Tips: HoW tO DeAL wiTh fRiEndS aNd LoVers

1. Never steal a boyfriend or a girlfriend away from a friend. There are no excuses. NONE.
2. Its best not to get involved with an ex of your friend. There are some exceptions to this, but not many.
3. If you know a friend has a crush on or is interested in someone, leave that person alone for now.
4. Always make time for your friends. Of course you want to spend time with your boyfriend/ girlfriend, but dont spend all your time with them. Make sure that you have plans with your friends and that you keep them.
5. If you know that your friends boyfriend or girlfriend got with someone else, tell them. Its never fun to deliver bad news, but its better to hear it from a friend than someone else.
6. There are circumstances when your friend will really need you. Its important to show him or her that he or she matters enough to you that you will cancel plans you have with your boyfriend or girlfriend. If this friend has emergencies all the time, thats a different matter.
7. If possible, spend time together in a group. Everyone likes to feel included, and this can work out great for all.
8. If you have a significant other and your friend does not, try not to talk about your girlfriend/ boyfriend all the time. Talk about other things
9. It doesnt hurt to play Cupid every now and then. Of course, its important to be up-front and honest about playing matchmaker and only do so when both parties are willing.
10. There are cases when no matter what you say or do to your friend is just not going to get over your new relationship. In this case, all the above guidelines arent going to make a difference. If you find yourself in a situation where a friend is refusing to come around, back off. See if giving your friend some space will help. If he or she insists on being jealous and unsupportive, I think its time to call the friendship quits. Think about it. Do you want a friend who doesnt want you to have love life...ever?
