Maggie I dated this guy for about six months;I really started to fall for him he was just so wonderful. Then he dumped me to go out with my best friend(Some Best friend). They are still together and she is trying to be my Best friend again. What should i do? I kiss her but what she did was so wrong. Help me please.

Eva, well aparently he wasn't so "wonderful" when he left you for your best friend. Remember that it takes two. She knew you were going out with him and I think that was soooooo wrong of her. Anyone that claims to be a best friend and attempts a stunt like that should not be forgiven. Just kidding. heh, don't get me wrong that was a very dumb move and all, but if you really miss her I think you should try to be just a friend and not "best" for right now. Although it may feel akward for you to be around them, especially him. I honestly wouldn't try to get to close just yet, other than the occasional hi and how are you's. As for being buddy buddy, I don't think I'd be able to trust her so soon. I also believe that things happen for reasons. Always. Maybe he wasn't meant to be yours in the first place. Maybe there was somebody else out there that needed you, and inorder for it to take it's place that "breakup" might have been the best thing for you. I honestly think that you should follow your heart and decide whether you are strong enough to be her friend again or if you still need time. Don't think to much about it, you don't need stress in your life. Just let it take it's course and see where it goes. I also would try talking to her if it will make you feel better. Let her know how much she hurt you and how you feel about the whole thing. Maybe then you can feel a little bit better talking to her about it.

Maggie The people I hang out with are starting to do drugs. I am freaking. I am so afraid of that stuff. I dont know what to do. Should i just stop hangingout with them? Or should i hang with them but just say no? I could really use some advice.

Trevor, you say you are freaking out over this. Why be in a situation where you feel very uncomfortable? I think if you do not feel well about this then maybe you should shy away from them. Drugs are a very big bad issue and you don't want to get caught up in them. Especially if you plan on a bright future. Now if it was a situation in which it was just an experimental once in a life time thing and you've been friends with them for a long time, I'd just give them time to kill their curiousity and just say NO! Why don't you try talking to them about it, or if you rather not and still feel weird about what they are doing try going your own way. And if that is your decision, don't feel bad about it. Think of it as a get out of jail free card. You wouldn't really need it unless you were lured into trouble right? Think about yourself for once, and know that at least you are drug free and won't have to worry about the Consequences that follow the drug world (your health for example). I hope I helped you at least a litte.

Hey Maggie, Do you think it's stupid to be in love with a person over the Internet?

Katt, I guess it can go two ways. Good or Bad. Now, I don't think it is stupid to be in love with a person over the internet. I actually met my fiance over the internet. Talked to him for about three months before actually meeting him (almost 5 years ago). It was the best thing that ever happened to me. Now, I didn't know who he was, I met him in the chat room, but I did know his family so I knew he wasn't some psycho. Just be careful, there are a lot of pervs out there. You don't want to get caught up in that kind of situation. Make sure you get all your facts about him. I don't know if you have met him or not, whether it be in person or on cam but make sure you know that he "is" real. But other than that just remember that love has no boundaries especially in the age of internet. biggrin

Maggie i like to dress in Very tight Wranglers, should i wear that this weekend for the date if the girl is a preppy girl? Or Should I just go to THe Gap and get something? Some girls ain't into the whole Brokeback Cowboy thing you know?

Tubey, I think that you should be yourself. She is going on a date with you for a reason, and I don't think it's because of the way you dress. You never know, some "Preppy girls" have different tastes. Maybe she likes tight jeans on a guy. Hey if you got it flaunt it, right. I don't think you should run off and buy a pair of normal jeans just to impress a girl. Unless it makes you feel better. Believe me, as long as she is having fun, and as long as you where that axe, she probly won't even care if you showed up in your undies. biggrin

Y2J, Ignore him. Don't let him get the best of you. Be strong and have confidence in yourself. Have you tried telling him how you feel about him teasing you? It's not good to keep things in. I guess all big brothers are a like huh. LoL, mine was the same for a while, then he calmed down. So maybe it's a "macho, I'm older than you, ego" phase he is going through. One of these days he will need you, and you can remind him of the times he made you feel bad about yourself, and not help him. I'm pretty sure he loves you, so don't worry about it, you're so young, he's probly playing with you not thinking that he is actually hurting you. You have to open up his eyes. Talk to him about it, you'll probly feel better, and maybe he will notice how much he has hurt you without even knowing. Don't be afraid to talk, it's always good to talk, it's never good to keep things in.

