question: i got this female friend whom im real good friends with and talk heaps and everything. but there is this guy who i talk to from school, she also comes to our school, and he is an ok bloke, i get along with him and whatnot, but he is a sleaze when it comes to girls and i know for a fact that he has no interest in my friend, but he leads her on and she has a HUGE crush on him and i mean HUGE. he even called her a slut and whatnot once, but she still forgave him and started flirting with him 2 seconds later.

is there any way to convince her that he isnt good enough for her and to stop flirting with him and whatnot cause i dont wanna see her get hurt. plus i dont think he deserves her but i dont know any way of saying such things without seeming very catty or jealous or whatnot.

anyone got ideas on this topic or is there really nothing i can do?

Probably not, to use an analogy; you can take a horse to water, but can't force it to drink.

She'll see the error of her ways if the guy is truly an arsehole, but you interfering with her love interest may rub off badly on you. Just have to accept that some women don't know a tosser from a prince Charming sometimes.

Seriously? If she's your friend then stick by her. Like it or not she will flirt with whomever she wishes - if it's a sleaze, this makes it harder to stand back and do nothing. But sometimes the only way we learn is through our mistakes - perhaps she has to be mistreated by a sleaze before she figures out that flirting with arseholes isn't a good idea.

Of course if he hurts her go and cut off his testicles. You can tell him this in private, and maybe he'll get the message. Threaten a guy's balls and he may be less inclined to flaunt them.

To actually convince her that he's an arsehole would be difficult. Is he actually an arsehole, as in has he hurt other girls before?

Well if she likes him then it is her decision. It may not be a good idea to interfere against her will. Your friendship with her could be jepordized
