My friend is trying to get the attention of my crush and wants my crush to like her
So... I developed a crush on this person from my class. Let's give him the name, Rob. I told my best friend about it and she was my classmate too. Let's call her Emma. So... Emma never really used to bother about Rob. Like, even though he was a classmate, she never waved at or even looked at him. It was like his existence was not a big deal for her.
It all changed when I told her I had a crush on Rob. She initially teased me saying that he looks ugly and I can do much better. And, things slowly started to change. She would start noticing him as I have on him. But, it was not simply noticing his presence. She started to want his attention and would try her best to get his attention from him even when I was with her. She slowly started to wave at him. She would come and tell me that he had accidentally hit her while walking in the corridor. She manipulated me into believing that he had a crush on my friend. She used to say that he had feelings for her. She was aware that I really liked him and still did it. Once, he touched my hands, and when I told her about it she told me," he touched my hands to". Every time she says that my crush and I had eye contact. This all started the moment I told her I had a crush on this person. She once told me that there would be competition between us because of him. I can't communicate this to her because she will blame me and say that it's all in my mind. Is she a true friend or a fake friend?
Should I go for it?
The person I have a crush on is kind of mean to my best friend. I try to ignore my crush, but he's just... AHH!!! When I first came to the school, he was rude to me like once, but I just took the test, and it says he's into me. I took another test and I'm into him!! But my BFF said he's mean to her! But I can't just ignore crushes! Please someone help!
Crush (I am a recent widow)
I am a recent widow (several months post). I have developed feelings for a guy friend that are confusing. He used to flirt with me before my husband died. I took it as harmless, but I definitely felt like he was into me. We went to lunch a couple of times (as friends) and never crossed the line. I was flattered, but had no intention of being unfaithful. However, I was drawn to this guy and realized that hanging out with him was probably not a good idea and I started to have anxiety about it. Fast forward, many months later, my husband died unexpectedly and I went to dinner with this guy a couple of moths later. I still felt the same spark. I felt guilty about this, but really wanted to get to know him better, so we hung out a few more times. My feelings have grown stronger and stronger to the point that I let him know. Once I let him know about my crush, he has pulled back and suggested that we should get to know each other better and take things slow. We are both mature adults. I don't know what to think. I asked him why he had flirted with me when I was married and he said because "I was safe". What in the world does that mean? Help me to decipher this strange behavior. I have really fallen hard for this guy, but I am wondering if he is just playing games.
I need help on what to do about my boyfriend??
Basically, I got with my boyfriend 6 months ago, And honestly it was going great, But recently it has been different and I am not sure how to feel and what this means. He recently has asked to hang out I would say 4-5 times a week, I am someone that does around 5 clubs per week as I am focussed on a career I want to peruse one day.
Anyway, he knows what I do every week yet mostly he will usually ask me on days o am busy, And I always remind him and he will always reply the same… “Oh” and recently he would go offline for the rest of the day. And honestly, That reply would kind of make me feel guilty for the rest of the day.
Note we go to different schools in a similar area, but we have different times we start and finish. What do I do? Be honest. ❤️

How can I drop subtle hints so he can show me he likes me
I have a crush, and he likes me, I think! I NEED to not lose him, but I really don't want to make the first move unless it is obvious. How can I drop subtle hints so he can show me he likes me (in case he doesn't want to make the first move as well)? I just really want to know any and all hints I can drop, but I don't want them to be crazy like, "Wow! That shirt looks really good on you." Please Help!!!!
Should I leave/dump my friends?
Recently my friends have been getting more and more nasty and aggressive towards me. They keep switching work partners as well, leaving me to scramble. At lunch break I get left out and they never seem to care.
Sometimes they also call me a ‘nerd’ ‘bookworm’ and sometimes even ‘ugly’! I find it offensive and mean. I just try and stick a brave face on, yet I have to almost hold back tears. Today I started to just hang out with one really loyal friend and had a great time! We didn’t need to fake anything, we just talked about music and stuff.
I feel better whenever they’re not there, but I’m a social butterfly and love to have tons of friends. Turns out I’m very naive when it comes to picking friends.
Advice?

does he like me or not?
basically one of my guy best friends invited his close friend to where we eat for lunch, ever since then we've chatted a couple of times but whenever we aren't talking we listen in to our friends conversations and then add on, so like usual conversation stuff but sometimes I find him staring at me very attentively, like if I fixed my hair or was eating I would catch him staring at me from across the table since it's those circular ones and I would look away but he would always be looking at me.
In our group chat with our close friends from lunch he's always one of the first people to look at the messages I send and he replies really fast, he would heart them sometimes too. When I would rant, he would always try and comfort me even when he said that he wasn't the best with talking about feelings as well.
Today I asked if anyone wanted to play a game to pass time and he saw it in the groupchat and automatically said yes and we played together. there were times were it was mostly silence since we still didn't really know know each other yet but he was really helpful. He checked up on me and asked if I was okay too after I had to leave abruptly because of my parents and he made sure I was okay. And this is where I think I'm just overthinking because he used to have matching pfps with his gf before he moved and he had her initial on his bio but now he doesn't and his pfp is his cat which in the gc he posted photos of her and I told him that she was a cutie so I don't know if he likes me or not or if this is just me overthinking and coincidences do happen but what do you guys think?

Will I get my ex back?
My ex and I were together for 7 months. We were great together and had a lot of fun. I was broken up with very abruptly because they are questioning sexuality.
After we broke up we went for a week without seeing each other but still messaging back and forth.
After that week we actually spent an entire week together and it felt like nothing changed and we acted like we were still together.
Then one of us had to leave for work. The first week during this we talked in the phone and sent messages back and forth. However, my ex then called for no-contact and has since blocked me on all social media. Is there a chance we get back together?
