My friend is with the wrong guy.

Okay…so my friend is going out with a guy called Steve. They’ve been going out for about 3 months. Way back in April, her best friend Matthew asked her to his formal, before she was going out with Steve, right? Anyway, they’re going just as friends, and my friend told her boyfriend about it last week. He started getting really angry at her, yelling at her and calling her selfish and stuff like that.

But there’s more. She’s liked Matt for a really long time, and while she likes her boyfriend heaps she really wants to be with this other guy, who cares so much more about her. He likes her too, but she didn’t tell him that she was going out with Steve and when Matt saw them together he was really hurt that she hadn’t told him and all. He really cares. Like last weekend, it was her birthday. Matthew called her and they talked for about an hour, but Steve, her boyfriend, only sent her a text message.

What do you think I should do to help her, as she’s feeling really hurt? Or should I just butt out of it all together?
Sorry if this is really confusing.

Sounds like steve would be free that night, maybe you should go out with steve that night. Hey since she’s going out with another guy why can’t steve go out with another girl. assuming you’re a girl

Your friend, for whatever reason, misread Matt’s intentions. Matt obviously likes your friend, but she didn’t pick up on that, although he had invited her to the prom. Now your friend started dating another guy, after she decided that maybe she really liked Matt better, after all. Your friend needs to get her head screwed on straight. She seems to be clueless about how a guy would feel about her, although he invited her to the prom, which is a big deal. Let your friend figure out what she needs to do. She’s pretty flighty, though, from your description of her.
