How not to smack a boyfriend's friend that happens to be a girl?

Though I know that my boyfriend will never leave me / cheat, he has this needy friend who constantly texts him and wants to hang out with him one - on - one, but won't accept a group get together. She wants him to make alone time for her and give her attention even if he's unavailable, and the whole situation is, believe me, abnormal. I don't want to be a controlling girl who says that I don't want him to be friends with her anymore, but where do you draw the line? Every get together seems awkward anymore with all of the death glares and whining, and I need some opinions on self control or advice on this situation.

Update:

Already had a conversation with her about it. It only escalated there - after.

    you need to talk to your boyfriend and let him see what is really going on. cuz whether he realizes it or not.. he is allowing this to occur. he should be telling her to chill out and that it isn't cool. that she needs to respect him and you and that you are together and that there is a line that shouldn't be crossed.

    you already had a talk with her.. now it is his turn..

    Source(s): ps. my best friend for years was a guy and it was realy hard for me to let go and make room for his gf's all the time.. but he and i talked and we made a deal .. we could still be friends but i needed to respect that his gf is now the Most important girl in his world. and that i was not being forgotten but now just not as major. it really worked and i got the point. i hope this helps.

    Tell him you want some time with him. If you're ever on a date with him and she calls, tell him not to leave. If he blows you off, start the tears. I'm thinking some guy's weak points are a girl's tears. I would probably draw the line when he blows you off on a date that was already scheduled. If he's constantly texting her or look at his phone during dates, ask him what's wrong and try to talk to him about it. If you are really unstable with all of it, then try talking to her, but have him around so you don't do anything horrifying to her.

    It would be controlling to say you don't want him to be friends with her anymore, but it wouldn't be controlling of you brought up the situation with your boyfriend and told him that her constant need for his attention bugs you a little. Chances are she bugs him just as much. Once he knows that the situation bugs you, it would be on his shoulders to talk to this other girl and let her know that he can't give her all the attention she wants.

    I think you need to tell your boyfriend exactly how you feel! Let him know that the way she behaves is inappropriate and that it makes you feel like she's more like his girlfriend than you are. Try and come to a compromise with him... Like, he can hang out with her a certain amount of time but Saturday nights are for you and him to hang out alone, without her.

    If he reacts negatively and doesn't understand how you feel, and doesn't even want to listen or come to some kind of mutual agreement, say sayonora and move on. If he's not going to budge on these kind of issues he's probably not going to care about anything else that bothers you.

    And why is this girl your boyfriend's friend? She sounds really strange to me. Restraining order? haha jk. You're the better catch, so don't worry about that. She is obviously crushing on him. I suggest you stay away from her haha. Well I don't know what else to tell you but I'm sure if your boyfriend is smart enough he won't be friends with that clingy vine anymore :P

    Talk to him about how you feel. Tell him that you aren't angry at the girl, but you are feeling a bit awkward. You can't tell him to stop hanging out with someone, just make sure that he is aware of your feelings.

    Just tell him that you dont think that they should break off the friendship, but like you said, he should draw the line somewhere.
