I have a friend who is a boy and I have known him for a while. I also have started to really like him. He has a girlfriend who I have heard he is going to break up with soon. Also at the dance he didnt hang out with her and hung out with me for a little bit of it.(half an hour). We have a lot in common and I love talking to him. He smiles at me in the hallway and I find him staring at me sometimes. The thing is his girlfriend has some weird problem with us being friends. What should I do?

If you were in her shoes, wouldn't you have a problem with your boyfriend having a girl-friend that he spends a lot of time with and often pays more attention to than yourself? Of course you would. She's jealous and apparently for a good reason. You like her boyfriend (I'm sure she noticed) and he might like you that way too (she probably noticed that too). So while their days together might be numbered, for now she is still his girlfriend and she has every right to be upset at someone who's just waiting to take her boyfriend away. Even if she doesn't really like him anymore, it's still an insult to her that she's not attractive enough to him that she can't even keep his attention on her.
So what she's doing is perfectly normal. I'd give her and her boy some space. If he approaches you, that's fine, but while they are together you should let them be. Continue being his friend but don't make any advances until they break up. It's the right thing to do. If he wants to be with you he needs to cut things off with her. Otherwise he's just "trading up" and that doesn't say much about his character, if he's being so disrespectful to his current girlfriend that he's going to stay with her until he knows for sure you guys have something going. Because if that's what he's doing then what guarantee do you have that he won't do the same thing to you? So let him break up with her and only then show him more attention than just as a friend. Take care.
