Dear Mandie,
I need advice. The guy I am dating is kind of a jerk. He is really awkward and doesn't even know what love is. What should I do!!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I hate GUYS. Too much drama!
From,
Drama Queen


Dear Drama queen,

If I were you I would directly tell him that its bothering you. To me it sounds like you guys are still in that awkward stage of dating. I know some guys can be really awkward and immature. If you really like him stay with him. If you don’t like him then break the relationship off. Stay friends. Just whatever you choose, please do it in person-- just trust me, don’t have a friend do it for you !!! If you break up in person, see his reaction. Don’t ever ever ever break up with a guy over a text. I did that last year; wasn’t very pretty!  I hope my advice helps you and you will want to come back to me or Kris for more when you need it. -Mandie 

Someone asked me what if I don't like one of my teachers? What I would do is try to give her a chance. She may be getting used to the school. If things are still bad talk to another teacher and explain to her your problem.

Dear Colwyn and Amanda,

Hey, I am a student at Spectrum Academy and I was wondering... How do you survive not dating in high school? Thanks.

Dear Amanda,
I need your help with a crush I have on this one girl. I feel like I'm too old for her but she is only one grade below me. Is she someone I can ask out without it being weird?


--Well, if you are 18 and she is younger than you then that is a problem. If you are both under the age of 18 then it might be ok. Also, you have to remember that the girl's parents are  going to be worried if their daughter is dating some guy that they don't know you. I believe that all relationships will end in pain. It will end up in a big mess. Take it from someone with experience in this particular subject. But if you disagree then go ahead and ask her out. Good Luck.

Jared says that you could look up the age of consent so that you know which age is appropriate for dating. Think about the time and place when you are asking someone out: you have to know when to do it and where to do it. A school's dance might be a good time to ask her out. Otherwise, don't do anything ridiculous or stupid or embarassing. If she doesn't say yes, then don't flip out on her, just be kind so that you will be able to have a higher chance with other girls in the future.

Dear Amanda,

There's this guy I like but he hates me and my friend is going to the dance with him.
Advice, please. I don't know what to do/say.

--I would continue to like him and explain to your friend that you like him and then wait until after the dance to tell him that you like him.

Dear Amanda,

Hey, I need help. I just recently heard that I'm going to the dance with a boy that I hate and he hates me but I don`t want to upset my best friend by saying I don`t want to go with him. What should I do???

--  Hey so what I would do is just go to the dance with the guy and make your friend happy. Remember it is only one night. Then tell your friend that you don't like that guy and that he doesn't like you    -- Amanda
