Distant Valentine: Is he worth the broken heart?


 

Check these out, too...

  • Do long distance relationships work?
  • What he really thinks of your fave summer outfit
  • How to deal with a bad kisser
I have a boyfriend, but he lives in a different state. I talk about him a lot at school, and my friends are getting annoyed with me about it. I’m too nervous to call him, and he’s never online. We have been going out for three months, but I haven’t seen him for two months. I’m kind of sad all the time. Do you have any suggestions about how I could get happy again?
 

Dear Unhappy,

It’s better not to have a Valentine at all than to have one who’s not there for you. Some long-distance connections survive through e-mails, calls and letters. But if you and this boy hardly communicate, what’s the point? You can find the courage to write or call, or you can decide this pain isn’t worth it and that it’s time to step away. When you’re under a boy’s spell, it’s not always easy to break. But it is doable. Be independent, talk to your buds about other topics, get more involved in the here-and-now, and you’ll soon be your cheerful self. Besides, there will be other BFs in your future, I promise. Even ones in your own state!

MOD MOD MOD... I went to camp last week and met this amazing guy. We became really good friends the first day and flirted and hung out all during camp. Everyone at camp teased us about liking eachother but we always denied it. I really did like him though, and I think he liked me back because he always flirted with me. He asked me if I liked him, but I was too embarrassed to say yes in front of everyone at my camp, and now I regret it! Then camp ended before I got a chance to get a way to contact him, and I really miss him. We had talked about where he lived though, so I know his address. Would it be weird to write him a letter to stay in touch? I can't stop thinking about him, but is it even worth it if he lives in a different town? And if I did write the letter, would he think I was weird for remembering his address?

 

hey! I think that's romantic and awesome! You should do it, what if you never get another chance? You only live once you know?

Ok, so this is kind of long..My mom has a friend(we will call her R) and she has two sons. A younger one who is ten(lets call him L) and an older one who is one or two years older than me(lets call him J) anyway I see L all the time but not J. I figured out that L likes me but I dont like him..I like J. so they were going to come over to our house for a visit and I asked my mom if J was coming too. She said maybe and that he has a girl he thinks of as his gf. So anyway I am totally heartbroken about that. But, when they come over it will be really weird because L and J will be there. Is it ok if I flirt with J. How do I do it without hurting Ls feelings, because he is like a little bro to me. How do I flirt with J? Also, I like my neighbor and he likes me and I was wondering how to take it to the next level with him to see if he likes me still.

Hey girl,

If he has a girlfriend, you shouldn't flirt with him -- if you were his gf, would you want him flirting with other girls? You don't have to say anything to the younger one unless he does first, so just stay friends with him and keep hanging out that way. As for your neighbor, why not hang out and see how he acts around you? If he's available, that could be a great way to distance yourself from both brothers with a new cutie!

MOD MOD MOD! I got dared to ask out this guy who I thought I didn't like. I asked him out and he said yes. I dated him for a week and I was supposed to break up with him but my friend did behind my back. Now I feel that I like I want to still date him. What should I do?

 

I think you should leave him alone. This whole situation is so very hurtful. You asked him out because of a dare...not because you like him. Imagine how hes feeling. I bet he feels so low because you didnt actually like him and your friend dumped him for you. So i suggest you give him space and leave him alone. He doesnt deserve to have his feelings tossed around. xoxo kerra
