-*-JuSs A fRiEnD-*-
Aw girl i know EXACTLY how you feel It's so awkward bein around him and "frends" doesn't sound like a strong enough word to name what you wanna be with him. Who broke up with who? If you broke him and think you have another chance with him, then tell him. If he's the right guy, he'll come back. If he dumped you, on the other hand, play "hard to get". It's the best idea if you were the one dumped. Then he'll realize what a jerk he was. He may not go back out with you, but atleast now he'll remember to think twice about what he does...and what he doesnt do...Hope my advice helps!
Hey.. well me and my friend have been friends for about 8 years now and shes the best thing i have in my life right now! and this year we started high school and its soo different not being with her all the time and we are making new friends but i dont want our friendship to get ruined. we r still really close but not like before : we dont talk or hang out as much and i dont want our friendship to all just go down the drain! i used to be able 2 tell her anything and everything but now things seem weird around us and i dont feel that i can tell her everything like before. Should i tell her how i feel or should i just let the whole thing play out? please help!!

Wow i am going through the same thing. High school is really hard on everybody, especially friends who don't go to the same school. It's very hectic and its hard to find time for old frends. Yes I think that if you want the friendship to truly go back to how it was, i would tell her how u feel, definitely. I mean there's a chance of you all becomming the frends you used to be then why not take a shot at it, and if it doesn't work out, try hangin out more on winter vacation or summer vacation. You might have lost a little bit of the friendship, but wouldn't you rather it be losing a little bit of the friendship over losin the whole thing? Good luck!
leslie,
i heard about your advice column and i really need some help.see, my boyfriend and i were best friends while we were going out and then he found out that he had to move. When we broke up we were still good friends but after awhile he started acting weird like he wouldn't return my calls and stuff like that and then one day he told me that i ruined our friendship and that we would never be able to be friends again. ihave tried to ask him what i did to ruin our friendship but he won't tell me. what should i do because i really love this guy and i miss him. should i keep askinghim what i did? or should i just ignore it?

Well, it seems to me that it's not you that did something wrong. Maybe that's his way of showing that he needs you ni his life still and he wants to see how long you stick with him until you "ignore it"...Or maybe you did do something, but if you did then he should be a good best friend and stop you from worrying and forget it because people make mistakes every single day whether they mean to or know it or not. If he means that much to you, i would stick with him a little bit longer, but if it starts getting out of hand and he still hasn't budged, i would just drop it because what else is there to do you know? i hope everything works out!! if not, write back and i'll keep giving you advice!!

Dear Leslie,
I just saw that you had an advice column and was wondering if you could help me out with this. Me and this girl became friends about a year ago and I knew her boyfriend. Her boyfriend went to the same school as me, but wasn't in my class so we didn't see eachother all too much. Well, about a month ago my friend got extremely mad at me over something ridiculuosly small. She saw her boyfriend and I hugging and made her opinion then and there that it was more than just a "friend-hug," which it wasn't. He told me about something personal in his family and was very upset about it and just needed a little hug. Well, now my friend thinks I like her boyfriend and her boyfriend like me, which is totally not true. I want to tell her the whole story, but she has blocked me from the internet and never returns my calls. She avoids me in every way possible. She was one of my best friends. I miss her alot and I just want her back in my life. Do you have any suggestions??
Signed, a sad friend.
Lucky for you since I went through the same thing not too long ago. Except in my story I actually did do stuff with my friend's boyfrend, only before I knew her, and when she found out, she started ignoring me in the same way your friend is. y friend was very close to me too. I think the most honest answer I could give you would be to tell her boyfriend to explain everything to her and if she still doesn't believe, then she wasn't that good of a friend in the first place. See, friendship is all about love, forgiveness, and trust. If your friend trusted you enough, she would still be talking to you right now. If your friend loved you enough, even if that hug was more than just a friend hug, then your friend should have enough love for you to FORGIVE you. Maybe not right away. Sure it's going to take some time, but...better late than never..right? Stay strong.
Leslie
