Best friend and his girlfriend...on off like a freaking strobe light...

So I'm just gonna start off from the beginning.

A female friend from elementary school (N) has a friend that goes to her high school (A). A found out about my best friend(J) somehow through facebook. They met in person with me and N in attendance, and they hit it off. They met many times after, several times a week. Everything was going well, and J consantly talked about A. According to N, A constantly talked about J to her.

Now N had been in some boy trouble in the past. She's known for flirting with anyone that she likes, doesn't matter whether they're in a relationship or not. N had been flirting with J since the second I introduced them (they were both in a relationship at the time). J broke up with his past girlfriend, and N broke up with her boyfriend about a week after, and the flirting escalated. J had absolutely no interest in N, however. After J started dating A, N did not stop flirting with J. A got suspicious and asked J if he liked N. J replied no, he liked A and A only. A believed J was telling the truth. This only led her to believe that N wasn't, though. And to be fair, she had a lot of stuff to back it up.

Things got tense between A and N over J. A was still concerned about N's feelings towards J, if not J's towards N. As we later found out, N had made up stories and bragged to the school about dating J, who almost everyone at their school knows about, apparently.

Eventually, A confronted N about her feelings towards J. N is and always has been a stubborn bitch. The second A accused N of liking her boyfriend, N denied it and it turned into a total catfight. J naturally sided with A, but I was kinda left in the middle and tried to keep contact with both. A thought I was a traitor and N stopped talking because "she didn't want to put me in a bad situation", so i got screwed both ways.

A started getting used to J, and J almost became a boy toy. Whenever anything came up, and J tried to stand up for himself, he always ended up succumbing to A, for fear of getting her mad at him. A started rescheduling certain meetings to suit her needs, or because she didn't want to do something that J wanted to do. J always went to A's things, simply because he wanted to be with her, not enjoy what they did.

Eventually, he got tired of it and confronted A. A of course, wasn't used to this, and their argument escalated. They broke up. I don't know about A, but J was a wreck for a while. Eventually, A missed J and they got back together again, but J swore he wouldn't play second fiddle to A. Again, the meetings things cropped up again, and they broke up...again.

A while after, a mutual friend of ours (T) introduced J to another girl, (M). J liked M, and M liked J. They talked a bit, got a bit of action bu that was it. J said that M reminded him of A, and that the relationship couldn't measure up, and he wanted to break up with M so he could get back with A, who had found out about the relationship and had started flirting with J again. Only problem is M knew guys at our school. Big guys. If M was hurt by the breakup, there would be a problem. J decided to make M break up with him. It worked well enough, no black eyes on J's part.

J became friends with A. The only reason J had broken up with M, and turned down another girl, (G) was because he thought he and A could get back together. However, A just kept J on the backburner, and started dating some other guys. J was left screwed over...again. Confronted A again, and A defended herself, saying she did nothing wrong, and didnt lead J to think they'd get back together, blah blah bullshit. J said fuck it and tried to apologize to G. Only problem is a guy on Js badminton team is going after G, and he didn't want to interfere with that. J knows G likes him, however he can't do anything without angering his teammate.

Now J is single, and J doesn't like being single. He's considering talking to A again. He says the 30% of the time that the relationship was good, it was absolutely awesome. the 70% of the time it was bad, it was terrible. Do you guys think he should go back to A? I don't think he should, simply for the pain it's causing him.

Do you guys think he should? Why or why not?

This is extremely difficult to read. Next time just use fucking names. Goddamn my head hurts. I feel like I just watched an hour worth of Sesame Street.

Tell J to stop being such a pussy. Tell him to be single and have fun, he obviously does not have that much of a problem getting tail.

No this story is involving to many people and sounds like an episode of the Hills and I don't even watch that show.

I don't know WTF you just said. And no, names don't help. I stopped reading after the first paragraph because I had no idea what you were talking about. All I caught was something about someone flirting even when he/she was already in a relationship. They're 16. These aren't relationships. When you're 16, it's all about liking who you're hanging out with until you like someone else more. You change so much from week to week that it's all pretty useless, really. No one is in it for any kind of true, long term commitment. Whatever the drama is (sorry, I didn't follow), who cares --- everyone involved will be on to someone new within the next 1-6 months anyway.

Just read the last paragraph.

John is single and he doesnt like being single, he wants to go back with this one chick even though the relationship sucked most of the time. Should he go back to her?

If the relationship sucked then no. But keep her number for some impromptu poon.

Crisis averted.

He sounds like a buddy that I had in high-school. there are a few ways to proceed with this:
Best option:
The hell with women in HS, grow up, get your HS Diploma and get women in college, a lot less emotional crap and it's more likely to develop into something better.

If he doesn't want that option then:
Tell him to either
A. Man up and forget about the past and talk to Morgan
B. Stop running after previous women and get it on with some new ones, change is always welcome.

As far as you, stay out of this drama. It's understood that you are his best buddy, but you can get royally screwed in this drama. Its easy to say this, but hard to follow. When he talks about relationships, try to steer the conversation elsewhere gradually. As well you probably have a niche/ circle of friends, let them take the brunt of the drama rather than yourself.

cliffs for those who can't read HS:

OP has a buddy named john.
John started dating chick named Amanda.
Girl named Nina (friends with Amanda) tries to flirt/steal John from Amanda.
Amanda and Nina get into catfight, OP gets screwed in this drama.
John becomes Amanda's boytoy
John and Amanda break up, get back together and then break up again.

John seeks another woman (Morgan)
Morgan and John work well enough, but John wants Amanda back
John makes a plan to make Morgan break up with him, it works.
John tries to get Amanda back and fails

John is now left without a woman and a good friend asking car enthusiasts around the world for advice.

What's there to ask? If he wants to date, re-date, and date that same girl again - let him. Eventually he will get fed up and realize on his own that his happiness > than Amanda and/or the status of being in a relationship. And if he doesn't come to this conclusion on his own, let him go through the self-inflicted torture of her ways. It's a good thing for him to start to figure out for the future...where to draw the line - where it lies for him. Eventually, if he's genuinely unhappy, and aided by his age and desire to always meet new people, he WILL move on. TRUST ME. A few months from now he'll say, "Amanda who?"

Excellent work, but had to fix one detail.

To the OP: John sounds more interested in the chasing than the having. He gets bored when the chase is over. The prospect of chasing a new girl is more interesting than being with a familiar one. This is why guys like John go after girls like Amanda. She's really not worth having (i.e., it's not good 70% of the time), but she's interesting to chase after. Not that I'd relate to that at all..... However the fact that John is alone is a result of his own decisions whether he knows it or not. If he does not like it, he should be asking himself why he's passing on two other girls to chase the one that drives him nuts most of the time.

I see this kind of thing every day Aman. Give the man a car that tears up a lot so he will be forced to spend all of his time and money on it, thus leaving no time for other BS.
