Dear Breakup Girl,
There's a girl whom I really like that I met this year at college. She has a
bf who is in the Navy who is thousands of miles away. I know she really cares
for him, and loves him. I don't want to come between something like that. I
don't want to be the jerk who breaks up a good thing. But I can't help but feel
the way I feel. When I'm around her, I feel so alive. At the same time though,
she is a really good friend. I feel like I can open up to her about anything,
but what I don't feel is the same from her. How do I go about showing her I can
be one of the greatest friends of her life without flirting with her, or making
her feel I want a closer relationship out of it. I mean, I do, but right now
all I really care about is strengthening our friendship.
Then maybe if things were meant to be, something will come out of if. If
not, then I'm happy just being friends. My biggest concern is that once the
semester is over and I don't have any more classes with her, which I'm sure I
won't, it will be difficult finding reasons to call her or go to her place.
Thanks.

Dear Hartford,
Okay. Don't overdo it, but go ahead and do all the
things that I always yell at the accursed
Friend-Boys for doing. Do nice stuff for her. Do fun
stuff with her; do not touch. Build her a loft, for all I care. And/But if you
find yourself without a good reason to call, then don't. Instead, find a reason
to call someone else. And ask her out.
:Love,
Breakup Girl
