Hey guys I just started a new group called Dear Abby. I know a lot of blogs out there focus on giving advice and receiving advice. If you love reading blogs, giving your opinion, or want someone else's opinion, this is the place for you!!
May I please be the first to give advice! Yes? Rad.
Ahem:
1. do not leave dirty dishes in the sink.
2. do not lie and expect it not to come back on you.
3. do not wear pink with orange.
4. do not drink vodka that comes in a plastic bottle with a label that features an ear of corn on it.
5. do try your best to pay bills on time.
That is all for now.
Ok, I'll bite. I have a friend who has a habit of becoming friends with benefits with her male friends (she's done it twice, wasting several years on each guy and is now 35), whereupon she falls for them but not they for her. She then justifies their non-relationship by constantly talking about said FWB as if he is in fact her boyfriend, in which he has made clear that he is not interested. She feels bad about her looks and is afraid to even try dating around, instead having sex with the friend, who is most likely doing the same with other people, desperately trying to convince herself that she is happy. I've explained the reality of the situation to her many times, encouraged and pressured her to do something, improve her self-esteem and confidence, quit drinking and whining and expecting things to change but nothing gets through. She hears her clock ticking and she wants the whole married/baby thing, but she's not getting there. I can barely take hanging out with her--it's always the same story.