BJ, TELL HIM. THE TRUTH HURTS AND HE NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT SHE IS DOING BEHIND HIS BACK. THINK ABOUT IT THIS WAY, IF YOU PUT YOURSELF IN HIS SHOES, WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, WHETHER IT HURTS OR NOT? NOW IF HE GETS UPSET WITH YOU, JUST EXPLAIN TO HIM THAT THE ONLY REASON YOU ARE TELLING HIM IS BECAUSE YOUR FRIENDSHIP IS VERY VALUEBLE TO YOU AND YOU WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING TO HURT HIM. YOU SHOULD REALLY TELL HIM SOON BEFORE HE FINDS OUT LATER AND BLAMES YOU FOR WAITING TO LONG TO LET HIM KNOW. I WOULDN'T WORRY ON HOW HE WOULD REACT TOWARDS YOU. IF HE'S REALLY YOUR BEST FRIEND THEN HE'D TAKE YOUR WORD FOR IT. HOPE I HELPED :)

MAVERICK, I ACTUALLY WENT THROUGH THIS WITH MY BROTHER BEFORE, BUT HIS WAS FOR A JOB. HE ALSO HAD BEEN GROWING HIS HAIR FOR ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME THAT YOU HAVE. HE'S A BIG ROCKER, IN A BAND, AND WHEN HE HAD TO CUT IT OFF HE PRACTICALLY CRIED. LOL, BUT HE DID LOOK ALOT BETTER. ANYWAYS, THAT WAS FOR WORK, YOURS IS WAY DIFFERENT. I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD CUT IT SOLELY FOR THAT REASON. SHE SHOULD LIKE YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE AND NOT WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE. I DON'T SEE THE REASON WHY LONG HAIR WOULD FRIGHTEN HER PARENTS, UNLESS SHE'S AFRAID OF HER MOM THINKIN YOUR FAVIO OR SOMETHING. LOL. NO BUT REALLY, DON'T EVER CHANGE FOR ANYONE BUT YOURSELF. I SAY STICK UP FOR YOUR HAIR BUDDY. ASK HER TO CUT HER'S AND SEE HOW SHE LIKES THEM COOKIES. HEHE. SHE WOULDN'T DO IT RIGHT? SO SEE, WHY SHOULD YOU.

Magie hello how are you? I am writing because i have trouble with my boyfriend. He says he cares for me but it seems like his friends are more important. Well anyways i caught him kissing this girl who he says is just "His Friend". He said the kiss was harmless and he was just doing it on a dare. Well since then the girl calls him constantly and he always takes the phone outside so i can't here. I like him alot but i don't want to be hurt. Should i just end it now, before things get worse? Let me know what you think.

Corpus Girl, leave him while you can. I always have friends come to me in situations like this. Seriously, I've been there, done that. The only thing is it took me like 4 years to get enough courage to leave him. What you describe to me is how mine started out, and from there he got a whole lot worse. You don't need that kind of pressure in your life. Your young, you don't need to spend your (i'm assuming your a teen right?) teenage life constantly worrying what your boyfriend is doing behind your back all the time. Let me tell you, he tells you that he cares for you, but if he really, really cared he wouldn't have kissed that girl or even be talking to to her on the phone. Especailly in front of you. I went through all of this. I was 15 when it started, and it got a whole lot worse. I didn't get to be a teenager because of him. And your boyfriend and this whole situation gives me flashbacks to that, so I'd really consider leaving him and doing it fast. Again you are young, and there are plenty of fish in the sea. Mr. Right is out there I promise, but you just have to wait for him to come around. So don't worry about being lonely if you get rid of your bf. Good luck, and hopefully you make the right choice. I can actually keep going on this one, lol, but it's just to much. Just be happy if you do leave him because at least you won't have to worry about him cheating on you, lieing to you, or him making you look bad in front of your friends and family.

Nacho, it never hurts to try, right. If you really like her I say go for it. But start it slowly so you can build something, and to see what kinda person she really is. For example, a movie here and there, or a simple telephone call just to talk. And if all goes well you should talk to her about how you feel about that situation of actually "going out together". Hear what she has to say about it. Discuss the possiblities of going out together and what will happen if something were to go wrong. I mean some people can take break-ups or whatevers pretty well, and well, some can just be pyscho about it.

And in that case you don't want to lose your job. Just go with the flow, like I always say things happen for reasons, so go and at least try. :)

John, it's really what you feel like wearing. But honestly I think a suit and tie is nice but to much, you want to be comfortable in an interview especially when some take like 2 hours (like mine was,lol) to get through. A nice pair of slacks, and a nice shirt (either long sleeve callar, or just a nice polo shirt) I think will do you fine. If you really want to be fancy then you can add the tie to a long sleeve callar shirt and wha-la, but so not add the suit. Remember, They don't only look at what you wear, but also at how you present youself. So like I said be comfortable, be youself, and show them who's boss. P.S. Good Luck :)

Zeke, when you are in a relationship you want to feel as worry free as you can right? Why would you want to be with someone that is totally opposite as you?
Especailly one that is going to make you feel uneasy all the time. Look, if you do want to still be with her and not lose your best friend, talk to her. Tell her how you feel about the situation. And go with your gut instinct, if you feel that she is lying to you, then you are better off without her. Seriously, There's a lot of girlies out there Zeke, you don't want to spend your life worrying every minute on what's going on in her life. You want to be happy :) and worry free. It's up to you know buddy, think to yourself if you really want to live that way. With her always partying, especially with guys when you aren't there, or rather you be with a girl that is always by your side, and agrees with your rules? Your life is in your hands, I say go with what makes you happy. But let me just say, that I've been there and it took me forever to make my life right, but I found what I was looking for. So good luck and I hope I at least helped a lil.
