouldn't but boys don't listen. I asked him out when I wasn't sitting by him and now I sit by him and he seems to not even remember it. It bugs me because I sure do! I'm wondering if I should ask him out again or if I should have one of my friends ask him out for me but I don't know. What should I do?"
--Jacky, 10

"It was me and my twin sister and the guy ended up going out with her but a week later he told her how he felt and went out with me and to this day we still go out.:)"
--Jayme

"Yes, I did. It was at the beginning of the year and I was friends with his sister. I met her at the pool but I knew her brother from science last year. Well, I started hanging out with him and introduced my friend to him. The next day we started hanging out with him. She started to like him and so did I. I asked him who he liked and he said me."
--Tiffany

"Me and my friend liked this same dude and I did not want to ask him out because if he said yes she may have been mad."
--Starra, 11

"Me and my friend both have a crush on the same guy. I have liked him for like EVER!!! Everyone used to make fun of me for liking him. He wasn't as popular as he is now and that's why. People used to tell me he was a freak and no one besides me would ever like him! Well guess what? Every girl wants to go out with him now. I'm just like HELLO! My one friend absolutely hated him until 7th grade started! I'm like her best friend but she never told me! One day on the bus I was raving about him and how much I thought he was TOTALLY HOT! I heard her mutter under her breath. (get this) 'I know what u mean!' I wuz like WHAT! So now we both rave over him together! I totally think she's gonna get him though! He gave her a 'Pet' name and sits next to her in classes and is CONSTANTLY talking to her! Now I'm just like whatever! I'm over it!"
--Ashleigh, 13

"Have you ever known somebody that you're not really friends with and then that person you like doesn't like you, they like that other person? Then somehow the person you like likes you now and then somehow you and that person you kinda know become best friends."
--Jenna, 10

"There is this guy I like. He knows I like him and we get along really well… SOMETIMES. Then my best friend asked him out and I was really upset. Today she broke up with him and I asked him out twice, both times being rejected. I am not sure if I should ask him out again or wait a while."
--Theresa

"Me and three of my best friends like the same guy. I think I like him the most. What am I supposed to do?"

"My friend Victoria loved Marshall in 3rd grade. Now Victoria does not like him anymore but I do and I never talk to him."
--Erika, 10

"I told her that I was tall and she was short and I liked him more than she did. So after that she just backed away."
--Staci, 11

"There is this guy that I really like and he knows that I like him but I don't know if he likes me back. I mean, I talk to him and he makes me laugh and he always is talking to someone else mostly and forgetting I'm there. I don't know what to do to get him to like me. Or notice me in a way that true boyfriends and girlfriends do."
--Kaitlyn, 13

"Once me and my friend had a huge crush on this guy at school but even though we both wanted to go out with him, we talked it over and we decided that neither of us were gonna go out with him because boys come and go, but really good friends are forever so we didn't go out with him at all. :) :) :):)"
--Monica, 13

"I like this guy. He is nice and funny. I told my friend about it who has a boyfriend and all of a sudden she gets weird around him. Then she says he likes her and says he said she was a hottie. I don't wanna hurt her but she is trying to steal him from me. He looks at me and smiles at me and is nice to me. Oh, he is so hot!"
--Jordan, 11

"My best friend Shanel likes the same boy I like. His name is Edwin. We dealt with it easily. We decided who liked him first. I liked him in 3rd grade and I'm going to be in 6th grade. She only liked him in 5th grade, so she let me have him. I think she's disappointed but we're still friends because no boy is going to get between me and my bff."
--Jacky, 11

--Jon, 13

"My friend and I liked 2 different guys at the same time. We both liked them a lot and one time she was over at my house and I let her check her mail on my computer. She signed on to AOL and checked her mail but the guy we both liked at that time was on and so she IM'd him 'Hey'. He asked if I was online because he had lost my screen name. She said no but she is standing right here beside me. He told her that he needed to talk to me so I said hi and all. He asked me if this other guy had already asked me out because this other guy liked me and was about to ask me out the next day. He was this guy's best friend so I said, 'No' and he said, 'Good.' Then he said, 'Will you go out with me?' and I wanted to so bad. I turned around and asked my friend if it would be alright with her and she really didn't want me to, but she knew how much I really liked him and all, so she said go ahead. I said yes and we went out for a long time but we broke up not too long ago. We are still really good friends."
--Caroline, 13

"Me and my friend liked the same guy and he asked her out. Now they are going out. What do I do? I still like this guy and I flirt with him and she gets mad at me but he flirts with me too and I try to tell her that, but she says it's not true but it is!!!!!"
--Maggie, 11

"I got really mad and didn't talk to her."

"I just told her he could have him. Then I found out he was a jerk and they stopped going out and now she has a new boy toy."
--Meg, 12

"I made sure that my friend didn't care if I asked him out. If they really are your friend they will most likely say no. Try it. I'm sure that it works."
--Ashley, 12

"Well, we sort of stopped talking because he ended up asking me and of course I said yes. She got mad and then we got into an argument and weren't talking for 2 months. Then me and the guy broke up and now neither one of us likes him. We are talking once again."
--Tiffany

"When I was 11, a boy named Luke asked me to be his girlfriend and I said 'Yes'. My friend had a boyfriend and one day she broke up with him and said 'I am not your friend anymore.' I was depressed and after a while she confessed that she didn't like me or her boyfriend anymore because she had a crush on my boyfriend. After a while, I broke up with him and two days later another guy asked me out and I said 'Yes'. Then a couple of weeks later, my ex-best friend was my friend again and her boyfriend was my ex-boyfriend. Then her ex-boyfriend asked a girl out and she said yes. Now we are all good friends."
--Gaby, 12

"My friend and I used to have a crush on the same guy. This guy was two years younger than us though and he was really immature. Even though it took a while, I got over it. Now just my friend has a crush on him. So my advice is to just wait it out. It might be hard but sooner or later, one of you will get over him/her."
--Aliah, 12

"Me and my friend both liked the same guy and then he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes. She got mad at me and we ended up getting into this huge fight about it. We didn't talk to each other and we threatened to jump each other for a month! Then we realized how stupid it was to lose a friendship over a guy and we are still really great friends now."
--Stephanie

"Well, my friend & me have a crush on the same boy. We didn't do anything about it."
--Crystal, 10

"Me and my friend still have a crush on the same person we went out with once. I'm the only one who knows about it. It's hard to keep it a secret but it has worked out for me so far."
--Laura, 12

"I like this guy but he is a year older than me and is my next door neighbor. I am scared to tell him I like him because I don't think he likes me and if he did I don't think he would admit it!"
--Alysha, 12

"Once me and my friend Ashley had a crush on Mathew. We had a fight and argued. And finally he broke up with Ashley and now he's my boyfriend."

--Ashley, 12

"There's this girl that has my dream date and he likes her and not me. I also have a boyfriend who's having suspicions that I like someone else. What should I do?"
--Katrina, 12

"We fought a bit but in the end I was the better man. I won my gf because she chose me over him and all three of us are still really good friends."
--Josh, 12

"My best friend Kailey and I were in the 7th grade and we liked the same guy named Nikolas. Kailey is really pretty and if he found out that she liked him, he would fall for her and that hurt me because every guy that I like always ends up hating me and going out with Kailey. We just settled our problems and talked it over and now we are better friends than we used to be."
--Talor, 13

"Hi. Me and my buddy Laurie both were gaga over a guy named Scott. She said she was prettier and I was about to strangle her when Derik caught her eye. We resolved it easily then (LOL)."
