is there something wrong with me? or the men?

I am from an all girl school and I have guy friends that I have met through study groups or interactions provided by my school. When i go out with a guy, i have fun and he starts to talk more to me....but when I invite one of my girl friends, the guy starts courting her without me knowing and just doesnt contact with me, he talks to me less, he pays more attention to her even if they only met like a week ago and I have known them for 2-3 months...is there something wrong with me? my friends? the guys?

1) You are young and so are the guys, which is why they are acting stupid. 2) This girl is not your friend if she is stealing your guys. That's what we call a classic "toxic" friendship. Move on and be friends with someone who won't undermine you. 3) This is not the way life will always go for you, even though it seems like that now. I think you need to get some new friends and some new guy friends. And barring that, just wait until college when the guys are less stupid. Seriously, I know a girl who never got a date (not even asked out to a dance) until college, then there were guys all over her.

Sometimes, you just have to get to a place where people are more mature.
