Dear Nikki,
Worried About Relationship
I have a crush on a boy, but one of my BFFs does NOT like him at all! Even though my ENTIRE school ships us together (totally NOT an exaggeration), my BFF is always mocking my relationship with my crush in front of my other friends ☹️!
How do I get my BFF to stop wrecking my relationship with my crush while keeping my friendship with my BFF?
Dear Worried About Relationship,
I totally understand the frustration and stress of your BFF not liking your crush. If Zoey or Chloe didn’t like Brandon! OMG ☹️!! I’d feel just like you and do everything I could to fix the problem!
I think you should start by asking your BFF WHY she doesn’t like your crush. Maybe she sees him differently than you do or maybe there’s something about your crush that you aren’t aware of that your BFF knows. Also, ask your BFF to stop criticizing your relationship with your crush and saying rude things in front of your other friends which is SO. NOT. COOL!
Maybe your BFF is worried that you’ll stop being her bestie and start spending ALL your time with your crush and get closer to HIM. This means she could be reacting out of jealousy or insecurity. If that’s the case, you’ll need to let your BFF know how important her friendship is to you and that a crush could NEVER-EVER-EVER break your BFF bond!!
Also, be sure to remind your BFF about the “Rules of Friendship” and that you’ll both need to listen to each other with an open mind especially since YOU may not always love every guy your BFF crushes on either! Let your BFF know that you wouldn’t let HER crush ruin your friendship with HER, so she shouldn’t let YOUR crush ruin her friendship with YOU!
At the end of the day, if she is TRULY your BFF, she will respect your choice and accept your crush. Who knows, maybe she’ll end up changing her mind after she sees all his AWESOME qualities and understands why you’re crushing on him 😊! If not, just live your life and be sure that you are making the right decision for yourself.

CrushCatasprophe/BeautifulBFFS says
My crush is soooooooooooo cute! It kinda hurts that he doesn’t like me, and likes someone who kinda is rude to me. She used to my friend. (I moved a few weeks ago)
cupcake quenn says
Me to well I did hear something about my crush likes me but acts super nice to me and is funny but I don’t always think that love is true I,m saying that maybe he does not like me … We will never know…………..
BeautifulBFFS says
My BFF and me write books together, but sometimes she copies me. I’ve decided to still be friends with her, just don’t let her edit my books ! She’s the best.
Dork Diaries Fan says
Maybe try to talk with your friend, and ask her questions such as, ‘why does she not like your crush?’ If you spent time with your crush, maybe you can try spending time with your crush and bff to maybe bond more? Hope this helped.
❤️ says
Maybe you can try to talk to your friend about why she does not like your crush? Talk to her about why you are crushing on them, and have a good friend-to-friend conversation. I know it probably hurts when she mocks you, and maybe you could tell her not to mock, since teasing someone is never the answer. If you spend time with your crush, you can try to maybe spend around an equivalent time with both your crush and best friend. Hope this helped!

Maybe ur friend likes the boy too, and thinks that your gonna take him away from her, or mabe even become his girlfriend! that happens sometimes. So ask ur friend if he likes him. So the advice collum is back. yay I guess.
No one knows says
There are only 2 reasons why your BFF doesn’t like your crush either she doesn’t want to lose you as a friend or actually likes him but hasn’t said anything. Now if these aren’t either the reasons then WHY can’t you just ask her, what her deal is with him? Like honestly COMMUNICATION is one of the most important things in this world and if you don’t want to lose her then talk about it when you have the chance. Also, I would like to say after reading a couple of Nikki’s blog posts I would like to say that if she complains about how cheap her parents are when it comes to her clothes then why doesn’t she go to a thrift shop since they have cheap and great stuff there usually. I just wanted to say that to get it off my shoulder.
Dorkycheeselover says
Only that makes alot of since, but ngl maybe the BFF is jealous of their relationship, could be jealous of the crush or her, maybe the BFF knows some secret or flaw about the crush that she doesn’t, maybe she just doesn’t agree with the relationship or maybe there is a possibility of the BFF just not liking the crush in general?
Lost_Belgian (frequencies fan) says
the thing that bothers me is that Nikki always says such mean stuff about her parents like the one time that she got a dairy instead of a cellphone but if she got a cellphone instead of a dairy, this series would not even exist guys
Mackinac-n-Me says
Smart much?! :)))
BIG ROLEPLAY FAN!! says
It really depends on why your said friend dislikes him. I mean, it wouldn’t be really *friendly* of you to just get mad at her just because she dislikes your partner. So, before jumping to conclusions, ask why she dislikes your partner, and maybe that could overall be a red flag. If it is a bad trait that he has that she dislikes, talk to your partner about it.
BUT if it’s a crush, you should do the same, and if he really *is* a bad person.. then that’s just your BFF standing up for you and pointing out the obvious.
Cheeselover says
I agree
OMG!!! says
That’s just too bad !!!!
DorkyFanGirl :) :D says
I definitely agree
Indian Dork says
Bruh one of my friends faced this! My BEST friend keeps trying to stop the shipping of my OTHER BEST friend.. and their friendship is being ruined! I try to stop it but what can I do?!
Luv my lip gloss says
I don’t know ♀️
What can I help you with that?
love to help says
at school I have a crush and one of my BFFs found out they never stop teasing me I say ( line from dork diaries) that if she does not like she should cry herself a river build herself a bridge and GET OVER IT!
DorkyFanGirl :) :D says
Seriously, I am in the same situation as you 🙁
yayass says
Does ur bff like ur crush?
IHeartDorkDiaries says
I think she’s just jealous.
PINECONE KID says
YAY
DorkychEeseLoveR says
Maybe try to figure out why, or maybe ask why, there is a possibility of there being an important reason, maybe your crush has a secret or hiding something that she somewhat knows about, your BFF could possibly be jealous of your relationship, it seems like your in a sticky situation, you could ask your BFF to stop,
Just a btw I will use the term “BFF” because I don’t know the BFF’s pro-nouns
watch out mickey mouse…. There is only enough cheese for one- /J
Smartiepants says
I agree
I don't know says
Meh I dont have a crush
Dorks 101 says
Tell your bff to stop it and not be her friend because she is fake friend
Cheeselover says
I don’t think that is the solution, there could be a good reason that the BFF acts that way
Dorkqueenz says
This really isn’t a good solution, there could really be a possibility of there being a good reason their BFF acts that way
DorkyFanGirl :) :D says
Ummmmm… I don’t think that’s the best way to resolve the problem…
Cupcake cutie says
try asking your BFF why she doesn’t like ur crush and try to settle itthen maybe she might like him
Anonymous says
First ask your BFFS what would they want otta your crush and try to make it happen?
