Be clear with the freak, but not nasty, you'd be astonished how bad shit like that can make you feel
The Very Good Friend will likely change his mind over the next few weeks, that's the way it's always seemed in any situation I've seen. Let him take his time, and when he's stopped being a girl, you can go back to being mates again, before likely getting drunk together at a party, and going back to the old habit.

And I very much doubt you were ever ugly.

EDIT: Although, in all seriousness, when you do give Chompy the bad news, make sure he knows it's just not going to work.

True story.
I was adorable up until the age of six - white blonde bob, big blue eyes etc. Then something when horribly wrong and I was ugly from seven til about fifteen. I was really, really thin and gangly and awkward and my face was all pointy and ratty.

I want to see pictures of Rattlebite.

I was an ugly youth as well, same thing, stick thin and pointy.

I think my sister has it, it's a real physical photo.
I'll ask her for it, but she might not allow me to have it lest I destroy it.

That she uses for blackmail purposes fairly regularly. Everytime I bring a boy home, she gets it out.

on a mutherfucking boat. Her ferret (still not a euphamism) fell in the canal on Saturday and she got annoyed because I couldn't find that anything other than hilarious.

Wait a minute, you're insinuating that you can get to the photo first aren't you?!
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 12:32, Reply)

Yes, yes I am
Although I'm unsure how to bring that up - "Hi, I know your sister off the internet, I'm here to get a photo of her as a child, hur hur"

Can't see it going too well...

Ugly Duckling into Swan sort of thing?
I've gone the other way, I quite like the way I looked at 17-18, now I can't have photos in which I don't have a double chin.

Ah well, that's why I'm on the salad, and in the gym!

In all seriousness though, I've seen the "friends sleeping together" scenario too many times, something has to change if you're not willing to be together, or you can end up with feelings you don't want, and be incredibly hurt if they end up with someone else.

Were you aware of this?
I suffered from great delusions of grandeur during my early teens, I thought I was ace. I wish I knew that I was a fat faced idiot. It's alright now though because I've svelte and dashing. Lost another stone over the summer and people are falling over themselves to tell me how good I look. Compared to how I was before, anyway.

It's simply being nice.

it was a bit simpering. If she says she was ugly, she was probably ugly.
I know I was.

he's being a nasty manipulative shit. although, if he's young he might not quite realise that, I suppose.

Tbh, I don't think he realises it that way, he thinks he's just trying to protect himself, when hiding from the problem will make it worse, not easier
very nearly said 'harder', quite glad I didn't
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 11:56, Reply)

That's why I put in the qualifier
I didn't want to seem to harsh on him. But that IS what he is doing, and he needs to understand that, or he'll carry on doing it to others as well, and it really isn't a nice thing to do to anyone.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 11:58, Reply)

I agree
Currently, I've got it with a girl(K) and lad(H) I'm mates with. Made worse by the fact that the lads brother (J) is in love with K, and has been for years. He's firmly in the friend zone though.

Now, K has moved on, after H said he couldn't do it anymore, and didn't want to see her. Then, a week later, he wanted to see her again, and tried it on. Now, she's also out with other lads at the minute, so H both hates and loves K.

It's frankly fucking pathetic and irritating, but as I've been in the same situation with K myself, I help out where I can.

TL;DR - Lad sleeps with girl, can't 'be' with her, hates/loves her now.
