Q: okay so my best friend [ he's a guy ] is leaving in a week to go to an early summer program for college then starting college.. i want to get him something either just for him or for his dorm.. he already has picture frames and stuff and i dont want it to be cheesy... help?
Gifts don't need to be bought. Make him something to remember you by or give him something he'll remember you by. That's not cheesy, it says that he is a great friend and that you'll miss him. It doesn't have to be alot. Something simple will send him the message.

Q: This girl and i have known each other for 6 months. She says she dosent like me but still wants to go on dates and says if she liked me she would love to be my girlfriend. She and i planned a date for next week. then an hour later she said she was busy actually. isaid its okay and we would try for another time. She then said nevermind i will just cancel my plans. i told her not to but she did. Then i found out the plans were to hang out with a guy. i told her to just go along with her orginal plans but she inisted that we go on our date. I agreed that we would just go on our date. a little later she text me saying the guy says they really need to hang out and says she cant cancel so she cancels our date. i tell her its okay and i told her to have fun, and she says i will hope u do too. so i said i would by taking some other girl on a date that night. then her other guy friend takes her phone and starts texting me and she lets him be rude and cuss me out and condones his actions. What should i do with our friendship? Is she still worth liking?
Maybe she did try to stop his rudeness but he didn't care. or maybe she was mad at you for taking another girl out. now i know she did the exact same thing but that rule for some reason doesn't apply to us girls. give her another chance, if she does it again then you should break it off. but first explain to her that you don't like that guy to be rude to you like that and that when you have plans she shouldn't make plans with someone else later on.
please tell me what happens and good luck.

Q: my bf and i just had a reaaaaaaaaally rough breakup. we havent spoken in about a week 1/2, and earlier i tried to IM him, making peace, i guess. and he never responded.

i know we probably wont get back together, but i couldnt stand it if we werent at least friends. how long should i give it before i just give up? i dont want to, but i know eventually ill have to. he doesnt seem to have any interest to even talk to me. not even through a computer. what should i do?
I would keep on trying to talk to him. Be kind and say things that a friend would say to another friend. If he continues to not respond then he doesn't want to be your friend and he is being really IMMATURE about this whole thing. You tried and that is all that matters.

Q: \So there's this guy. I don't have any feelings for him at all, honestly. He's just really nice to me and we could be friends. But there's something he does that really annoys/confuses me. I want to know what he thinks of me.

During class, he's always calling my name and like whenever I'm in the hallway and he's behind me, he catches up to me just to talk to me. Sometimes he even ignores his friends for me.

Sometimes I ignore him but he insists on talking to me. And like usually when we talk I think he's fun and easy to talk to. He also does this to another girl in my class, Sarah. He is closer to Sarah than he is to me. He has a grlfriend too, Mimi.

Okay so here is the problem. I don't mind that he has a girlfriend and a girl friend that he's close to. I don't have feelings for this guy. If it matters, I used to have a crush on him and I told him after I got over it. It didn't affect him, so I don't think that's important.

But the problem is sometimes when we talk I think he's really annoying because he brings up Mimi and Sarah, right? And he's like, "You know, Mimi is so perfect. She's so frikking cute."
Like, literally, out of nowhere. We aren't talking about relationships, crushes, or who we prefer or ANYTHING. We could be talking about a movie or a celebrity or something funny that happened in class that has nothing related to Mimi or Sarah and all of a sudden he goes, "Sarah is so pretty and cute. So cute." It's like, why are you telling me this?

Whenever this happens, I pretend I don't mind and go, "Yeah, she is adorable!" and then like get quiet because I don't know what else to say.

To be honest, I find it insulting that he brings up girls in my conversations. I know he doesn't talk about me that way to Sarah or Mimi. I don't mind if he does, but, c'mon guys, you wouldn't like it if your girl friend (just a friend) talks to you constantly about other guys.

So should I stop talking to him? It's getting on ym nerves. He's nice and all, but is he disrespecting me? What do you, a guy, think is on his mind when he does this? Maybe I'm overthinking it??
He thinks of you as a bestfriend, one that he can tell them anything. even about relationships.
