Advice

DEAR CAROL: My BFF Started Dating My Ex-BF ASAP!

 

I recently broke up with my boyfriend. I couldn’t do it myself because I had to be home by curfew. My friend volunteered to do it for me, so I let her.


The next day, she told me he was upset but that he already has a new girlfriend. Now, I found out his new GF is my friend! Should I tell her I feel betrayed?


Dear Betrayed,

I’m sorry you feel hurt, but I hope you will never again send someone else to do your dirty work. If you want to break up with someone, do it yourself. Say to the boy, preferably in person, “I like you, but I think we’re better as friends. I’m sorry.…” That’s common courtesy and, besides, the message can get mangled if you send someone else to deliver it.


You should speak directly to your friend, too. Say, for instance, “I realize now that I shouldn’t have asked you to break up with him for me, but it also wasn’t thoughtful of you to hook up with him so soon.”

mod mod mod i really hate everybody except for like 3 ppl. can you give me some advice on how to not be so angry and depressed all the time? [i hate ppl cuz ive been betrayed so many times its not even funny]

 

Hey girl! 

I'm sorry you feel these negative emotions all the time. If it gets to be too much to bear, you might want to talk to your parents or guidance counselor about it. Talking to someone who doesn't know all of your friends personally and won't be judgmental may help you feel better.

My crush asked my friend if I liked him and of course she said no because she doesn't know. He said uhhh. I really want to ask her for his number so I can say, "Did you ask Hali if I liked you?" Is that okay? I need to make it seem normal




Hey girl, why not try flirting with this guy and providing your friend's testimony wrong? No need to bring up the question directly. Just send the right signals that will prove that one word answer wrong.

That's messed up if I were you I would talk to her about it and if she doesn't do nothing I would not be her friend anymore

Hey chica, you guys have been friends for too long to let something as small as this break you guys up. So talk to her. Let her know you're her friend too and you want to help her with her problems, so you want her to tell you her problems. Also, tell her you don't like it when she treats you like you're invisible. If nothing changes between you guys, then it may be time to end this friendship. Smile
