Can you give us a little more info? What exactly doesn't she like about him?

To be honest if she's your best friend, then unless he's a murdering rapist, she should be happy for you.

the boy I might be going out with

You're not going out with him then? Forget it, worry about your friend.

I don't know but I know she's been fighting with him since school.
She either fancies him.
Or fancies you.

And is a jealous little biotch. If you like your boyfriend, tell her she has to deal with it.

I mean what's not to like? Is he a Colombian drug lord who directs loads of snuff movies? A pimp? Ronald McDonald?

We are to us but we are not to everyone else. If that makes any sense.

Ah if they have a history that makes it a little more complicated. Is that how you met him?
listen to your best friend she probably wants the best for you and never pick a guy over your friends. the only one problem could be shes jealous but it doesnt sound like that anyway and even if she was don tthink she should be your best rfriend then. but honestly your friends do know best.

Yeah. A boyfriend will last a little while and that time will be bliss I'm sure. A best friend should last for life.

My friends used to hate my ex boyfriend. I could never understand why, I mean he made me happy. We broke up in the end, mostly because I could no longer cope with the constant arguments with my friends.

I was the only one with a boyfriend at the time. Now most of my friends have gone off with their own boyfriends, and I'm the one alone.

It's jealousy, plain and simple.

No, I meet him at college and I only found out later that she knew him.

if its jealousy then they shouldnt be your friends, i think your post makes you sound jealous too, maybe its just natural for girls to be jealous, my friends dont ever get jealous.

It might not be a jealousy issue, she may genuinely be concerned about you. I hate my best friend's boyfriend, he's such a waste of space- he's bringing her down too... I've hinted at this a few times, but have never told her directly. Ask her why she dislikes him. If it's an understandable reason then think twice about him, if not then she'll just have to get used to it.

My situation was like yours but she told my "bf" that he was taking advange of me because I was lonely. I never have being lonely. I like the attetion only.
Why are people suggesting the need to choose between the two of them? Surely having one doesn't rule out having the other? If choosing him would cause the friend to refuse to be friends with her, then what sort of a friend would she be, anyway?

Anyway, I think you need to ascertain as to why she dislikes him, and then ask for his side of things, too; stories from one person can be too one-sided, obviously. Only then can an informed decision be made. Your friend may know something you don't, admittedly, but she may also be being silly and/or jealous, and you may be treating this guy unfairly, and sacrificing something special, if you stop seeing him.

What does your bf think of her? Talk to them both (separately) & ask what the problem is. If she's worried about you do consider it as she may be able to be more objective than you. If its just a petty falling out then explain to her that you like him & want to see him & hope she can be happy for you. Then spend time with both of time, apart if necessary.

He doesn't like her either.
