Don't date the messenger! Why your bestie shouldn't dump your BF for you

  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
  • Puppy love? Puh-lease
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.”

Lately I haven't been in a completely good mood toward my boyfriend. I am only a few days away from my period so that might be it. Sometimes I just don't want to text him cause we do it all day everyday basically and we run out of things to talk about, and it gets boring and I feel like I just need a break from texting for a day at least. I am going camping over the weekend so I think that will help cause I won't be able to text a lot. If that doesn't how do I tell him I need a day to myself?




Hey girl, it's totally okay to want a li'l space sometimes. Camping should be a great break, but if that doesn't have you back to normal, try not texting your BF back immediately every time he texts you. Unless he texts you a million times asking why you're not responding, just ignore his text for a few hours and enjoy whatever you're doing. Then when you're not busy, you can apologize for being away from your phone and check in with him. But if he keeps texting and is upset that you're not responding, you might have to nicely tell him that you're gonna be busy and that you'll answer when you get the chance.

That happened to a boy in my class right before math. And guess who was sitting next to him in that class? Me, of course! I was prectically his therapist and he almost started crying on me! And the best part, (major sarcasm noted) he started to like me! It was awful!

Here's another reason why you should send a friend to dump a guy for you: You wouldn't want your bf's friend to dump you for him.
