Teasing from friends Options

[SimplicityGirl]

So I have this...crush on one of my close guy friends. And we hang out together a lot and do things together. Some of my friends...like to tease about us a lot. And I don't mean those harmless little jokes that goes along the lines of "Ooooh...you like so and so" and all the nudging and staring that goes on whenever he comes into view. They make really perverted jokes about it. Like one time I was wearing this rather billowy dress, and they said "Wearing that for *insert crush name*? Easy access for him right?"...and it's just stuff like that. They accuse me of "flirting" with him whenever I hang out with him...and it's getting to the point where I'll try to avoid them so they don't bring up the topic of me and my crush. It's getting really annoying too...when they accuse me of doing everything with him.

So I guess what I'm really trying to ask is...how do I let them know that I don't like it? I've tried telling them, tried blocking them on MSN, tried avoiding them, tried shrugging it off, tried to act indifference to it...but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

When they start doing it stop, look (cut them off if you want) and say "Excuse me is there a problem here? I mean seriously, I'm starting to think there's some animosity goin around concerning me and my guy friend and I'd gladly appreciate it if someone steps up to the plate, stop the BS, and let me know." And then look concerned and then calm. And then they will look stupid and then realize how jealous they are of you and him and say "nothing..." knowing it is lies, they will know that you know what's up, then they won't do it again.

Or say "wow, you seem to be more concerned about him than I am."
Sometimes friends need to be put in that little line.

Changing your comfort zone for one who is teasing you or being negative towards you is a no-no, girl. Your friends should be the last people you have to hide from. If they don't like it, they need to get away from you two, they must like something or want something you two have if they are still right there staring. They so don't know how to cover up their jealousy.
