Tracey,
There is often such a magic in a long distance relationship, that someone isn’t given an opportunity to know the other person in ordinary, everyday circumstances. This is what I sense is happening. I am truly sorry that you are hurting. How much did you really actually know about him? How much time were you able to spend together?

It…[Read more]

Brian,
It is really good that there are several interests that you share with Aimee. When you send her the link to your music, just make sure that you include a few other friends as well. For right now, if you send her messages about other common interests it might be a good idea to include others also.

Her boyfriend by himself!—hmmm! When I…[Read more]

It is really more important for you to decide what you want to want to do in regard to your career. It is such a shame that others sometimes think they know what is best for someone, not considering the individual’s goals, skills, or preferences. Once you have an idea of what type of job you would like to have, then you could modify your…[Read more]

Brian,
Is there any other common interest between you and Aimee other than music? I hope you will send her the link to your music before the end of the school year. I was wondering if you might have another reason to e-mail her? Do you think she would tell you if she and her boyfriend are no longer together? If she should, or if you should hear…[Read more]

Laura,
I sense that the attaction you are feeling is for what has not yet been explored. If you should get together with him the aforementioned problems could still begin to surface. People don’t seem to change all that much.

It might be important to ask youself that if the potential relationship did not work out, would you be comfortable still…[Read more]

Suzanne,
If Colin should contact you, then you might feel comfortable resuming the relationship. However, if he doesn’t make the effort it would not be wise to try to contact him. I think you already have a good sense of the right path to take–

Best Wishes,
🙂

Helen,
Quite possibly the best way for you to get an answer to this question is to try to speak with Corey about it. If you could let him know that you do not want this argument to stand in the way of your friendship. Sometimes people find it hard to let go of anger. He needs to know that your frienship means more to you than to be held back by…[Read more]

Christopher,
I am so truly sorry about what happened to your mom. She has experienced two traumatic events simultaneously. Hopefully she has homeowner’s/renter’s insurance? Sadly those who burglarize homes do not think about who they are hurting. Their only focus is getting what they can and not getting caught. Is there any type of…[Read more]

Brian,
If Aimee’s relationship should end, she most likely would be hurt. She would need time to heal. She doesn’t realize that she is unhappy. She won’t realize this until after the breakup. In time she will start to realize that she is free. Do you have any mutual friends? You might need to rely on someone to let you know if a breakup…[Read more]

Christopher,
You are working hard to finish with school. You have this goal and know what you need to do to graduate on schedule. As for Allie, I really did feel all along that she has someone who she is either interested in or involved with. I think you will be comfortable just keeping her as a friend.

I still believe that when you meet that…[Read more]

Brooke,
You could start by thinking about some good qualities you would like to find in someone. As you focus on these qualities you can also envision how the two of you would come to know one another. As you go about your daily routine you will begin to demonstrate a positive energy that will come from within.

If you can be involved with…[Read more]

Laura,
You already know that your ex-boyfriend isn’t right for you. It would not be a good idea to see him again. The problems that existed in the relationship before are likely to surface again. It would take a lot of work on the part of both of you, and I sense that you would be cautious of the outcome.

As for meeting someone new– if you…[Read more]

Brian,
It might be a good idea to smile and say hello to Aimee even if she is with her boyfriend. Actually say hello to the both of them. If you start to see her without him more often than not, it will be time to really focus in on the situation and see what is happening there!

At this point he might be busy with other classes, activities,…[Read more]

Brian,
Since Aimee was walking upstairs most likely she didn’t see you on your way downstairs. You have sensed that she hasn’t been happy for quite some time. It seems that she was deep in thought when you last saw her. We don’t know what happened on Valentine’s day– Does her boyfriend normally walk her to all of her classes? Due to time…[Read more]

Brian,
It seems likely that Aimee and her boyfriend are kept together by habit, as well as having a class together. If something should go wrong between them at this point it would be difficult seeing one another in class. Also, there would be explanations needed to friends, etc. It is important to remember that the future is not set in stone…[Read more]

Christopher,
I sense that you have recognized within yourself that you have become more responsible and mature within the past year. You are focused on school and you are doing what it takes to do well and to graduate on schedule.

Have you thought about the possibility of a summer job? Even with the tight economy this might be a possibility.…[Read more]

Hope,
You are doing all that you can at work by just going on about your daily routine. I think just about everyone knows how it feels to have to contend with an annoying co-worker! It can sometimes be more troublesome than the job itself! By being professional toward her she will realize that she is not making an impression on you. Just hang…[Read more]

You have very good intuition about people. You seem to really want to give this a try! You might want to communicate a bit longer before you decide if you want to meet in person. Six years difference is not much, especially when the both of you are mature. If you share the same ideals and enjoy spending time together that is what is important.…[Read more]

Christopher,

With Allie you might want to learn a little bit more about her before you make any decisions as to if you would want to ask her out. If you can establish that she is not otherwise involved then you might want to consider it. Often times people are shy and tend to be more open in written communication. She obviously enjoys…[Read more]

Christopher,
Your attitude towards this semester is awesome! You are focused, working hard, doing your very best, etc. School is going well for you because you are making it happen!

Are you in a position where you might be able to talk to Allie privately? You might want to try to find out if she could be seeing someone right now. It seems that…[Read more]
