Dear Breakup Girl,

I have a crush on my yoga teacher -- how can I get his attention? I don't ask guys out as a rule, so that's out. I've been smiling at him and saying hello. Oddly, this technique has always worked. He has given me a funny face twice. What could that possibly mean? Thanks Breakup Girl, you give me strength!

Dear Jeni,

Is it Breakup Girl that gives you strength, or the fact that you've been going to Yoga nine times a week? Anyway, as weird as this is going to sound, the way to get his attention just might be to start taking someone else's class that meets at the same time. I am not recommending that you play some sort of hard-to-get game. It's just that your teacher's "funny" expression is probably an ancient Sanskrit facial posture meaning "I'd love to take you out for some soy milk, but I don't date my students."

Love,
Breakup Girl
