I have a good friend. He always ends up chatting to the same girls I'm after on Facebook, even when he knows I'm after them. A few of them he actually tries to big me up and make them like me more, like I said he is a good mate. But the thing is he is probably a lot more interesting in conversation than I am, he's a natural, and the girls end up more interested in him than they do me. Now I don't wanna piss him off by telling him to back off, however I also don't want to be putting him down because he's a mate trying to help me out. Also, if I big him up the way I would with a normal boyfriend destroying routine (straw man routine etc.) I'm afraid that will only make them like him even more?

(actually now I think about it, is his bigging me up doing the same thing as the strawman routine? And blowing me out? Haha...)

I don't know how to approach this, the guy can't keep stealing my girls. What would you do?

If he truly is a good friend he would not do so on purpose. Also, if he truly is a good friend, he will understand it if you talk to him about it. Perhaps he just hasn't thought about it. On the other hand, he might be doing it on purpose. I think you should make up your mind whether he would react positively or negatively if you confronted him about it.

If you go about it in a humble and respectful matter, there shouldn't be any conflict, however that would also make you beta. However if you went head-on with him, he is still the one getting the girls, so turning him into an enemy wouldn't really help you.

If he is doing it to help you, he should realize that he should stop "helping you" if you asked.

Thats another thing, I really can't tell whether he's doing it on purpose or not. He does seem to be good at working people and getting them to help him out. I guess I'll have to tell him exactly what I think.

I would have done the same. Just make sure that you don't piss him off, as you said yourself, by starting a fight.
