This is my own lil advice column.
So bring me your questions!
Bring me your problems!
And bring me your nonsense!
No letter shall go unanswered!! domokun

Teh Sample Letter

Dear Ruby,
My shoes get sticky when i walk on gum.
I hate having stick shoes!
What oh what shall I do?
Signed,
Gum Shoe


DearGum Shoe,
Wow.
What a hard question to answer.
you got yourself a real problem there.
Wait....I know!
DON'T WALK ON GUM, YOU MUFFIN.
Sincerely,
RubyGloom

And remember you can ask for serious advice too!
So knock yourself out^^

Quote:

Dear Ruby,

I confessed to a guy. He said he "kinda" liked me. I'm taking it as a polite no. I've been watching
him and it seems that he likes some else, but he just didn't want to say so. (and that really hurt
that he didn't tell me.) I could be wrong though.

It's been a while since I've confessed, and I'm somewhat over it. (Meaning that if he asked me
out, I would be very happy, but I just don't feel as strong as a feeling for him.) I'm really glad I
confessed because it made me realize that I want someone who would be more honest with me.

Is there a non-awkward way to tell him that I don't feel that way towards him as much anymore?
I really feel the need to make it clear that I am only interested in him as a close friend and that in
the future I may date someone else. I need closure and I think he needs it too.

Signed,
Trying-to-get-even-more-over-it-through-closure



Dear Trying-to-get-even-more-over-it-through-closure,
Having mulled this one over, the long and the short of it is: there is no non awkward way to deal with this kind of situation.
Life is just awkward!!
So here are your options:
A.) Tell him how great a couple he and some other girl would make, make it plain that you'd be stoked if they got together.

B.) Mention how much you like someone else, make it plain that he's no longer your desire.

or

C. come right out and say it. Let him know youre glad that you didnt hook up and that you can now move on.


Sometimes you just cant beat around the bush with this kind of thing!
Cheers me dear,
Ruby

Quote:

Dear Ruby,
I have a friend who goes after peoples' boyfriends.
What should I do with her?

From,
Not-such-a-great-friend-of-that-person-anymore



Dear Not-such-a-great-friend-of-that-person-anymore,
She doesn't sound like the kinda friend I'd want to have!
Devious people hurt you in more ways than one, have her around could seriously sap your energy!
If youre the upfront type, politely but unmistakably tell her wot you think of her man-stealing ways and end the friendship.
If youre the hide-from-confrontations type *coughcoughlikemechoughcough* then gradually stop seeing her/saying hi/etc and and let her slip away into ex friend oblivion.
Hope that helps!

Cheers Me Dear,
Ruby

Quote:

Dear Ruby,
There is a guy that I think likes me.
But I only see him as a friend.

How do I tell him that I'm not interested in him that way without:
a) Giving him the cold shoulder or
b) Being blunt about it [bc I might be wrong, and he only likes me as a friend too]

Sincerely,
She's-Just-Not-That-Into-Him


Dear She's-Just-Not-That-Into-Him,
The next time your hanging out with him having a killer time, try saying something like:
"Dude, youre awesome, youre like a brother to me", and then quickly move on to another topic.
Nothing squashes romance faster than being compared to a sibling.

Sincerely, RubyGloom

I liked this guy, let's call him Bob, for a year and a half. It was going places until some other girl told Bob that Jenny liked him. Then he dropped me like a hot tomale and started dating Jenny. Now, Jenny's my friend, and she had told me previously that she did in fact like Bob. But she said that she wouldn't ask Bob out because I liked him first. When I asked her about that promise, she told me that SHE didn't ask BOB out, BOB asked her. I don't know what to do. I really do like Bob, and I liked him WAY more and WAY longer than Jenny. HELP ME!

Bob-And-Jenny-Fiasco


Dear Bob-and-Jenny-Fiasco,
You may not want to hear this, but it seems Bob has made his decision.
Regardless of who liked him more or longer (which is relative, anyway) you both admitted to liking him, so you were both candidates.
Unfortunately he chose Jenny!
However, cheer up!
There are plenty of fish in the sea, and when Jenny eventually comes to you with tales of how bad a boyfriend Bob is, you can sit back and smile, you dodged that bullet. cool

Cheers me Dear,
Ruby.

Dear Video-Game-Friends-In-Fights,
Well youre starting off on the right foot by realizing you shouldn't lose a good friend over a video game!!
First you need to really think about Justin's arguments.
Do they make sense? Could he maybe be right??
If you can't under any circumstances, admit that he may be right, then just stop talking about it.
If it comes up change the subject and don't play the games together anymore.
When a discussion turns to a hateful argument, its always time to pull the plug.
Someone has to say whatever and walk away.

Cheers me dear,
Ruby.

