How do you deal with a friend that always gets the guys?

she's really nice and way prettier than me but I feel like everywhere we go the guys I look at look right past me. I like to say I have confidence but let's admit it, after so many times that happens it takes its toll. I just don't know what to do. :(

The right guy will notice you even if your friend is drop dead gorgeous.

Get her a good boyfriend that she will end up marrying and then having kids with, once the kids wreck her body, take her clubbing! the guys will look at you to avoid looking at her haha! That's long term, you could also go somewhere without her, or realize that guys looking at her want one thing and then will leave her and that is not the kind of guy that you need. Unless that's the kind you want, in which case hit me up:) haha JK tell your friend i said hi though! Kidding again, sorry...

yea I have the same issue... I make sure and tell her who I like, so she knows not to go after him. She is really good with relationships too! all the guys want her. I just stand in the background. Smiling. :P yea It really sucks! even some of my girl-friends have asked if she is bi! the best thing is to get advice from her.

Ellipsical

Well, you just be a good friend to her, if she is a good friend to you. It's not her fault the guys like her, and she should enjoy the attention. She's not around you all the time, is she? You must talk to guys, too. You probably have some confidence issues and aren't seeing things clearly. I'm sure the boys will like you too, if you give them a chance.

Novio, the guys she's attracting are not the ones you want, assuming you want a guy with more depth than an earthworm.
Quietly use her as a litmus test, to weed out the players.

I had a friend like that in high school she was always the center of attention no matter where we went all eyes were on her. but Im telling you after she would get the guys most of them always seemed to turn to me later and say I should have dated you instead bc you are beautiful inside and out. so no matter how your friend looks beauty is only skin deep it's whats inside that matters.

Learn from her mistakes.. You don't want all of the guys, you want one good one!

If you go get a makeover, you may find it gives you an air of confidence. That translates into sexy vibes that men resonate with. Tell her that you will be happy to go out with her (dancing or whatever) but if a guy asks you to dance, she is not to flirt with him until you say it's cool. Poaching is a bad habit of gals who need the ego boost from snagging someone else's guy.

Alaysia: you're being way too hard on yourself - you got to get a few facts straight about teen years: fist, guys are knuckleheads - they don't mature nearly as fast as girls; next, humans change constantly - they're crazy attractive one month and the next they have a down turn - followed by an upturn - like a roller coaster ride - when you're a teen - this change is super rapid - next week you could be the stella beauty - just don't buy into all the superficiality, next - everyone has several "peaks" in attractiveness - depending on your age group - what if you wake up tomorrow and you look on the mirror and you see a drop-dead gorgeous face looking back at you - are you still "you"? See what I mean? The external is dynamic - the internal you is what can overpower any guy - worthy of you. Be happy for your friend's time in the sun - but now you know the secret - the real young woman inside of you is more powerful than any superficial beauty - humans "adapt" to faces - and if there's nothing else inside - they get bored quick.
