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.”

I really like this guy and he likes me too. But he is a year younger than me and I don't know if I should date someone younger than me. Should I date him? Lynae P.

OK so I'm 13 and I have a boyfriend and none of my other friends do. I usually hang out with him on weekends and sometime I invite other friends too. but I never want them to feel like a 3rd wheel so I usually don't invite them anyway so my friends get mad at me if I don't invite them and if I do they always tell me they feel out of it, one girl I was friends with won't even talk to me i want to know how to collaborate my bff and my bf without making someone feel left out can you give me any tips I'm a bit lost. MUCH THANKS!!!

Hey girl,

It's nice that you care about not making your friends third wheels, but if they want to come you should invite them! Try talking about something your bf and friends can talk about, like school or TV. It won't be as awkward as it seems, especially when they get to know each other more!

Okay, first of all my new BF said that he should've kissed me at the school dance which was when we werent dating yet. Even though he is shy, i dont think he'll let the moment pass again. The thing is, neither of us have had our first kiss and I'm worried I'll do it wrong! I do want to kiss him to but what should i do?
Also we always run out of things to talk about when we are texting, any ideas?

 

Hey girl! Kissing is pretty natural, so once you kiss him, you won't have to worry too much about what to do.  Just start out soft. Texting is awesome, but sometimes it's good to take a break when you run out of things to say.  You could also wait longer between texts (if you're in the middle of something, don't stop to text him, jsut wait until you're finished).  Good luck! xoxo

Hi, i have a serious issue. So i just got back from a cruise where i met a really nice guy. He gave me his number and we hugged and did what most bf's and gf's would do. Then just about a half and hour ago i found out he has a girlfriend but he told me he kinda likes me and said he would more if we got 2 know each other better. what do i do. do i tell him how i feel and maybe will he b done with his girlfriend. btw i forgot 2 tell u he lives in Louisiana which is like the other side of the country. Please Help!!!

Hey girl! It sounds like the chances of you hanging with this guy again are pretty low, and wouldn't you feel bad if he dumped his girlfriend to be "with" you, even though you two couldn't be together?  You deserve a guy you can hold hands with, so why not let him know you two are better as friends and let him make a decision about whether he wants to break up with his girlfriend.  xoxo
