How do i make my best friend feel better - she is single and has been for a long time and i have just met my soul mate. I know she is a bit upset. I try to include her but i cant help feeling that she is angry with me.

Maybe shes just worried that you will lose your friendship because you will be spending all your time with him, this often happens when friends pair off. Reassure her that you will still spend lots of time together doing the things you do now, make a big effort with her, spoil her for a while until she gets used to the idea and realises nothing is going to change. Dont put up with any bad behaviour from her though, its understandable that she is feeling a little threatened and maybe jealous but if she is a good mate she should be happy for you.

It is not your job to make her feel better, and if she was really your best friend she would be happy that you've found your soulmate. Tell her to get out there and meet somebody for herself. The only way she's going to be happy is in a relationship of her own.

Tell her that boys are selfish, stuck up and arogant people, who will just dump you at this age. Tell her that you need to look for a boy that spotty, but got a good personality. As, they are more likely to like you for personality instead of what you look like. As, a result they are likely to stay with your best mate longer than a boy that is fit, because boys that are fit tend to just care about a persons looks. It is also harder to go out with a boy that is good looking because the gorgeous boys tend to have bad personality, where as more ugly boys tend to have a good personality.
Trust me I used to fancy a boy called Tom Duxburry in my Year 11 at St Cecelia's R.C Technology College, because he was absolutely drop, dead gorgeous. However, he was constantly nasty and unkind to me throughout my 5 years at high school. So, even though he was absolutely beautiful with brown eyes and a freackly clear face and had a crop of giner hair he was downright nasty and so where the other boys in all year 11 that were gorgeous.
Tell your friend that the top tip is to go out with boys that are spotty, or ache and ugly, as they have a better personality than the ones that are beautiful.

Make sure you spend time with her on your own not just with you and your boyfriend she needs to feel that you still want her friendship and that things have not changed that much.
She's most likely worried that you don't want the same friendship you had now you have a boyfriend, please bear in mind that friends generally last longer than boyfriends do

Yeah if she is a true freind she will be happy for you both and realize that you cant spend as much time with her as you used too.

stop trying to protect her
and if she is ur best friend she should be happy for you not angry. i think you are being a little bit too sensitive.
speak to her see what she says rather than jump to conclusions?

It sounds to me like she's a little jealous. Tell her that he has lots of friends that you can introduce her to.

She's jealous, not angry. Talk to her about it quietly when you are alone together.
