Percentage of people who believed this title = 0%


There's that friend girl who confessed me that she's insanely in love with some friend of mine (not that close friend) , she doesn't want me to tell him that but she only wants him to know by his own. It has been about 1 year and half that she's trying yet the guy didn't catch any cues or signs and never made a move.
She's having depression now , crying all the time, taking loads of antidepressants that do nothing but s**t and losing weight heavily yet ...she doesn't want me to tell him :?.

What to do in this case?

I'm in agreement with Cyberman. Stay out of it. The problem is not yours to resolve.

That's crazy!!

Sounds like she needs psychiatric help rather than relationship help especially if the antidepressants aren't helping. I'd encourage her to seek vice from a professional and bring up some of these symptamatic observations with her if it seems a little disturbing. Other than that, there's not much else you can do. I agree with the above, don't do anything if it's that bad.

I had similar problem with a friend and tried to do everything I could. Nothing worked and it just got to a point where I just couldn't watch or support what they were doing to themselves.

Stay out of it. I have a simple rule that I follow in this situation. Your happiness is not my responsibility and my happiness is none of your damn business.

"seek vice from a professional"...well, that conjured up a different image for me..;) s'ok, I know what you mean.

It can happen. Heck, I'm on my 2nd wife. Don't give up too soon.

Well, sounds like the average Middle Eastern love affair. I worked with the AMIDEAST program in the US, Arabs love being in love, and wailing about it and writing songs on the oud. And most of them can't even get drunk. Poor things.

Point out to her that she's being ridiculous and she just needs to TELL him. It's been a year and a half.

btw , talking about hookers , 80% of local hookers are from Russia or Ukraine or Romania. The Maameltein street should be renamed to the Red Square.

Russians smuggle 2 type of things to Lebanon: Weapon to the islamic terrorist organizations and hookers for the clubs in Christian areas.

Smart way of covering the whole market....

She is being stupid. See, this is where aspie bluntness can work in your favor. ;)
No "dropping hints", which if the other person isn't interested, then they will politely ignore all "hints".
At least if she asked them outright, she'd get a straight up yes or no.

What should you do? Nothing in terms of him, maybe something in terms of talking to her:

Suddenly dating this guy is not going to take away her need for antidepressants, I suspect. Dating a person doesn't magically "fix" you. And being depressed over not dating somebody who *doesn't* even *know*? So I suspect her real problem lies elsewhere. Which you probably can't do much about, just be supportive. And encourage her to go over her drugs and their current effectiveness with her doctor.
