Q: Hello,
I was just browsing through all the columnists using a search engine and after reading some of your answers, you seem pretty rational. I am not asking a "specific" question per se. I would just like some input on this. Ok, now, there are all kinds of websites that tell you how to tell if someone is flirting with you or if they like you, but, what I would like to know is, how can you tell if a friends husband is attracted to you? They have to be more discreet about it if they are into you, naturally, because they are married and can't be open about it. So, are there any signs I should be aware of? Sometimes, I am not sure if it is flirting or just being friendly. Thanks in advance for any input.

This is a hard situation in which you don't want to be too foward in case he's just being friendly and then that might screw some things up. On your part you can just make sure you're clear in that your not attracted to him and that it isn't any fun when he does something like that. Some signs that he might be hitting on you is touching you an excessive amount like on the hand or shoulder when his wife isn't around, giving you those certain looks, and an excessive amount of spending time alone with you. Be careful with this because you wouldn't want to screw up the relationship with your friend.
-Hope that helps

Dear Falling Out of Love,
Somtimes you can feel like you're spending too much time with your boyfriend. It's okay, you just need some space. Tell him this, if he really likes you then he'll respect your decision and allow you some time apart. Just make sure you make it clear that you still like hanging out with him. We don't want a "Friends: Ross and Rachel: We were on a break" thing to happen. If this doesn't work and things get worse, maybe you need a step foward in your relationship to make things stronger or maybe you need an actually break, one where you don't see other people, just take time apart to sort things out. If it's not meant to be then it's not meant to be. I hope this helped.

Q: Ok, well yesterday I was talkin' to my friend Jordan and I kept talking about this guy I like, ((Ryan, He's gotta girlfriend. Her mom died. I went out with him first.)) and she was like, "Paige, you need to get over him. I'm sorry but obviously he isn't the one for you. I don't want him to break your heart." And, I guess I keep thinking if I keep waiting he'll break up with Katie and go out with me. I really need to get over him and I can't wait like 5 months, ((I'm moving)) I need to get over him now but I don't know how...

Dear Paige,
Getting over people can be the hardest thing a person can do. Here's what you can do. If you're not friends with him, cut him out. Avoid seeing him, get rid of pictures of you two, and erase his number if you have a cell phone. Then try going on a date with someone else just for fun. If you are moving, it's almost pointless to wait for him to break up because long distance relationships are hard to keep, especially if you're still in school. It will be hard and might really hurt a lot but soon you'll see that a day went by. Then a week. Then a month. and before you know it, it's been five months and you're leaving and you say, "wow, i'm over him... it was hard, but I did it." It may also help to get some closure. Ask Ryan to go out to lunch or meet you somewhere and make some closure. Ask him if he's positive that nothing can happen, that you are trying to get over him and please don't come up to me, that you had fun during the time you were together and you're glad you can leave it on a good note before you move. It will make you feel so much better.
