My best friend is really nice and cool, but pretty much every guy, including juniors and seniors (we’re freshman), like her because they think she’s hot. Normally I wouldn’t mind too much, but now its really starting to get unfair. She’s always getting the oppurtunity to go jet skiing, boating, going to prom, etc because all these guys like her. There’s even this one guy at school who is really rich and asked her if she wanted to go with him and a few of his friends to his vacation home in Hawaii for spring break (of course, her parents wouldn’t let her though). I’m not mad at her, because she’s still an awesome friend, but it gets annoying how guys only like a girl if they think she’s really hot. What should I do to stop being jealous?

I know, guys look at the physicals first, if they like how the girl looks, they go for it. And try to get with her and try their best by giving her prizes, like going out with them, or letting her try this and that until they catch her.
But don’t be jealous, all these guys are probably thinking "one" thing if you know what I mean — and if she wasn’t as hot, would they even go for her.
I am pretty sure you are cute yourself, and there is one guy out there that truly likes you. Love yourself first and be proud for who you are. And be nice with your friend. Be happy for her even if he gets on your nerves sometimes.

Like for me, my best friend got engaged yet I am still in my relationship with my guy and he still won’t propose. Though I am sure he can if he wanted to. But he still wants to be able to "browse" the market.

Good luck.

    I had the same problem in h.s. My best friend was always getting hit on. It took me years to figure it out but I learned that she was actually more ‘receptive’ to the compliments and looks that she received. Guys perceived her as more available. She made eye contact and smiled a lot. Don’t be afraid to look at a guy and smile at him if you’re interested. You’ll be surprised at how many guys like to have their ego stroked.

    If they think she is really hot, then they probably figure they will get "somewhere" with her. I would not worry about it too much because they are only going after what they see. The real person is underneath all the clothes, make-up , and hairspray. Be real. Often times girls will dress, act, and speak in ways that is set to gain attention. If she is an awesome friend then I would not jeopardize that for any amount of attention from the opposite sex. At the same time she is an "awesome" friend to you, you are more than likely one of the same degree to her. If that is the case then be proud for her. One day WHEN things go badly for her, she will need a friend. Not only will you strengthen your bond with her, you will realize that most guys are pigs and are happy you stayed out of the lime light in the first place. Be patient, your time is coming.
