m girl advice

Dear M Girl,

My friend Hannah and I have been best friends since the 1st grade. We always planned on going to the same middle school, high school and even college together! But next month she'll be moving to another state because her family bought a house there. We were so upset and sad for days! I don't know what I'm going to do?! I know I can't stop them from moving, but I'm worried that our strong friendship will be OVER. Please help me...

Hi Carly,

It's totally hard when you're separated from someone you love, like a best friend! Since they're going to be moving soon, my advice to you is to spend the most time with Hannah now (and enjoy every minute of it)! Thinking about her leaving will ruin the fun times you can have right NOW! Your friendship will change when she leaves but you could find other ways of communicating with each other so you never lose contact. If your friendship remains strong, maybe you can both become roommates when you're older and still go to college together. How awesome would that be?! Just remember to keep in touch - that could be with a letter, phone call or even a text! Make sure she knows that even though she'll be far, she'll still have a best friend in you.

XOXO

Dear M Girl,

So my BFF Alice and I have been friends since the 3rd grade. About a month ago, this new girl came to our school. Her name is Taylor and I kind of noticed that I'm starting to hang out with her more than my own BFF. I don't know if it will tear us apart. What should I do about this problem?

Hey Lady,

It's OK to start new friendships, but make sure you don't leave anyone else out. If you've been friends with your BFF Alice for so long, then I think you should introduce her to Taylor and try to all hang out together! Think about how YOU would feel if the situation was the other way around. Wouldn't you want Alice to introduce you to her new friends? After doing things together, the three of you may become inseparable -- how awesome would that be? Plan a girls' shopping trip and/or movie day -- they're both great ways to bond! Let me know how it goes. Good luck!

XOXO

Dear M Girl,

I have known this one guy since I was literally 5 years old and I have liked him for a while now. Even though he is like my best friend (we tell each other EVERYTHING), I haven't told him about my feelings. I'm too scared! I don't know why this time it's so hard to talk to him. I'm not only afraid that he doesn't like me back but I don't want to lose him as a friend. I don't know what to do. Please help!

-Morgan, 14

Hey Morgan,

Being honest is always the best way to go! I know that you might be scared, but it will definitely make you feel better to know how he's feeling. He could be confused too! Don't worry if a new romance doesn't spark up, his friendship should come first. If you're really as close as you think, telling him won't wreck your friendship! Tell me how it goes!

XOXO

Dear M Girl,

There's this guy I like, but there are rumors he kissed another girl, and every time I see him with her I feel so insecure! Whenever I try to tell him I like him the words get stuck. What should I do? I'm just so scared of rejection.

-ilov1D

Hey Girl!

Let me start by telling you that I've SO been there! Being insecure around your crush is 100% natural. First of all, the rumors that he kissed another girl may just be rumors! And, even if they're not, who cares? He may not want to be smooching another girl once he knows how YOU feel.

Now comes the tricky part -- telling him. Being scared of rejection is one of the biggest fears a girl can go through -- and it never really gets easier. It is SO hard to put yourself out there, but really rewarding no matter what. If he likes you back, you made it happen, if not, you can start to move on. Dip your toes in the water a bit. Drop hints here and there that you're into him, like getting flirty when you chat or asking him to hang. Try to read him and see how he reacts. You can also try and get the scoop from his buds about whether or not you're on his radar. Once you have a better feel for the sitch, pull him aside and just blurt it out -- rip off that band-aid. Though rejection can sting, you'll regret it more if you don't give it a shot.

Good luck, lady! Comment back and tell me how it goes -- I'm thinking of you!

XOXO,

M Girl

What do you think ladies? What should our reader do? Have you ever dealt with a similar sitch?

Dear M Girl,

I like this boy who's in the 10th grade and I asked him out and he totally dissed me in front of all of my friends! Every single day since then, I look away when I see him in the halls and when I say hi he always turns the other way and doesn't say anything! How do I apologize to him without making a scene?

- Isabel, 13

Hey, Isabel!

It sounds to me like you don't owe this boy an apology at all! If anything, it's the other way around -- he's the one who wasn't very nice after you took a risk and asked him out! It's clear that he's not being very mature about the situation, but that's his problem, not yours! Instead of worrying about apologizing to him, try to find a new crush -- one who appreciates the fact that you'll make the first move. This may be hard to do, but don't let one bad situation affect the way you act around your next crush. It's super-awesome that you were brave enough to ask him out in the first place, and you deserve someone who will treat you right! :)

M Reader tater28 asked:
My bestie and I are going to different high schools in August and she's already telling me we shouldn't be sad if we stop talking. I don't want to lose her! What do I do?

And M Girl's answer is:
"The only way you and your BFF will drift apart is if you let yourselves! Yes, you'll be making new friends at your brand new schools, but that doesn't mean you can't make time for each other when you're not in classes. You guys can set aside a certain time that you hang out. If you keep at it, you'll always stay friends. Friendship takes a lot of work -- but if you make it a point to maintain it, your friendship will never fade!"

M Reader TeamJacobEdward asked:
I've been singing since I can remember but I don't know how to start a career in it. Any advice?

And M Girl's answer is:
"This is the perfect opportunity for you to join the drama club to get some experience performing in musicals. You never know who could spot you out of the crowd - and this way, your voice will be heard among tons of people! The internet is also a great way to get your singing skills heard among others. With permission from your parents, post up some videos of yourself performing on YouTube! That's how lots of stars got started - like Justin Bieber! So just work on putting yourself out there and doing everything you can to show people that you've got what it takes to be a star! Sing every opportunity you get and if you work hard enough, luck might just be around the corner! Go for it and good luck!"

M Reader 7katielynn7 asked:
I like this guy at school who I barely know (don't ask my why I like him -- I just do!). And he apparently got back together with his girlfriend the other day (for the 3rd time!). My friend keeps saying that I should tell him I like him next time he breaks up with his GF -- but I barely know him and I think it'd be embarrassing! Help!

And M Girl's answer is:
"Okay, you might have some time to think about this since he's back dating his ex. Definitely don't tell him you like him while he's going out with his girlfriend, because that could get super-ugly and way complicated. If they happen to break up in the future, you could totally start giving him signals that you've got a thing for him. Send him a smile here and there, go and introduce yourself to him. You definitely want him to get to know you first. Then when you feel like you're ready to let him know, tell him how you feel! What's the worst that can happen? It's not like he's a BFF you've had forever! So give it a shot. If it doesn't work out, eh, no worries! There are PLENTY of guys out there who'd be thrilled to know you're crushing on them!"
