I’m furious with my so-called pal who is hitting on a girl he knows I am falling for
DEAR DEIDRE: I AM furious with my so-called friend for hitting on the girl he knew I was falling for.
We all went out last weekend and by the end of the night he was monopolising her and left with her number.
I’ve been talking about her to him for weeks and he knew exactly how I felt.
My friend and I are both 25 and go way back to our primary school days.
I thought I could trust him.
She was out with a friend and I was out with my mate.

No issue is too small, too large or too embarrassing. Read our personal replies here.
We met for a drink in a pub but as soon as my friend clapped eyes on her, he started flirting and putting me down.
I could barely mask how annoyed I was with him.
I was going to ask this girl out on a date as we were getting on so well but I feel pushed aside.
DEIDRE SAYS: Don’t jump to conclusions about how she feels.
She might just have been being friendly, as she wanted to get on with your friend.
You are perfectly within your rights to ask your friend to back off and give you a chance – and if he doesn’t respect your wishes, then at least you will know he is not to be trusted.
Ask this girl out and you will soon find out if you genuinely have a connection.
