"  My friend just broke up with her boyfriend, and two other boys like her. She doesn&amp;#039;t like them in that way, but they won&amp;#039;t leave her alone. What should she do? Tiffany, 16, Benzonia, MI It sounds like your friend might be sending these guys mixed messages. It could be one of two things: First -- if she&amp;#039;s turning them down in a flirty way, that sends the signal that the &amp;quot;no&amp;quot; might soon turn into a &amp;quot;yes,&amp;quot; and that would keep the guys buzzing around her, waiting. (And if she had a bad breakup, maybe having them around her is something she likes for her ego.)  Second -- she doesn&amp;#039;t have an ulterior motive for keeping them around, but she&amp;#039;s being too nice. If she really wants to get rid of them, she needs to say, in a firm way, &amp;quot;Listen, I think you&amp;#039;re a nice person, but I&amp;#039;m not interested in dating you.&amp;quot; Even though that might sound harsh, it&amp;#039;s actually much kinder than making a guy think he has a chance when the truth is he really doesn&amp;#039;t. Bottom line: She needs to decide what she wants, because too many people (including you!) are caught up in her game. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
