ok my best friend was recently in a car accident and it happened on my birthday and he passed away later that night and he was the only person who actually understands me and i dont know what to do bc im lost and no one understands me like he did and i just dont know what to do (link)
Sometimes lives take unexpected turns that we all need to overcome, but we all need to stay strong. Im very sorry about your best friend and hope everything is ok. Im here if you need someone to talk to. But as for him only being able to understand you, your gonna need to try to find others to understand you as well. God Bless


Over the past few weeks I've gotten to know a guy I have a couple of my classes with. We have a lot in common and we talk all the time. I guess you could say I have a crush on him and it almost seems like he likes me back. The problem is he has a girlfriend. I respect his relationship with her but they fight all the time. He's always telling me how much of a bitch she is and how he doesn't want to talk to her. I asked a friend and she told me to talk to him about it but I don't want to sound terrible asking him if he likes me because he's been dating this girl for a while. Help me out? (link)
Well it depends on how you want to take it. You can be there for him through his problems and show how much you support him. I wouldn't jump the gun with you telling him you like him just yet because it could show up later to his girlfriend or other people that could cause a problem. Get really close to him in your own way


my friends are the bomb but some are 2-faced how do i tell them that they lie to much with out being mean? (link)
They won't take it easy no matter how you tell them, and two-faced people usually stay two-faced from my experience with them. What ever you say to them make sure it's nice and make sure not to use TWO-FACED, thats straight out asking for it :) If they are truely your friends they should understand where you are coming from...


Okay, here is where it started - two years ago, my bestest friend moved away down south and I was devastated. For that time where she wasn't there, I lost touch with my other friend and we sort of fell apart although we were still friends but just drifted away. During that time, I got to know another girl that I was friends with but not that close to and I found out she was so much alike to me, almost like my soulmate - we understood each other instantly, made each other laugh and most of the time we think exactly the same things. I was settled and happy.
A year later, my old best friend phoned, saying she was moving back and I was just overwhelmed...but a few days later I was thinking that I enjoyed life as it was already and I felt guilty of thinking this, I didn't really want her to move back. Well, a month later, she did, and came back to out class. Things were pretty much as they were. I looked on her mysapce however and it seemed she had made atleast a dozen close friends and a new best friend where she was and kept going back to see them every weekened or so. This made me feel a bit sad- why did she move back if she enjoyed it that much there? Sometimes when I touch on the topic about her moving away she appears really upset and I know that she's thinking about her friends. It seems really awkward and I don't want her to be sad- I just feel really upset because her new friends are far closer to her than to her friends here. Because she left, I am really really close to the new best friend I made and she is one of the bestest friends I had ever had. I don't want my friend who moved back to be sad, I know how she feels and how her other friends would feel but I feel as though I'm almost taking her away to somewhere she doesn't want to go.

I guess it isn't really a problem, but I find it hard to mend things with her now because things are so awkward.

Sorry that this was so long. (link)
People Change Over Time, Things Happen, And Friends Eventually Fade Away. Dont Feel Bad For Her Moving Back, But Maybe Get To Resume A Friendship With Her Or Attempt To As Awkward As It May Seem, Comfort Her There. It Was Her Descision To Move Back.


hey dennis.

okay.. i love my friends more than anything and they've gotten me through really tough times. But for like,, ever, they've been making fun of me. im a blonde so that combined with the fact that i make some stupid mistakes, they always tell me i have no common sense. it really bugs me because i really am smart but thy just point out the stupid things i do.
how can i get them to stop and realize that there's more to me than blonde hair and stupid mistakes? (link)
Well There Could Be Many Ways To Look At This Depending On How Serverly They Do This To You. They Might Be Just Doing It To Get Humor Out Of It, They Could Be Using Humor To Teach You A Lesson, Or They Just Arent Your True Friends (Which I Think They Are For Helping You Through Alot). As For You Getting Them To Stop, Tell Them Nicely Tell Em Its Getting Old. Show Them You Are More Than Just A Blonde, Because Im Sure One Of Them Is Gonna Have A Problem And Go To You. Everyone Makes Mistakes, Dont Listen To Them Unless Its A Positive Outcome.


hey dennis, well ive been having problems with my best friend jamie. shes been my best friend since 2nd grade and we have never EVER had a fight. well i recently moved back to new york again as you may know and i told myself i really would see her no matter what or where i lived. and we hung out the whole summer and had a great time and now we are slowly drifting apart. its not that we want to or were becoming different its that the distance is holding us back like my mom doesnt wanna keep driving me over there all the time and its hard cause both of her parents work alot. i really need to be with her sometimes because my new friends here are nice and all but they dont know me like she does. what do i do?? (link)
Theres nothing you can do besides talk to as much as you can on here. Distance pays a big toll in friendships... All I can really tell you is talk to her on the phone or online. Keep conversations with her to keep your friendship going!


