Ten years on, I still don’t quite understand this letter from December 1, 1997…

Dear Breakup Girl,
I really like this guy. I haven’t met him yet, but we really like each other. The only problem is that my dad just took my phone privileges away. I’m so afraid that while I’m “gone” he’ll find some other girl. I don’t want to lose him. Help!
— Amanda

Dear Amanda,
Meet him, then write to me.
Love,
Breakup Girl
