PAL (amigo) PROBLEMS | My best friend has no time for me since he got a girlfriend.

DEAR DEIDRE: SINCE my best mate got a girlfriend, he doesn’t have time for me any more (mais, não mais).

We used to hang out (sair, andar, passar tempo) together all the time, and he was the only person I could really talk to, so I’m gutted (desapontado, arrasado).

We’re both 17 and at college together.

We met on the first day, and bonded (criar laços, unir) over a love of gaming.

But last month, he started seeing his first ever girlfriend and he seems to have forgotten I exist.

I want him to be happy, but I’ve always been shy and find it hard to make friends.

DEIDRE SAYS: Sadly, friendships do change, especially when a romantic partner comes on the scene (entrar em cena, aparecer).

He’s in the honeymoon phase right now, and only has eyes for her. But he still needs a mate, so don’t give up on him (desistir de alguém).

Send him a message saying you would love to meet when he has time.

It’s always good to have a few close friends to rely on (contar, confiar) so do get involved with any new opportunities and clubs.
