How do I take care of another guy's girlfriend (he asked me to take care of her) while he's away?

I am seventeen, by the way. A friend of mine asked me to ';take care of his girl'; while he was in Denver for a bit. Anyway, she got sick and her parents are in Cleveland for the week. She and I have been really good friends for a while now and we playfully flirt with each other occasionally. She misses her boyfriend and she's cried about it a couple of times. How do I comfort her while at the same time keeping the boundary between friends and relationship intact?

She's not the possession of your friend and he's not in a position to ask you to ';take care of her';. She can ask for help, or you can offer. But what is happening here is the prelude of you two ending up in bed. Trust me. I think you know that and are looking forward to it. Don't play innocent, you aren't and she isn't. Do whatever you feel like but do it as an adult and later don't say some crap like, ';I had no idea, it just happened, oh I am sorry...';. This is a planned crash and you are well on your way.

PS your friend is an idiot.





One more thing, use condoms, you don't need a baby out of this farce on top of everything else.How do I take care of another guy's girlfriend (he asked me to take care of her) while he's away?
get a girl to go over and watch movies or whatever with her. doing it yourself is not a good move, especially with your history of 'playfully flirting'
Talk to her about it, hug her, hang out with her doing what she wants to do, buy her a coffee or ice cream (not flowers or chocolates)



Don't cuddle or kiss, or hold hands or anything else only meant for romantic relationships. Take care of her the way you would take care of your mother if she were upset. Do what makes her happy, and talk about the boyfriend being away so she (and he) knows you are just friends. Friends hug, don't worry about it. Be mature.




I wouldnt get too close to her , possibly just an arm around her , pass her a tissue sit and just listen to what she has to say. Most importantly i would just remind her of how much her boyfriend loves her , and how much he is missing her as much as she is missing him , remind her that as each day passes its one less day he is away and one more day crossed off before he can return home. Just keep her mind on her boyfriend and remind her of how much he cares for her , if you have feelings for her i understand its difficult not to act on these but im sure your aware that its not right to make any sort of a move on her as it is not fair on her as she is bound to be more vulnerable and not fair on your friend as hes away , you have control over yourself so you should be fine , good luck.
I would have told your friend before he left that this is something you don't feel comfortable with. You could probably call him now and let him know. If you don't want to call him now then take her a bowl of chicken soup (like from a restaurant) and some ginger ale and leave. Maybe bring a movie for her to watch or a book to read. Don't stay and feed her, don't let her talk you into sitting on her bed and talking, don't even watch a movie with her. It's his girl and you just need to be a strictly plutonic friend.
.......that boundary is so NEAR its end any day now i can assure U
Just be there for her if she needs to talk. Maybe go out and do something fun together. If you feel yourself crossing the line, just get up and leave. Maybe just call her on the phone if she wants to vent.
Tell her that there are many many married men and women whose spouses are overseas serving our country and many many children whose parents are doing the same. Tell her to grow up
Take her out for a meal at Jackrabbit Slim's and win 1st prize in a twist contest. Just don't leave your jacket alone with her...
Don't touch her unless it's in a purely platonic have to perform some live saving event way.



What the heck is she crying about anyway? She can't take being away from her boyfriend for a few days or weeks or a month?



Do you want a girl that clingy?
