My best friend's daughter keeps making advances at me, she is 23, smart, and beautiful, what should I do?

Slow down, Daddy's Best Friend.  Her smiles do not necessarily mean she's coming on to you.  Older men are naturally flattered by the slightest bit of attention from an attractive young woman; don't read more into her actions, or your reaction, than is likely to be there.  Be pleasant and polite and keep your hands to yourself.

I am assuming, perhaps erroneously, that you are rather young.  I think you should respond with maturity and grace and be polite to them.  You are not required to be their friend, but unless they are harming you in some way, I think you should try to be kind.  Then you will not look back later and wish you had been nicer.\n\nEdit:  I think we need more info.  If this person is a stalker, you should follow the anti-stalker advice.  If you are 12 and you just don't like the way this person dresses or something, you should follow my advice.  As for confronting someone and telling them to go away, I don't remember ever having to do this.  I've always been able to finesse a clear but kind response, i.e., they know I'm not particularly interested in hanging around with them, but I don't come right out and say it.  \n\nWe will be able to give better advice with more info.

What a scary question to have to ask.  If you see signs of him giving her the wrong kind of attention, listen to your instincts and pay very close attention to his behavior towards her.  I think this is one of those things people brush off, thinking it's their imagination.  I don't know how old she is, but I'd say talk to your daughter about him, see how she feels about him.  And if you haven't before, talk to her about her body and other's bodies.  You may want to talk to him too, which is obviously an awkward thing to do.  Her safety is of course number one though.  Above all, when you have such suspicions, don't ever give anyone the benefit of the doubt.

Your friend is very insecure- if she can make you look bad she feels superior.\n\nYou need to find another best friend because if she were truly your friend she would not do the things she does to you.\n\nWith friends like her you certainly do not need any enemies

Tell her that you won't let her do that to you anymore.  If she values your friendship, then you need to let her know that you will not allow her to continued to do this.  People will always walk all over you until they know that they can't.  YOu have to stick up for yourself.  Don't talk to her for a week or so.  Then call her up and say.....next time, it will be over.  Don't treat me like that anymore.

well, there is something you have to learn in life, and it might as well start now. there will be people like this.\nYou need to accept it.\nAs for solutions, when she brags make it your thing to build her up more. she sounds insecure, so if she is bragging about being so popular, tell her that you think its great that she gets along well with so many different people. If she is looking to you for affirmation of her awesomeness, give it to her and she can move on.\nHow does she embarass you?

I have to be honest, if you see this girl pull her aside and tell her if she lands another finger or if you see her talking to your daughter you will take matters into your own hands. If she tells anybody else you threatened her.deny it..your the adult, then most likely the parents will start looking into it. I am serious! It works.

This is when you separate the "women from the girls"...Be Strong!  Believe me when I say, you are not alone in this.  It's happened to most of us and it's not a good feeling, but you do get over it....it just doesn't feel like it right now.  When people feel intimidated by you, they feel the need to boost their own shaky self esteem by putting someone else down and because your best friend probably knows everything about you, you are an easy target for her.  For whatever reason (she's jealous, you are prettier, you are smarter, whatever) she's decided to ambush your friendship.  The best thing you can do is to take the high road and don't sweat it.  The more people see that this bothers you the more they are going to tear you apart over it.  Blow it off and move on to new friends.  BUT..play your cards close to the vest for a while until you are sure you can trust them.  And you never know...maybe she's a friend who can redeem herself and who just made a mistake...only you can be the judge of that.  But if you do become friends again...go slow.  Are you sure you can ever really trust her again?  Good Luck.

Sounds like they are both playing you.  She is NOT a friend if she could do this to you.  Even if she doesn't have a lot going for her, it's just an unwritten rule that you don't go after people that you know your friend likes!

PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE:\nMiss.T,I dont think its such a great idea 2 be friends with your daughter because after awhile,they will look at you only as their friend and not as their parent.Im 18 years old & I thank my mother every chance I get because I graduated from high school when I was 16 without her trying to be my friend,although she most definently is'nt my enemy.Yeah my mother was a good friend of mine,but she knew when and where the limits were...she knew she had 2 be a mother 85% of the time with me;and a friend 15% of the time.Put it this way...if you need your bills to be paid and you cant call on your friend(your daughter),then you shouldnt try 2 hard to please her as a friend as much as a mother.If your daughter has a good head on her shoulder,then she will appreciate how good you are trying to be with her;whether you want to be her friend or not.She will thank u in the future if you be more of a mother to her than a friend;because trust me...Im sure she has enough people trying to be her friend....Love Always;misslady2205

She is young enough to be your daughter. Maybe think about that one before you rob the cradle. There is no way she has anything in common with you.

If she has been your best friend for a long time, I would encourage you to not make a hasty decision. You can find friends (and even boyfriends) anywhere, but best friends take years to grow. You should do your best to save this friendship before calling it quits.\n\nMy advice is talk to her before you take the final step of "de-friending" her. Explain to her that you've valued her friendship, but that her current behavior isn't excusable. Confront her about her rudeness, and don't be afraid to name specific times and places where she acted like a bee-yotch. She apparently USED to act nice, because otherwise you never would have been friends with her. Remind her of those days. Finally, tell her (in very clear terms) that if she doesn't start acting right, you want nothing to do with her.\n\nThis puts all of the pressure on her, see? If she changes her evil ways, then you've kept your best friend and are better off than before. If she doesn't, at least it isn't your fault that the friendship ended. Anyway, I wish you the best of luck. Hopefully your friend will see the light, but if not... at least the blame will be on her head, not yours.

You could tell her to leave you alone, but I doubt that would work seeing that you're going through the trouble of posting a question. Hitting her will put you in a worse off position than you're in right now, besides, there are far better looking women outside Juvenile camp or Jail... even if they're getting on your nerves.\n\nHere are 2 ways to fix your problem:\n\n1) Tell her parents that you're being harassed by this girl\n\n+Ouch, ain nothing like parents saying "my daughter did what?!" haha\n\n2) Tell your teacher about the situation and urge her to talk to the girl privately as to not put your business in the hallways\n\n+This is risky because if she's a bully she might start teasing you about going to the teacher, but if she's just an average problem child go right ahead\n\nIf you're serious about getting rid of her, I'm sure this advice will work for you. Good luck.

That is rough. I have been there myself. If she continues to push herself on you even after you have told her no then she doesn't respect you or your feelings. She is being self centered. You make it very clear to her how it makes you feel.Tell her that if she keeps it up you will no longer be friends and you will be forced into pressing charges against her with the police for harassment.Your best bet after that is to avoid her best you can.Keep busy with other things.

She has already apologized and personally I don't feel an apology was necessary.  Her friend didn't date the other guy, or make out with him, in fact, she turned him down so there was no friendship rule broken.  The friend should have spoken up to your daughter and let her know she was just toying with the guy.  Hopefully the friend learned her lesson not to play games with people cus it could blow up in your face; as it did.  Also, your daughter shouldn't be soo quick to make out with anyone. This friend doesn't seem or sound like a friend to me anyway.  Tell your daughter to move on.
