Q: There is this guy I like I told him I liked him, he freaked (He has a girlfriend). We would "talk" but he would not look. Then a week later we start "talking" again. In class I overheard him say "I'll just be nice to her" to one of his female friends. That hurt,but then later in the week I overhear him saying "I'd screw her" to the same group of friends. What is his problem?
I don't think he hates you, but you've put him in a really awkward position. Guys with girlfriends should be off limits until they break up. He rightfully freaked out, and that is a sign that he is happy with who he has. Saying that he'll screw you might of been just some stupid macho pride game; a lot of guys talk much bigger than they are. Don't take him seriously. And certainly don't become the other woman. It's demeaning to everyone involved, especially you. If he ends up liking you in the future, he should be man enough to be with only you. If not, you need to find someone who respects women enough not to have multiple girlfriends at the same time. Leave him alone; he may eventually break up with his girlfriend and give you a chance, or, more probable, you may find someone better.

Good luck and much love!

bio
TanDancer
I'm back after a hiatus! I have graduated college (yay!) and am working with Thoroughbred racehorses in Kentucky.

I enjoy giving advice to teens because now that I am older, I have a proper perspective of high school, but I am close enough in age that I don't think I'll come off as some idiot with adult problems that has no idea how teenage life works. Generally I answer love life questions, since that is where many self-image problems surface-not to mention it's highly confusing! If you are wondering about my own love life... well, I have been with my current boyfriend for 5 years. We are getting married once he finishes law school, and yes! We are high school sweethearts!

I also love giving advice to dog owners. I have grown up with dogs and currently have two mutt-butts of my own :) I have worked for several different veterinary clinics, including a vet school, I have taken tons of classes, as well as doing personal research.

I try to be understanding of everyone's problems...I also try to see things from the asker's point of view, but often I do not have enough information so I do the best I can!

BTW if you want to ask me a question, please keep in mind: I LIKE--decent spelling and grammer, proper punctuation, and real words; I HATE--using "like" improperly, lack of punctuation, and gross misspellings. I am happy to read and answer any question, but these are just polite things to do for any columnist!
