Question
my friend is in love with a guy but that guy is a very big flirt. i tried to tell her many times what his true colour is, but she never believes me. she keeps on telling me that he is staring at her. she once secretly send my 3 friends to see if he is really staring at her or not, but the answer came back No! i think that she is mad about him telling me what to do, cause she has been worse in her exams and other activities.
Answer
Sadly, there is little anyone can do about love - it takes hold of us sometimes and we become silly! She will need to learn about this boy in her own time, but you can all listen to her and keep encouraging her to keep up with her studies and not let him take advantage of her. You are a good friend, and that will matter!