Hey,at the beginning of the school year i asked out this guy i liked because ive been friends with him for a few weeks and i thought he liked me. he turned me down and i wasnt sure how he'd act around me but hes so nice to me and i think he tries to treat me like he did before i asked him out. its been super awkward now though. im sort of friends with him again but i get this weird feeling like its not going to go any farther. i dont mean like bf/gf but as better friends. i dont know what to do. im not sure if i should stop talking to him as much or something but i still want to know him. its so confusing and i dont want to mention it to him. should i just give up? (link)
Do Not give up! Just wait things out im sure you to will warm up as friends again, and if not tell me more about whats going on...


um just that how do i tell if i am wasting my time or if its worth it with out lettin this girl know i like her? (link)
For a girl you like, its never wasting time. Well there are many ways to talk to a girl without showing you like her. If you talk to her already, talk to her more. If you notice shes open or happy around you, flirt a bit, she might like you (esp. if she laughs alot). Or just talk like an average friend


hey dennis your pretty amazing. want to be my new best friend? (link)
Of Course!


i trusted someone and told him pretty big secrets about me and one other person and now they said if i ever got them mad they'd tell people. im really nervous. what can i do? (link)
You really cant do anything. Just treat them well and build trust up with them because what they are doing is downright dirty to do...


basically i think that you and i should talk. (link)
I think we should too, if I knew who you are ;]


there is this one friend i have and like she is always insulting me and like yea so wat should i do? (link)
That could be a sign that she likes you ;]
Umm just wait it out and put up with it haha, that what I did. Some girls are like that. Or she could just hate you, play it out...


heyyy dennis its amanda the one who use to sit at ur lunch table till things got weird between me n matt=[ well i wanted to say i miss you and ur emo hugs cause i havent talked to you in a long time


oh and thanks for the advice =P (link)
Aww

Anytime :]


ok well i was really good friends with this guy but then i started to like him and he liked me to then for some reason he didnt like me like that any more and now hes acting diffrent then befor i liked him and i want thigs to go bak to how they were before o and i am a freshman at shen and u no me=]

how should i try to do that?? (link)
Very Confusing, but you can take this situation the easy way or the hard way. Tell him how you truely feel or sadly just let him go before you get in too deep. Just search out his feelings and keep me updated :]


okay. Sooo i've been talking to this kid.. uhm we can call him "dexter".. for like 4 hours already. Hes pretty rad.. well wait. scratch that.

i hate the word rad.

anwyays, i get to see him in science on monday and i'm wicked excited because hes the only one that keeps me from going insane (:

Now, almight advice giver dennis.. do you have any advice on how to be as awesome as "dexter" is?

(link)
Awww


i wasnt really allowed to talk to you before because of my boyfriend but things kinda went wrong.
i want to talk to you, you seem really sweet.
IM me if you want to talk or get to know me or.. whatever.
hixim RADx (link)
Aww Thankyou :]
I Will Talk To You!


so yeah. I have this Friend. Actually shes like one of my best. And she really likes this kid. Its the first time in a long time that shes felt right with a guy but as much as she likes him and hes in love with her from what i know; Alot of people admire him. I trust this boy because of how much he loves her and all but i've gotten hurt and so has she and i just dont want her to get crushed again.

He hasn't cheated on her from what i know and hes inlove with her but like how do i kinda watch over and protect my best friend without one: getting in the middle and two:hurting anyone or like being the "stalker best friend". (link)
Well, You Should Just Stay Out Of It But Let Your Best Friend Know If She Needs Anything You Are There For Her. To Be Honest, If You Do Get In It, The Problems Between Them Could Get Worse.


heyyy! well i have an advice thingy too i saw it in ur profile!! and i got on i think they`re soo cool! i love giving advice... even though people didn`t ask me yet. oo well hows ur summer going? (link)
My Summer Has Been Wonderful, Yours?


yeah but he's changed into this total a**hole. and pretty much no one wants to be around him, and he doesn't seem to care. he's acting like he's king of the world or something when everyone looks down on him now. i don't get why he'd do this when he used to promise me we'd ALWAYS be best friends? (link)
Guys are Guys and you can't do anything about it... Im sorry :\


I used to have this amazing best friend. I started talking to him last summer and hanging out with him a lot, and not that many people knew him because he had been gone for a year. Then school came and he started changing because he got ALL the attention he's ever wanted. He got all the girls and had many girlfriends in the year. All of a sudden things change after he decides that my turn is over and somehow I'm a horrible person. People are ALWAYS saying lies about what happened, and he broke his promise to keep our private relationship exactly what it was - private. Now he's going around telling all these girls he loves them, when quite frankly, neither me or any of my friends think he knows what he's doing. What should I do about this kid? He's really starting to get on EVERYONE'S last nerve with his ego and all this crap he says. (link)
Let him go have his fun, theres nothing you can do. People change over time and maybe what hes doing could be good for him or bad for him. But you can't change him, only he can...