Dear Ruby,
My friends had told me that me and one of my good friends shoud date. After awile we decided to give it a shot. After awile I began to like him alot, maybe even love. About 3months and a week in, one of my Ex Friends, Devan, Had Gone up to him telling him that he didnt love me, that it was all a lie. That her friend Jessica (shes still my friend since she had really no part in it) cried everytime he said he loved me or did something loving. He doesnt like her like that but Since then he started acting kinda funny, i didnt relize it till it was too late. And he broke up with me telling me that he didnt love me and cant see us as more than friends. He said he doesnt know how he feels right now. Its hard for me to to explain. But in the begining he was so sweet and always missed me and wanted to be with me and cared alot for me, even said he might love me. Then all This, He shattered my heart and ive been devestated ever since (about a few weeks ago). I was asked out recently and I think he's really great, but I Love my ex still and Like everything about him more than i do my current BF. I even thought my bf was my ex a couple times. I dont know what to do. Every day i want to be with my ex because i miss him so much. I know I should get over him, But i still feel like there could be a chance. What do you think? Btw, im sorry this is so long.

Signed,
Not Really Over Him
Dear Not Really Over Him,
It sounds like your ex needsto get a mind of his own.
He shouldn't be so easily swayed by what others say, especially if theyre lying.
However if you feel that there really was something between you 2, then don't give up hope.
Give him time to sort himself out.
In the meantime if you still want to date other guys make sure they releaize youre not completely serious about them and you may go back to your ex should he come around.
Or you'll wind leaving them feeling like you feel now.

Cheers me Dear,
Ruby.

Dear Ruby,

I'm trying to get two of friends together. I'll call my two friends Susan and Tom.

So Susan likes Tom, but Tom doesn't really know her. They hang out with different friends in
different areas during lunch and brunch. I was thinking about inviting them to a party or a movie,
but I really don't know any of Tom's friends and it would be pretty awkward to have an outsider
hanging out with us.

I really want to help her because she has done so much for me and deserves a healthy
relationship after all the unhealthy ones she has had.

Que debo hacer?

Sincerely,
Matchmaker in Training


Dear Matchmaker in Training,

Its wonderful you want to hook your friends up, and youre on the right track with those ideas!
Iniviting them to a movie is a great idea!
But it doesn have to be a large group of friends, the smaller the better,
so you can make excuses and conveniently leave the 2 of them alone when need be!
Theres also the sneaky route, find out if he's going to any social events, and "accidently" bump into him there.
As for Susan's part, she just needs to play it cool.
She should show an interest in his interests, but not be overeager, or fake.
And be a good listener!
An open line of communication is a must in any relationship.

Good luck matchmaking,
Ruby

Dear Ruby,
Although many people don't believe me, I am a virgin. I'm... experienced, but I am still technically a virgin. I'm 16. My boyfriend is 17. We've been dating for five months and I really and truly think he's the one. I used to want to wait 'til marriage, but I can't really see the point anymore. I mean, sex nowadays doesn't mean as much as it used to. I'm a very old-fashioned girl. I've discussed this with my boyfriend, who's not a virgin, and he doesn't mind either way. I think I'd be ready but I'm still not sure. He takes it as seriously as I am. I just don't know what the point of waiting is anymore. What do you think? Should I just wait out or give in to something good?

With love,
Dazed and Confused.

Dear Dazed and Confused,
This is not the answer you were looking for I'm sure, but this is a decision you need to make on your own.
No one person can tell you what to do cos there is no 'right' answer.
That being said, Ruby's advice is to go with your gut.
If you really feel for this person then go for it, but remember its not as simple ad it seems.
But be sure you can handle the emotions that come along with it.
I'll leave out the safety precautions, cos hopefully you know all that already.
Good luck with whatever you decide!

-Ruby

Dear Ruby,
So my boyfriend and I broke up about a month and a half ago. A few weeks ago, my family took a vacation to Florida [we live in North Carolina]. There I met my aunt's boyfriend's sons- so there's no relation between us -which is when I met a boy. We'll call him Walter. Well Walter is the cutest thing in the entire world. He gives me butterflies. We've done a lot of romantic things that I haven't done with anyone before. For example, we cuddled all through the night; he rubbed my back til I fell asleep; we watched the sun rise and set; we drank hot chocolate by the fire and other cute things. We both have a strong interest in each other..... But he lives in Florida. And he's a year younger than me. I can't be a cougar! It's creepy! But when I'm with him, it doesn't matter. My question is, do you think I'm just on a rebound? Should I go for a long distance relationship? Is the fact that he's the son of my aunt's boyfriend too weird? My friend says I'm in "the honeymoon phase" but I'm not really sure.

Help please! Give me anything!
Potential Cougar.


Dear Potential Cougar,
Rest assured, a one year difference doth not a cougar make!!
the age difference is not the issue here.
Long distance relationships rarely, if ever, work.
Its just too easy to stray, absence does not always make the heart grow fonder, sometimes it just makes you forget!
Also you need to take into account the fact that your Aunt may not always be going out with this guys dad, which may or may not make things awkward between you two.
But, as in all other matters of the heart, only you know what's really best for you!

Cheers me Dear, Ruby
