What Would You Say?

I have a friend that is always asking for advice. Advice about his lovelife, but I just can't make myself to tell him that he doesn't have a chance with that girl. He already been rejected by the same girl, he doesn't know how to give up, even though he knows that, the girl like someone else. What Would You Say to Him?

Instead of telling him anything negative, ask him what he likes so much about the girl and why he thinks he has a chance with her. Let him do the talking and he might figure out that his chances with her might not be so good. It's best not to give advice on the subject of "love." Ask him a lot of questions and maybe he will figure it out by himself. That way you don't have to say anything that would upset him. Just let him talk.

I guess you're right, but he always says that he falls for her every time she smile. Thank you for the advice, i'll hold on to that.

@secret225 Sometimes people ask for advice when what they really want is to talk about their situation. They want what's called a "sounding board" someone to bounce their thoughts off of. They just want someone to listen. I hope he figures it out. He obviously counts you as a friend and that's a good thing.

Its time you told him the truth.. if you really care about him. Tell him that there are girls out there who would love him for who he is.. and he should open his heart to look for those.
