Anonymous asked: Hi. I'm transferring to a new school in another city this fall, and the guy I like goes to a different school but in this same city. He has a gf though so it's going to be difficult for me to see them! How do I handle this? He was good friend of mine ever since childhood but it's tough t to see them together so I'm just trying to be happy for him.. It's going to be awkward running into them tho cuz this city is a very small college town. Any advice?
I am/never will be an advocate of pursuing someone who is already taken. That being said, take the move as a chance to meet new people and take your mind off the guy you like. A new school will bring a lot of opportunities your way, so you should take advantage of them. Focus on having fun and doing things for yourself (and getting good grades).
Best of luck, anon!

I’m really sorry to hear about your situation, anon. I don’t have any experience in what you’re going through, but I recommend that you distance yourself from the guy and his girlfriend; If you constantly see them, you’ll only feel worse about everything.
And as difficult as it may seem, I recommend that you try to find someone new to focus on. Although you regret your decision, there’s nothing you can really do but be happy for the couple, and find yourself someone that makes you happy.

Anonymous asked: Any advice for someone that likes a guy that is already in a relationship.
Under no circumstances should you try anything with him while he’s taken. A) It’ll make you look like a homewrecker, and B) A guy who will cheat is not someone that you want to be with.
As difficult as it sounds, I think you should turn your attention toward someone that isn’t already in a relationship. There’s no use in pining for a guy who doesn’t think of you as a priority. You’re better than that.

Anonymous asked: [for once not a creepy question lol u get a lot of those]-How do you deal with stuck up girls? I'm a girl&had to defer a year last yr 'cause of a family emergency so I didnt graduate college with my friends,So this year im completing my final semester so I can grad;Problem is,my classmates dont want to get2know me cuzIm a new girl-Im nice to em all but Ive also become rly shy 'cuz I don't know any of em-Despite my efforts,some of them act like im not there/I think they r gossipin bout me!advice?
First of all, thank you for the non-creepy question, anon. It’s refreshing that there’s something in my ask box that doesn’t have to do with sex.
To answer your question, I don’t deal with stuck up girls. I know it’s going to sound arrogant, but I figure that if I’m nice to people and they still don’t give me the time of day, they aren’t worth the effort. Don’t waste your time trying to impress people who don’t see how amazing you are. Instead, focus you attention on those that already care about you.
As for being shy, look at it this way: You’re new, so you have a clean slate. If you put yourself out there, you haven’t got anything to lose when it comes to strangers. The worst that could happen is that they don’t want to hang out, and chances are that you’ll never have to talk with them again. On the other hand, if you make a friend, you’ve gained a whole lot.
And it sounds cheesy, but just smile and be yourself, anon.
