My Funny Picture

My friend is always obsessed over the guy that she likes. What do i do?

My friend, Sara, likes this guy named Colin (He is my cousin's friend and sara has never met him before, she has only seen pictures) and all she does is talk about him and she says stuff like "oh my gosh! Colin didnt say bye to me before he left on msn! Im so sad!" and Sara is always saying that Colin emails her like 10 times a day and shes all like 'Its so weird!' and then he didnt email her for like a day then my friend is all depressed. Also she doesnt even know him! I am getting sick and tired of hearing about her and Colin,and i want to tell her that but i dont want to hurt her feelings. What do i tell her that wont hurt her?

1. Tell her the truth in a gentle way. Tell her that you think that she should meet him before acting like they are dating. Tell her that it might creep him out. Especially if he found out.
2. Lessons have to be learned in life, so let her make her mistakes so that she can learn
3. Tell her that you can't be a good friend hearing about him all the time. That it is getting old and you feel neglected. And that you will need to distance yourself if she can't be more respectful.
4. tell her to play hard to get, not to be so available to him...it scares guys away. and 10 emails a day...that need to stop. obsessing about a guy isnt gonna help her get him,
5. WELL...MAYBE YOU SHOULD TELL HER...WHAT GOES ON BETWEEN HER AND COLIN IS THERE BUSINESS...AND IT WOULD BE BETTER IF SHE KEEP IT TO HERSELF!!!
6. tell her how u feel but say it in a nice way not in a mean way
7. Her fantasy is hers. She must make her own mistakes and learn from it. That fantasy makes her feel with hope and some times that feeling is just a nice invention. If you are really her friend respect her feelings. But of course is not wrong to tell her what you think. what to tell her? that you respect her feelings and you don't want to be in the middle of that, but that you think that she is taking that to serious. Why do you think she is acting like that? the answer could help you to understand.
8. It's great that you don't want to hurt your friends feelings!!! I was like your friend, really obsessed, and it made me angry when someone yelled at me, and it made me think, are you really my friend? But I don't think that's the case with you since you don't want to hurt your friend's feelings. I think a good way of telling her would be if you just say, "Sara, you know what? You just need to relax and remember other things about your life. Tv, shopping, (whatever). Don't let some guy rule your life! You deserve some time just to yourself.." Or something like that. But it's great that you don't want to hurt your friend's feelings.
