BIOGRAPHY:
My name is Carrie, and I just recently turned 25. I've been told that I give excellent advice, so I created this column last year with the intention of helping as many people as possible. Although I do believe I succeeded, I ultimately turned my back on this column when I discovered just how cruel and thankless some people can be. Almost one year later a lot has changed. I've gained a whole new perspective on life and the world around me. I'm much more positive, sympathetic, and willing to listen when people truly need help. So now I've decided to come back and focus my attention on the individuals who are truly in need of advice.
ADVICE:
I'm very genuine when it comes to giving advice. I try to be sympathetic to the person asking the question, but I don't ever sugar coat things. I've learned quickly that many people who ask for help don't really want advice - they want someone who will say what they want to hear. Sorry, but you're not going to get that with me. I'm not here to make friends (if a friendship happens though, yay for me!). You'll always get the truth from me whether you like it or not. While the truth may sting just a bit to begin with, it will absolutely set you free in the long run. If you want to be lied to, please seek advice from somebody else.
CONTACT INFO:
If you like my advice and have additional questions for me, click on the link right underneath this profile that says "Ask Me A Question." If you leave your follow-up question for me in my feedback, I have no way of replying to it. Please use the link. Also, I have an e-mail address where people can get in touch with me if they need to. Feel free to use it.
IMPORTANT:
This may be a hobby in some people's eyes, but I don't like it when people waste my time regardless of whatever it is I'm doing, which in this case, is providing a free service out of the kindness of my heart. So please don't ask me stupid questions, and please make an effort to type sensibly so that I can read and understand your question. I know there are a lot of young people on this site, but that's no excuse to type like you're brain dead. Proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation is highly appreciated with me. The more intelligent your question is, the more intelligent of a response you'll get from me.
ABOUT ME:
Here are some facts about me. I like pop music (especially Madonna). I like horror movies (especially Scream). I like to chat (on MSN). I love to write (poetry, screenplays, short stories). I love shopping (Best Buy). I'm a gamer (I'm better than a guy - Xbox 360 all the way). I have a MySpace (Click "Ask Carrie" for the link). I love my doggies (I have 2). I'm not a bitch (...well, sometimes). I love to laugh (and sometimes I pee a little when I do). It happens.

I currently broke up with my lying cheating boyfriend, and I'm interested in getting out there and meeting some new guys to get my mind off of everything that has happened over the past few days.
Me and my friend are dressing up cute and going out tomorrow. We're going as a group of 4-5 friends, but we're the only girls. We're bringing the guys because we're testing the theory that when you're single, no one wants you, but if guys see you with someone else, they're intrigued by you...especially if the guys aren't particularly attractive.
What sort of places can we go where there will be some guys (around the age of 17)? We live in South Carolina, so there isn't a big amount of places, but we were thinking of going to this coffee shop, then to Bellacino's for lunch, and then we're going to hang out at the mall. Are there any other places we should check out? (link)

Being from Charleston, South Carolina, I can tell you from experience that there aren't many places to go hang out when you're a teenager. I'm not sure where exactly you're located at in SC; however, I do know of a few places here in Charleston where you might be able to go out, have a good time, meet some guys, and not have to spend a ton of money. Here's a few of your options:
Frankie's Fun Park is an excellent place to go with a group of friends. You can play games, play miniature golf, ride go karts, etc. They have a nice little eatery inside, and it's the perfect place to spend a day just goofing off and having fun with friends. Plus, places like these are guy magnets. Just take a walk by the batting cages and you're sure to turn quite a few heads!

Carolina Ice Palace is another place that can keep you entertained for several hours. Besides the game room where you can win prizes, you can ice skate, play hockey, and there's also a kitchen that serves delicious food. For some reason, food tastes insanely good when you're cold and spending the day on the ice. There's also an upstairs lounge with comfy couches and big screen TVs.
I used to go there for two reasons. Reason #1: Watching people fall down while ice skating NEVER gets old! It's just impossible. Reason #2: The South Carolina Stingrays (hockey players) often use the Carolina Ice Palace to practice before big games. Watching those gorgeous men work up a sweat on the ice is a lovely experience every girl should have. Also, the guys are actually really nice and will talk with you if you're interested.
Use this to your advantage! Flirting with an athlete will make the guys around you go crazy with jealousy. This will definitely get their attention. And if you're lucky enough to score yourself one of those sexy Stingrays, who cares about 17 year old boys anyway? Regardless of your intentions, you'll more than likely find something really fun to do while you're there.

The Plex is a place I've just recently began to frequent. In case you're unaware of what it is, it's a night club / bar / entertainment venue. There's no age limit - of course if you're under 21 you won't be able to drink, but you can still get in. There's a lot to do there and they usually have some kind of exciting entertainment sponsored by 95SX. Recently, Lily Allen performed there.

Other than those three places, nothing really comes to mind. If you live near Myrtle Beach or Columbia you have have many more options than those of us in Charleston. I might suggest bowling, which is always fun - bowling alleys are usually chock full of cute guys. Also, the beach, which is inexpensive, is usually a great place to meet and view some shirtless eye candy.
Keep me updated and let me know what you decide to do. Oh, and good luck finding a new guy. Hopefully this one treats you much better than the last one!

Thanks so much! I live in Lexington near Columbia, but you gave me some great ideas. It really helped. :) And thanks for wishing me luck. I sure hope my next boyfriend treats me a whole lot better. :D
