Why is my best friend being this way?

[heyyy_jude_]

Everytime I get a boyfriend she starts acting weird about them. when i broke up with one boyfriend she kept implying that he liked her and then she kept bringing him up knowing that me and him didn't get along. Another one she kept talking about how cute he was and randomly bringing him up. She was even showing her friend his picture. My current one: she'll randomly start touching his hair when she sees me doing it. she told him "you'll always be my teddy bear", randomly right in front of my face.
I know this seems like a little situation, but I'm just confused because I don't know how to handle this without hurting her feelings or offending her. I don't want to ruin our friendship because we've gotten into an argument already.

Is getting with guys a new thing? If it is, she might just not be used to it yet and could think that some boy is gonna take her place as far as her being important to you.

All I gotta say is this: Hey Jude, don't make it bad, Take a sad song and make it better, Remember to let her into your heart, Then you can start to make it better. Your username is awesome.

Maybe she is kind of jealous, idk...I guess she is really good friends with your bf now? My best friend had this girlfriend, and me and her were really close and we even held hands and stuff, I've also been very close this girls with boyfriends although the boys weren't my friends, but we cuddled and stuff, so maybe it isn't that weird.

Whatever it is, you need to talk her down and sort this out. That is not okay at all IMO =\ be very direct and honest. It won't help if you go all typical girl and say "look, I know what you've been doing and you know it too". NO, nobody knows nothing because none of you people read each other's mind (whoops sorry I'm not being mean honest). Don't be afraid to hurt her feelings really because I can't even imagine a word you could say to insult her. Worst case scenario is she feels embarrassed and starts hiding behind blind rage.

I think she may be jealous of your boyfriends taking her spot and you pushing her to the side, as stated above. People start doing weird things when they feel like they are no longer wanted. Another thing is, maybe she is getting jealous of you having a boyfriend, and her being single?:what:

Whatever it is just try and talk it through with her. Reassure her that no matter who you are dating she will always be your best friend. Ask her why she is doing it took that'll help explain some things. If she is doing them to be weird. Then we may have a problem

Sounds like she's got a competitive edge to her. Unfortunately, it also sounds like she's either not got a lot of tact and isn't wary of whether she has the potential to hurt your feelings; or that she isn't even the friend type to you at all.

As an alternative, she might very well not realise that what she's doing is inappropriate? If this becomes a recurrent issue, I'd suggest subtly suggesting that it's something you don't appreciate, then voice your thoughts more openly if she still doesn't react accordingly.

Keep us posted?

She is scared that she is going to lose her best friend when a boyfriend comes along. She has every right to be worried too, because it does happen. It's up to you to reassure her that you are her best friend, you do appreciate her and that you spend a lot of time with her still despite having a boyfriend. I think if you do this, things will change for the better. Good luck.
