There is a guy named Matt. I've known him since 5th grade (I'm going into 9th now). I talked to him everyday in 5th grade. I never had classes with him in 6th. In 7th I talked to him almost everyday. And in 8th he was the only person I talked to in my science class! In Dec or so of 8th grade a kinda started to get real feelings for him. I told my closest friend, Kathleen. I talked about him for like month, but then one day when I didn't talk about him Kathleen said this, "I think I like Matt. And we have this vibe and connection. I know he likes me, he is always looking at me in math." I didn't say anything! I was so shocked she would do this! So I tried not to like him, while she tried flirting with him. Then after a while she decided she didn't like him anymore. I never talked bout him again. But I just saw him a week ago and I can't get him out of my mind! I really like him now! And I told Kathleen this and she told me about their "vibe and connection" again. What do I do! Thanks!

Boys come and go but friends are forever. However, why would you want to keep a friend like this.
I'd tell the guy you like him. Life is too short to play games. If he feels the same way about you, great. If not, then you can move on knowing that you tried.
As for Kathleen tell her that you didn't appreciate the fact that she went after a guy you said you liked him. Friends don't do that to their friends.

There are two points here which you should clearly understand.First your friend Kathleen says she likes matt and you also say that K "TRIED FLIRTING "with him. So you are not sure whether she ACTUALLY FLIRTED with him. Then K did not like him anymore. So actually Matt is not having a vibe for her. So why feel bad. Secondly you have never expressed your vibe to MATT which you should. Probably he rejected K because he likes
you. Dont worry much about it .Keep talking to him and be friendly to him.Then probably you may know his real intentions.Avoiding him is cheating yourself. Never think K as your competitor. All the best.

First thing you need to do is ditch your friend Kathleen. It sounds like she only wants him because you do, and that's not a good friend to have. She'll probably do the same with any guy you like, and will probably try to steal any boyfriend you have.
As far as Matt, if you like him...go for it. Don't let this chic get in your way.

If Kathleen really is your friend, you have to forget about Matt.
If you really like Matt, tell Kathleen your feelings are stronger than hers because you know him more.
Tell him you like him. Nothing to lose... right?

u know what? ur friend seems kinda like a ***** to me since she's always trying to "snatch" matt away from u...sorry if i've offened u but that's just my opinion.
anyway i think u should just go along with ur feelings. forget abt that friend of urs. she didn't even consider how u might have felt when u told her u liked matt! Go look for someone else that u can really count on to confide ur feelings to...u go girl!

When I was in highschool the same thing happened to me. Turned out this person wasn't really my friend because true friends don't do that to each other. If you show her that you aren't interested in this Matt anymore I bet she won't be. You should pretend to be interested in someone else and I bet she'll be interested in that person too...

Dump your friend Kathleen.

She didn't value your friendship enough to back-off and give you the same opportunity you gave her, so I'd say that you make a run for him and see if he is interested in you. If he is...then go out with him (regardless of her feelings).
In the end, if she is your friend she will be happy for you...not mad at you.
