How to deal with a summer breakup


 

Check these out, too...

  • 16 fun in the sun summertime dates
  • The Real Deal: Why guys hate shopping
  • Saved the best for last day
My boyfriend broke up with me right before I had to leave for camp. I still haven’t let go—I want to work on our relationship. The thing is, he never talked to me much when we were together. Even during school, we never saw each other very often. How can I be the girl of his dreams?            


Dear Heartbroken,

I’m sorry you’re feeling down. But instead of holding onto the threads of this worn-down romance, get out a pretend pair of scissors and—snip!—set yourself free. Really, why try to be the girl of his dreams when you can have dreams of your own? Look toward the future instead of the past, and have fun talking to new friends at summer camp rather than fretting about a guy who wasn’t even all that communicative in the first place. Stay busy, laugh a lot, and don’t let memories of this ex hold you back from having a great summer—starting now.

I really like this guy, but I hardly ever see him (a few times a month). Also, I don't have the guts to talk to him when I do see him, even though I want to. How can I go from not talking to him to talking to him without seeming creepy? And does it mean anything that he doesn't talk to me either? Help!




Hey Girlie!





You might be in your own head too much. Instead of worrying about what he might think, just go up and say hi! It's really easy to talk about music, tv, or summer programs so don't worry about not having enough to say. You definitely won't seem creepy for just starting a conversation. You can't expect him to talk to you without you making an effort first! He could like you too, and just be shy, but unless you start chatting you'll never know!

MOD!!!
So I really like this guy and a few days ago we went to the beach together and he was REALLY flirty. we were in the water and we were just kinda hanging out then he pulled me onto his lap and we were kinda holding hands and he would grab my waist a lot and stuff like that. I though he liked me but then the next day he went and hung out with another girl. People said he liked the other girl but he was soo flirty at the beach, I don't like the other girl and said some mean stuff about her and he didn't defend her at all. Do you think he likes me or was just having fun???




Hey Girl, 

1. don't diss another girl in front of him-- it will only make you seem catty.

2. It sounds like he was definitely interested in you-- but he may feel that way about other girls too. Some guys just like attention from tons of different girls




Just take it easy and wait for him to make a move.




best of luck--

I am going on a date and we want to go out to eat but we don't know where!! What is a restaurant that isn't too fancy but is NOT casual?




Hey Girl, 

You could always try The Olive Garden or TGIFridays. Why not ask your friends for their fav restaurants?

I like this guy, I don't know him very well. He invited me to a party and I want to say yes. But my guy friend, who's much closer with this guy, said that he just wants to hook up with me Frown What should I do? The guy is a year older btw.

 

Hey babe,

I would trust your guy friend.  He would def know what's going on.  You're free to say yes to the party, but just keep in mind that he may just be after one thing.
