well michael, freinds are like diamond, they are really expensive but if broke, it worths nothing......so be careful in making friend.....now you say he's bad and all that..so what did you saw in him, in the first place? just say to him what you feel about him....in a good manner....if he doesn't respond properly then start ignoring him and look busy to him.....soon he'll be  off wiht another............do you get it?

You had a fantastic best answer to another question.  I would use it here:  Behind every jerk lies a story.  You may never understand what the issue is, it may be because of you-or them.  Think about it, decide if a conversation (not confrontation) about it is in order, then flesh it out and/or move on.

Your friend just creates negativity in your life, you've done your part and she will never change her mind.  You should leave her alone and make friends with more intelligent people.

I had a friend like that! First she was very jealous of me and then when i told her to go to hell (because she was criticising me always) she tried to do bad things against me but i didnt care  because she was not my friend anymore.

Maybe their jealous of your friendship.  You don't have to prove anything to them, if you did like him, that's between your friend and you and NOBODY else.  Your friend shouldn't let his friends interfere with your friendship with him and if he's allowing that to happen, he isn't a very good friend.

Yeah...next time you're alone with the jerk, tell him you're not going to be treated that way again in front of his friends/gf's etc.  If he can't respect you while others are around, he doesn't need to talk to you at all.  Godloveya.

You seem like a very nice person. At some point, you have to quit letting them treat you like dirt. It could be because somehow you value or long for their friendship. Make them see things from your point of view for once. Some people are just mean, and they do not consider the feelings of others.But, some of these excuses (although they seem lame to you) could be for real. If the same person is doing this over and over ( 3 is my magic number), drop them like a hot potato. Not everyone is like that.

Your not a bad friend your a great friend! He will never shape up and be the man he needs to be. besides that hes not even a man yet he is still a kid, and he is headed no where fast. But please don't give up on your friend because she needs you. She may not know it now but she'll see. Just be there when she needs you and no i told you so. Because believe me she already knows.

if he's your friend he wont hate you for being honest. just talk to him and let him know you don't have the same feelings and it's not fair for him to love someone that don't love him back.

Give it a little more time. Maybe he needs time to adjust, or he's afraid you're attracted to him. If you're not, you need to tell him. If you are and he's distancing himself because of that, well that's too bad but it happens all the time with heterosexuals too. If the friendship is supposed to be platonic and he keeps ignoring you, I guess he is not the kind of person you want to have around.

I dont think youre wrong at all. Any real friends would not tolerate someone talking about you in that way. Because they didnt stand up for you, they might as well have agreed with the jerk. What a slap in the face! Im so sorry. But it looks to me like it may be time to move on and make some new friends. Thats probably not what you want to hear but you are too good for them!

I had two, and one was a complete jerkoff!  He abused me, for instance, verbally and physically.  I kicked his butt to the curb!  The next one was the sweetest thing ever.  We stayed together for 2 1/2 years, and split up, but we are still friends.  You just have to find out the character of the guy, not his past.

I don't think anybody else can really help you with this, brotha. It's all based on the decision you make. My advice is if you're digging her, go for her. If you want to be a jerk, go for everybody else. It's not that I'm calling you a jerk, but how do you think she would feel about the whole thing?

When that happened to me many years ago, it was devastating to loose a friend who I thought was "a friend."  Now, as time passed, I figured that she was an acquaintance, some one who comes & goes in your life time.  If she was that weak minded to just take his word for something as important as that without consulting you to straighten it out, then she's not your friend.  Get a new one who values your friendship.

well i guess for this time i can't talk to him/her for a moment (after he/she cool down). maybe around a week or 2 weeks.. if he/she had a very bad temperament you should wait around a month.. anyway, i've ever misunderstood a friend.. the main story is about the same as yours. and my friend (she) got a really bad temperament, i do anything to make her happy.. so she didnt answer my call, didnt reply my sms, also didnt reply my message on friendster, i send a letter to her house.. and she never reply any single letter. and our friendship end there.. ToT i've never gonna make any mistake again. i will treat my friends nicely
