Hello :) Boy, 17 years old; so far without a girlfriend. For about 3 years I have known a girl one year and 6 months older than me. Coincidentally, we both became closer to each other. In short - I know a lot about her, she knows a lot about me (I share more, but it is a more open book to read than myself). For her - she does not allow many people close to her (she is sociable, she is just a complex person), that is - she should be impressed. He "believes" in the "pink world" and in "unicorns" or at least tries to believe in it (most likely a kind of defensive reaction from the world). I'm a pretty good friend to her, who is important to her, but at the same time I'm the kind of person who keeps her thrilled (almost everything she can expect from me - ideas, behavior, thinking, all sorts of nonsense). She has a "serious friend". From 3 years. However, they are in a "shaky" relationship with him and she is not happy. Background: Before, I wanted to end my friendship because I like her and I am internally tormented while I am with her. Apparently luckily I didn't. I didn't want to hurt her while listening to her problems, because I knew that she was weaker and super vulnerable, which made us closer ...
The other day we happened to write nonsense and ask her again why she was with us at all. her friend may be with someone who cares about her (of course, I mentioned myself in the conversation). Another conversation followed, in which I told her why I wouldn't try to be with other girls (I'm not impressed, but to be with someone just to be with someone and of course for your physiological needs, it's a hell of a pity). It so happened that I then confessed my feelings to her, why exactly I hid them and why I didn't intend to try it at all (so as not to lose a friend). It was as if I felt that I had won her slightly - she thanked me for everything I had done and that I had sacrificed myself (I have the feeling that no one else has done this for her so far). Out of curiosity, I asked her if we could have a relationship in the future, and her answer was "no wonder." We talked a little more and I understood something else she didn't say - she hopes to stay with her boyfriend and start a family with him, because that will be her proof that this "pink world" exists. I doubt she will succeed, because from what she told me, he has hurt her a lot, and more than once, and "he will have to collect the broken pieces of my heart, with tweezers" - her words. I'm not judging her, but I know that her thinking would bring her a lot of whites on her head - she believes in this world, which is not beautiful, but too, too perfect, without signs of mistakes. I realize that if she continues like this, even if she succeeds with what she wants, in the end it will come to her too much and she will regret and blame herself ... I do not want her to leave her boyfriend, but to realize that her stubbornness is ridiculous and her actions themselves prove nothing. To understand that the world is not "pink", but it can be nice / interesting / fun ... Only then to decide whether she will be with her boyfriend or not, whether all this is worth it, even though her relationship is exhausting and only she to make an effort. Last year, they had split up for a while when a drug boy had made her dizzy (I had to watch them while they were together so she wouldn't do something that was quite possible).
Luckily, she returned to her current boyfriend, with whom they apparently have a similar relationship as before (pff, personally, I'm glad she's not with the other boy). Since I know her, I know that if they break up, she may fall into a little despair and catch up with the first person she meets, which I would not allow in any case - there are a lot of guys who want her for sex (to use her) . My question to you is - how can I open her eyes and show her that all this is slightly washed away, that what she believes in, if she doesn't change it, will ruin her? How, if she leaves him, can I show her that she needs to spend time with herself (to understand that her only company is the most important, not so much the company of other people)? Her friends and "friends" have told her that this is not good for her, but only so far. I really want to help her. How do I do that? If I manage, maybe only then I will think about a relationship with her, but for now ... Let me tell you, if it matters at all - she is a workaholic and mainly strives for self-improvement, and I am headed to "self employment". That is - in parts we both complement each other. Thank you all for your time and advice :)

Life will open both her eyes and yours, as it opened ours, to those older than you. It is best not to interfere in other people's lives, loves, interests, etc. The fact that someone trusts you and shares you does not mean that you have to commit to arranging his life as you think. must be. What is good for one is not so good for another. For now, the girl is dating someone else, whatever their relationship is, they ONLY affect them. If SHE asks you for a boyfriend, she will let you know. Women are the ones who choose which man to sleep with, have a family, a child, etc. eventually. Maybe if she breaks up with him, she'll ask for someone else - it's her right. No one has appointed you to be her guardian, guardian, mentor, or whatever you can think of. The other boys wanted sex, that's what every man wants, do you want her because of her character and success at school? Instinct is at the heart of gender relations, but you cannot dictate its choice. You can express your opinion, give advice and help if they want it, but that's it.
