Cheated on
Dear Cheated on,
I’m sorry he put you in this position. Honestly, everybody makes mistakes, and if you’re considering giving him a second chance that’s up to you. However, the fact that he lied about it says a lot about his character. If he had told you it happened or at the very least not lied about it, it would be a different story. You deserve to be with someone who won’t cheat on you, or if he does, will be a man and own up to it.
Good luck! – Emma
Dear Emma,
There’s a boy I’ve been friends with for about a year now that has been flirty with me lately. We kissed once and flirt all the time, so it’s very obvious to the rest of our friends. He thinks I play games with him and I’m teasing him, but in reality I really don’t know what I want. My friend had a talk with him, and he told her he’s going to have a talk with me and ask me a yes or no question. I don’t know which to say.
Friends?
Dear Friends,
It would be easy for me to say that if it was meant to be you would know, but that’s not always true. Some of the best relationships come from friendships, and your hesitation could be for a number of different reasons. You could be worried about losing your friendship, causing an awkward dynamic in your friend group, changing your mind or even him changing his. If it’s any of those reasons, I think you should say yes. Taking a risk could lead to something beautiful. If your hesitation is coming from a gut feeling telling you that you know it’s just flirtation and nothing serious, you should probably say no and stop flirting with him. Continuing to lead him on could potentially ruin your friendship.
Good luck! – Emma
