My boyfriend spends all of his time with his best guy friend. They've been friends since 3rd grade and I often get left out while they have fun together. How can I become #1 in my guy's life?

If you dare to be the woman who tries to come between your man and his friends, you'll most likely end up being "that girl he used to date." Men have that annoying saying "bros before hoes" and most men take that misogynist mantra to heart. Trying to come between your boyfriend and his friends will only lead to disaster. Whatever you say or do will only make him rebel against your wishes and he might just end up spending more time with his guy buddies. If he actually does stop spending as much time with them to be with you, he'll slowly grow to resent you and will see you as the witch who stole his life away. Let him come to you when he wants to. Your time together will be that much better because he actually has a desire to see you. Try to spend time with your other friends. Enjoy your time with your girls. Enjoy your alone time. If he doesn't have the desire to spend what you deem enough time together, remember that there are plenty of other guys out there who would love to make you their #1 gal.
