Dear Carol
All my friends have boyfriends. Whenever any of them asks me to hang out, I feel like a third wheel. My BFF invited me to the movies with her and her boyfriend, and she talked to him the whole time and not me. If this keeps up, I’m afraid my friendships will be wrecked. What can I do?

Dear Little Miss Lonely,
Next time a friend invites you to tag along with her and her BF on a date, simply say, “No, thanks. You go have fun. But why don’t you and I hang out tomorrow afternoon?” One-on-one time is ideal for couples and for friends. So if three feels like a crowd, just avoid that situation.

What’s Your Summer Groove?
Are you gonna kick-start your big plans or kick back with your summer sisters?

1.    It’s your very first day of summer freedom (woo hoo!). You decide to…

a.    Whip out your Roxy two-piece and head to the beach. School starts in T-minus three months. You need every minute to scour the crush-worthy scene.
b.    Catch up on some much-needed sleep. Finals drained you. That go-kart and Italian ice date with the crew can totally wait.
c.    Hit the mall with your girls. The calendar is packed with tons of awesome plans, and you need outfits to match.
d.    Wake up at the crack of dawn. There’s a lot to accomplish this summer, and with your completely packed sched, there is little time to waste.

2.    Who doesn’t love a getaway? But when Dad announces you’ll be packing up the SUV and road-tripping to an undisclosed campsite, you…

a.    Roll your eyes but look on the bright side. Maybe a wrong turn on the trail will lead you to a dreamy hiker.
b.    Throw a fit ’til he caves. You’re looking to chill poolside, and a trip would intrude on your relaxation plans.
c.    Are excited, but try to talk him into letting one of your girls join.
d.    Opt to stay home with Gram. July’s the busiest month for your book club.
