I have this friend who's a girl that is getting ready to go out with a guy that she started seeing before he broke up with his girlfriend. I've tried everything I can to tell her that it is a bad idea because being a guy, I know exactly the type of guy this is and how he will treat her. What can I say to her to keep her from going out with him or will she ignore me no matter what I say?
You already tried to tell her right? Sometimes people need to find out for themselves. Any girl who's willing to be a side 'piece' is pretty desperate anyway.
There's an old saying that goes, "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink." If your friend is an adult, let her figure this relationship out on her own.
She won't see your advice as a friendly gesture if she's really into this guy.
The best and most effective lessons learned are by experience. Let her learn for herself. She already went into this thing knowing he had a girlfriend, you can warn her but I'm sure she's willing to accept whatever risk is involved if she's gotten this far.
Thing is, is with women and people in general, if they want something, they're going to take it.
She wants this guy. Let her have this guy and let her get mistreated. The only way she's going to learn is through experience if she refuses to listen.
Tough love is sometimes the best kind.
And yes, I was in your shoes once, after the first time, I stopped. I learned that people often refuses to listen, and my time is more valuable than blowing hot air at a wall.
Isn't the real question "why doesn't she go out with me instead"?
So I was not the only one who saw what was posted and read that .
edit: if you really mean what's written, the answer is she either has a really strong crush on him and has thrown reason to the wind, or is just interested in him for fun and doesn't particularly care. Either extreme and it makes sense.
If you mean what sierra and I think you mean, it's because you write poorly disguised "OH GOD WHY DOES SHE LIKE THAT JERK AND NOT A NICE GUY LIKE ME" posts on the internet.
Who said this guy is so bad? I would leave any girl for my current girlfriend time after time, does that make me one of "those guys who will mistreat her"?
I'm going with sierra on this one, say something to your friend or stop crying on the forums.
When it's all said and done....try not to tell her "I told you so".
