Question: I really like my best friend, and I have for a while. I can talk to him about everything and he’s the only person that knows me for the complete mess I am at times. The thing is, I would never want to lose him as a friend. What would you do?
Thanks,
Green Eyes.
Dear Green Eyes,
Honestly, I wouldn’t want to miss up on a chance like this. If you like someone, tell him now because if you wait, you might miss that chance. What I would do is I would try to give him signs and flirt a little bit. If he doesn’t flirt back, then just stop what you are doing. Talk to him one day and then don’t for the next and see if he misses you. From my experience, if a guy takes the time out of his day to listen to your problems, then he cares about you. If you do lose him as a friend, then he wasn’t a real good friend in the first place and you need to think to yourself that its his loss, not yours. This is one of my favorite quotes that I think you should consider… “Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.” Let us know how everything goes. I wish you the best of luck!
Question: How do I get rid of my single girl swag?
-SingleGirl143
Dear SwagGirl143,
If you want to get rid of your “single girl swag”, then try talking to different guys or girls based on your sexuality. Flirt with every guy you talk to a little bit and see which ones flirt back…not to the extreme though where people could start misjudging you. You should also consider asking yourself what the reason is for you being single, and trying to change it. If you cant change it, then make it shine.
Question: I have a problem. My problem is that someone cracked my laptop and I got detention for it. I don’t want to be a rat, but I don’t want to be the one stuck in detention for something I didn’t do. What should I do? Help me!
-Mr Pathos.
Dear Mr. Pathos,
If that person were your friend, they would do the right thing and step up and say that they were the one that cracked your laptop screen. You are the one responsible for your laptop since it has your name on it, so until somebody steps up and says that they did it, then you have to take the blame.
Question:I really like this guy but he dated a close friend of mine. I’ve had a huge crush on him since freshman year but I don’t want to ruin my friendship with his ex/my friend. Please help.
-Broken Confusion.
Dear Broken Confusion,
I think what you should do, is think about if this guy is really worth possibly losing your friend. Personally, I think I’d choose my friend over a boy, because they’re likely to always be there for you- that boy may not. But if you really do like him, you should talk to your friend about it and ask them to be understanding. Whatever you choose, I hope your decision makes you happy because that’s all that really matters!
Question: I caught my “friend” trying to date my boyfriend! We were so close and now I don’t know what to do? Help please!
-Backstabbed beauty
Dear Backstabbed Beauty,
If a “friend” is doing that to you, I don’t think I’d call her a “friend” at all. If it’s possible, I think you should try to work things out with her, but clearly she can’t be trusted. And if you can’t work things out, you’re probably too good of a person to have a friend that would do that to you and disregard your feelings.

Question: My Boyfriend has been hanging out with someone behind my back…I know this for a fact! But I love him…What should I do?
-Heartbroken Helen
Dear Heartbroken Helen,
You may want to believe that he loves you, and maybe he does. Regardless, no one deserves to be cheated on, and if he’s doing that to you it’s going to cause more pain that it does happiness; and relationships are supposed to be about happiness. So, if I were in your position, I’d break up with him.
