Me and my best friend have been best friends since third grade when we both came to the same school at the same time in our lives. We did everything together, stayed at each others' houses every night even weekdays, and we did the same sports and talked about the same things. We grew up together and now are both Juniors in High School. We like the same things, listen to the same music, still play the same sports, we talk about the same stuff, we act the same half the time. also to make this into a weird situation we both have tons of freckles, and our birthdays' are only four days apart. We are both even strait edge. We dont and wont use any type of drugs. Including alcohol and tobacco. We are generally the same person besides a few key points.

The only things that are different about us are that I'm smarter. Out of a class of 65 i'm ranked 8th and he's ranked high 30's low 40's. Also I'm way more responsible. he's the kind of kid that will go steel a four-wheeler for a joy ride and gets grounded for it, and he trespasses property to roam around in forests and stuff. I'm the kid that follows the rules in front of adults, and will slightly bend them enough to get around them, and i never get in trouble because i never get caught for one thing, but because i talk to adults and kind of suck up. One more thing is that I've got myself a job and i own a car. My friend doesn't have a car because we passed out on the wheel while driving (he was dehydrated from our football practice) and he drove into a ditch and trashed it, and he doesn't have a job b/c he just doesn't bother trying. Anyways. Those are the main things that make us our own person

Since we are grown up we face new challenges such as liking girls and getting turned down, and homework, stuff like that. same old high school troubles. Since we like the same things and are interested in the same stuff, we sometimes like the same girl. It doesn't matter who meets the girl first and gets a crush on her first, we both sometimes end up liking the same girl. One instance was my first love, (call her AMP b/c that's her initials) AMP i liked her first. I dated her first. We broke up and we still talked and became best friends but i never got over her.. My best friend went after her while me and her were about to date again, I wasnt over her and he went and kissed her right in front of me at a football game (after ours) when she just got done telling me that she wants to give us another try. that made me snap. I was never the same. From that moment on he wasnt my best friend. He was a big douchebag asshole ex-best friend. I never talked to him again....until a while ago.

It's extremely hard to give up your best friend that has been ur only real friend since 3rd grade. so we are starting to be friends again, and AMP has been out of the picture for both of us for a while. She's still my best friend and i love her like crazy, and I KNOW he still likes her, but on the side, he started liking this girl named Sam...but he had a girlfriend...so he kind of gave up on her while he had a girlfriend. Since he gave up on her i kind of did a bad thing and started talking to her, and me and her have been talking for about three months. and he recently broke up with his girlfriend. he automatically things he has dibs on her and starts taking to her while im talking to her. Two days after he broke up with his girlfriend of a year and a quarter..... She starts to like him back. she has liked me a little bit, but not as much as she likes him. All the sudden i'm getting a text from this girl that we've become good friends and thought about dating....the text saying "______ doesn't really want me texting you, so i think we can't text anymore"........"now what's up with this bullshit" is what i'm thinking. "How can you be such a b**ch and do something like that to me?"

After that I asked her why not me? she then tells me "you just arent my type. Ur too sensitive. blah blah blah" and then i explain how me and him are the same person in different bodies, and that I am actually a better catch because i have a job, a car, im smarter, i don't get get in trouble, I make good decision.... (also i mentioned how my friend has cheated on girls...ALOT. he's a major player/manwhore) and then she replys "I never thougt of it that way. Ur right." but then she follows that up with "he doesn't want me texting you. I love him. ".........now i'm sitting her..thinking to myself..."wtf. fml..I've got no friends besides her, my best friend AMP (who i love but i cant get to like me back but we still are best friends and she knows i like her), and my ex bestfriend that i can't seem to stop being friends with because we've been together our whole life practically.

I don't really have a question or anything. I just needed somewhere to vent , etc. I would appreciate comments on how i can bounce back, how to get over it, how to find someone new, etc. but if not then that's fine. I'm going to be leaving for the Navy when i graduate high school in a year and a half anyways. No girl wants to date someone knowing they will be out of their life in a year. Thanks for reading if you get this far. I know it was long Thanks again.

Just think about this, your best friend has hurt your feelings more than once because of girls. I don't know, I wouldn't let something like how long you've known each other get in the way of it. People change as time goes by, and maybe your friend has just changed for the worst. Sometimes you just have to stop contact with people. It seems like this guy doesn't really care if he hurts your feelings or not. I mean, since he made the girl stop talking to you, which is so dumb because she can make her own decisions. But he was the one who made it happen. It's your choice, you can always stay his friend. Find another girl maybe. I mean, there are so many other girls since you're in high school.

In all honesty, you should just tell him how you feel. If he still wants to act that way to you, he will and you will know it's not worth it to get mixed up in all these girl problems, etc. with him.

Perseus and Madness: Exactly! I've tried more than once to tell him that we've grown apart..we may like the same things some time but the main things we like are different. and i've told him how i feel, and he tries acting like he cares. He tries telling me he's sorry that he's ever stole a girl from me, and then he goes and says that "this girl is different. I've never felt like this about any girl before. I wouldn't ever do anything to hurt her" which is bullshit b/c how many times has he said that about the girl before (rhetorical quesiton. the answer is that he's always said that about every girl before this one) so i told him that...and I told him that I don't want anything to do with him anymore..I also convinced this girl to stay talking to me and be friends regardless what my (ex) friend tries telling her to do. I kind of took my own action on this situation before i could get advice, so it was kind of worthless to put it up here, but I felt better after venting about it.
