did i overreact???
There is this guy I really really like, and was going to ask out as soon as I saw him again. My BEST FRIEND talked to him last night at a New Years party I skipped for another. Neither had been drinking so they say, but at the end of the night, she called me and said that they had made out and were together now. She said that she was really sorry, and I hung up on her. I called back a few minutes later and told her how hurt I was, because she knew I was going to ask him out at school tomorrow, and asked her how she could do this to me. She told me that it just happened, and she finally figured out how come I liked him so much.
I told her to not even try to talk to me tomorrow, that she didn't deserve to be forgiven, even if she cut it off with him.
Did I over-react with this all? I mean, I'm sure she didn't try to hurt me, that it just happened like she said, but she is still my best friend, and bfs don't do that to each other.
This is a friend I have known and been really close to for just over 2 yrs. We went through some really awful stuff together and came out friends. I have had a crush on this guy for almost 6 yrs. To tell you the truth, I am closer to the guy than I am her, and have been, even though I still value her as my best girl friend.

No, you were in the heat of the moment and everyone says things wrong when they are mad. The best thing to do is apologize to her when you see her and tell her you didn't mean what you said, that you understand that she didnt mean for it to happen the way it did and that yes you are still hurt by her actions but you dont want to let a boy come between you and her. Friends will be there, dont let a boy come between you two. The best thing to do is support her because the relationship probably wont last long to begin with, just wait it out. Be a true friend and be there for her, she probably feels bad enough as it is.

oh heck... who knows... maybe you did overreact, maybe you didn't... , what was your first thought this morning when you opened your eyes....when you were laying there... did you feel she was still your friend and or feel your two could work through this... ?
Usually your first thoughts in the mornings are the ones we want to follow... we had thought about it all night and it is a way for our brains to say... listen... we have a thought here... and here is some advice before the rest of the brain screws it up with Jealousy, anger etc....
I think, you need to call your g/F, back... say your not mad.... just had your sights on that guy and if it works out between you too, great... if not... you will take the left overs....
did you ever think that maybe he isn't a reall nice guy after all... I mean he could want a piece off your g/f and go from there too another... or he wants to get too know her.. to get too know her so he can get closer too you?
what I am driving at is the teenage hormonal dating montague is a blurr when in full bloom so just sometimes we have too just go with the flow and enjoy the experience... even if our b/f gets the guy....

No you didnt over react. Best friends dont do this to each other. Dont let a guy end a friendship. If it just happened then she shouldnt have a problem not seeing him again if she values the friendship. This should teach two lessons. One know who you can trust and second dont talk about someone you like when you are around females that just let things happen. She could have talked to him about you but instead she was looking out for herself. I would give it a little time before you talk to her about the situation. If she decides to be with him then leave them both alone.

not at all. she couldnt be your best friend if she did that. she should respect you and the fact that she said she realized why you liked him so much and it just happened shows how little she cares about you and how selfish she was. basically, the guy was a $1,000 shopping spree, shes the girl with the closet full of clothes (symbolic for the party) and you are the girl without. basically she said to herself, "im sure my friend would love this, but since its right here and shes not, why dont i just take it for myself. i mean..honestly." she doesnt care for you, otherwise she wouldnt have done that. she crossed all sorts of lines. even reading your question made me angry at her.
just ignore her totally, ignore any sort of communication between the two of you and if youre really fed up, just tell her that as your best friend, she shouldnt have done or said any of the things she did and she was being royally selfish.

i just had something very similar happen to me except my best friend took the person that i had a crush on. i havent talked to him for about a day now and i havent talked to her either and let me tell you i dont think thats the way to approach it. i think you should let them have their little fling together and it probably wont last for very long so then if your still interested in him you should take control of that situation. but do not go and try to be all pissed off at them, try and remain friends, but also dont act like you like them two being together

No I wouldn't have called and explain my feelings cause I'm not the sharring type. I would have been so hurt but forgiven my friend sounds crazy but I love my friends and nothing can get between us even if I have to sacrifice but on the other hand I will hurt her.

WELL YES AND NO..
SHE KNEW YOU LIKED HIM SO SHE NEVER SHOULD HAVE PUT HERSELF IN THE SITUATION TO DO THAT TO YOU!!
NOTHING EVER JUST HAPPENS BECAUSE SHE COULD HAVE TOLD HIM NO SHE WANTED IT TO HAPPEN SO IT DID... JUST GIVE IT SOME TIME BECAUSE I KNOW YOU ARE HURT AND MAD,,,,
BUT THINK ABOUT IT NO MAN IS WORTH LOSING A FRIEND BECAUSE MEN COME AND GO! TAKE SOME TIME COOL OFF AND SPEAK WITH YOUR FRIEND AND WITHIN NO TIME I AM SURE YOU WILL FIND ANOTHER BOY TO LIKE, GOOD LUCK AND I HOPE ALL WORKS OUT FOR YOU AND YOUR FRIEND!

No you didn't over react. Your friend is a slut. She knew what you wanted and she went a took it. But think about it. He's a guy, so you won't have problems taking him from your friend. Men are easy to get.

hun, you are overreacting a little. i've been in both positions. and they both kinda suck. it's hard. but forgive her. there will be other guys. and no one says you won't have another chance with him. just be friends. friends will live on. don't lose her over a guy. it's frivolous.
believe me, stuff like this does JUST happen.

i don't think u overreacted..she is your friend and she knew how u felt, if she appreciated and valued the friendship.. while they were making out her conscience would've stopped it..u need to separate yourself from her..even if its just for a small amount of time
