awkward relationship

[sampelly5]

there is this girl who i have been friends with since we were in preschool and i always have had a crush on her. i know she used to like me a few years ago but then im not sure what happened. a while later i notice the girl starts giving me the cold shoulder and starts acting quiet around me. i soon find out from my friends that she has a boyfriend from her best friends old school. lots of people knew about it (including me) but she doesnt even know/want me to know about him. im not mad that she is dating this guy, thats her choice and i respect it, but im mad that she didnt even tell me about him. i thought we were friends but now i have second thoughts. obviously she doesnt like me i THAT way, but do you think she likes me as a friends?

when replying can guys tell me what i need to do to stay friends with her and girls explain why she would act the way she did

Maybe the reason she isn't talking to you is because she doesn't want you to know about this new guy. Maybe she thought you'd be jealous or she felt bad about dating someone else. Just approach her and continue talking about what you usually talk about. I think it would be best to continue your usual conversations so you can show her that nothing has changed and you still consider her to be your friend no matter who she's dating. Again I wouldn't even mention the other guy but the moment she mentions him just act really cool with it. Best of luck! Hope I helped!

She probably doesn't want you to know for some reason, and it could be one of several. You just need to let it go for now, I wouldn't say anything. Not really a lot to do but enjoy your life.

You say you have known each other since preschool? Well the fact is as we grow up we change and so do our friends. This typically happens somewhere around jr high and one of the reasons is because thats where most public schools fist combine with other elementry schools and all of a sudden we have new people to meet. Old friends drift apart and new friends become closer. I'm just telling you this because this goes on everywhere and people often wonder why someone they were close to in grade school has driffted away.

Ok now to your problem. She's proably not giving you the cold shoulder so much as she has become indifferent to you. She's got a bf and i'm sure along with that she gained some new friends or at least friends in his circle. You say she dosen't like you that way and i'm guessing your talking about as bf material and your proably right on this assumption. The answer to your last question. I doubt she even gives your old friendship any thought and moved on and unless something happens in here life that brings you guys into the same circle it's proably not going to happen. keep in mind I doubt she did this maliciously it sometimes just happens and your perception i'm sure is quite different than hers of the who sitiuation.
