Sounds like you guys are in Jr high, which means you don't really have much choice of the people you see, but that guy isn't your friend he's just the guy who wants all the attention and can't stand to not be the center of it.
Also to me it seems like people throw around the word 'friend' to easily. A friend is not some guy who goes around in public trying to make you look bad or sabotage your efforts with a lady. A friend is the guy who is willing to play wing man. He's the guy who you call if you just got in a wreck and need help and who you know will show up to help you. A friend is someone you can count on. He's not that guy that you sometimes hang out with in a big group of other guys who really only have the fact that they are in the same location in common.
I've got a couple friends, but I have plenty of acquaintances or people I'm willing to be social with. Personally I blame facebook and myspace with their 'friends lists' and how people seem to be insulted if they aren't on it. It should be 'people I know' list and if you're not on it is because I either don't know you or hate you.
The value of the word friend has really declined over the years.

Wow...worst day imaginable.
In this kind of a situation, your response is the more important. The girl was surely looking to your reaction to decipher what to make of it. If you had laughed it off you'd have looked good, by becoming awkward you make yourself look bad.
Anyway, I'm sorry that your life is ruined.
Yup. Piss taking is just part of being male friends.Mad Stalin said:

Never talk to him again, break off all contact. Yes, I have had "friends" like that, and the best thing is to get rid of them and forget about them so you can have friends who make you happy, and vice versa. Don't cling to idiots, get rid of them.kidwithxboxlive said:
I had a dick friend, but not in the way you discribed, he was more of a subtle dick. When we were really young, like 13, we played card games like yugioh and what not, he would steal cards I had, cheat like mad, etc etc.
When that was done we moved on to video games where this crap continued, IN EXAMPLE, in Phantasy star online I would bring my character over via memory card, play, forget to take my character back, and while I was goine, he would access my character, steal my stuff, and say my character got corrupted, only to see his with ALL MY STUFF. so I stopped playing online games with him.
The last straw had to be when the game we played moved from co-op to versus, we would play every game 1v1, his rules, his maps, on anything,
Example time again, Halo 3, we would play a broken zombie game where the humans could sit in this one spot and the zombies would be cattle to the slaughter because all the weapons spawned where the human would spawn.
After all this, I confronted him on it, told him that if he wasnt going to balance the teams then its not fun for anyone, told him that both sides to anything need to have a equal chance from start to finish for the games to be fun, but of course he didnt listen.
In case you cant tell I dont talk to him anymore.

Jesus. I thought there were dicks in my school, but that... That's just way out of line.
Punch him in the face. Twice.

Thats the original definition, yeh, but I know that where I live (UK) 'banter' has changed its definition. Now it means being a douchebag, but a douchebag among friends.TrilbyWill said:
OT: Those sorts of people very rarely hang around long, because theres always a way to get revenge for something like that.
Oh, and I wonder how the OP is with this girl now. Tis curious, methinks...
I had a friend pull that on me twice(the boner thing), The first time he was to close and I gave him a standing uppercut, second time he thought he learned and was out of reach so I nailed him in the forehead with my DS.
We're still friends and we hang out almost every weekend.

Yup, I have a pretty similar story but thankfully it happened when I was in Junior high, so no real damage and I managed to learn from it.kidwithxboxlive said:
Anyway I was walking home this really gorgeous girl from class, she was super cute and everybody I know had a crush on her.
Things were really awkward at first, the whole flirting thing was pretty alien to me cause I was like 12
, but started going really well pass the small talk. We were just starting to have a real conversation, when out of nowhere, a bunch of my "mates" caught up with us and began bullshiting me and joke-flirting with her.There was this one guy who kept joking her "You fancy him?" like he was making fun of me, and I just wanted to knock his teeth out.
Lets say the whole mood was ruined, I was pretty pissed off about it, I also think she noticed which only made things worse
No, the worst part was that I never got the chance to talk with her properly again and a few months later her parents moved to the US, so I never saw her either
The thing is I learned to not let others get under my skin like that ever again, to keep my confidence and not loose my cool.
If you manage to do that when a situation like this happens again, she'll see you have confidence and can manage yourself, and she'll want to see you again.
