May 2008
Dear Bradley,
Yeah okay, I'm a moron. btw I'm 14. Crista. Crazy in love. Not sure its real love cuz they say you don't experience it at this age yet, but whatever it is, I can't keep not thinking about her...I liked her since 5th grade, one of her friends told her I'm a jerk (she didn't even know me) and she decided not to go out with me. Now in seventh grade, she started liking me, and I asked her out. She said yes! I was crazy. We went out for a while, and I realized she was a little...crazy :) So i was thinking about talking to her about it, and then suddenly someone hacks into her MSN email account and starts talking crap. It goes on for a while, and I think its Crista. I tried calling her to make sure it's not her, and her phone was off. Here's the "I'm a moron" part: in the end I broke up with her.
She was just confused. Life went on. Eventually I got to know that it wasn't her. I beat myself up going to sleep that night. All that time I've been looking for the moment to ask her out again. Last night I said; "tomorrow is the day." And just when I'm about to make my move, BAM!, a guy had already asked her out. One of my friends, my bass player in my band! And she said yes. She was completely hysterical shaking and all. She really likes this guy. And I know if I would have asked her out, she would have said yes. My life completely stinks.
That's it. I can't take it anymore. What am I supposed to do?!

Dear Patrick,
Ahhh, to be 14 again!! Look, I can only feel so sorry for you considering I didn't even know what a girl was until I was about 17. Then it was a couple more years until one would talk to me. So you think this girl is crazy? Because you are only 14 and may not know this quite yet, I'm going to let you in on a little secret: ALL GIRLS ARE CRAZY!!! Yes, every single last one of them. Don't be too depressed though. You were going to find this out sooner or later. What you have to do is find one with a tolerable level of craziness. In other words, there are some girls (a few diamonds in the rough, so to speak) who aren't quite as psychotic as most. These are the ones you have to hone in on.
I like this Crista girl. She seems cute and innocent. Right up my alley. With cute and innocent girls you have to take charge because they are just too oblivious to know what is going on. But just like all girls, cute and innocent girls especially like what they can't have.
Here's what I suggest: Tell Crista that you think about her and how much fun it was when you were dating. Tell her that you've been dating a new girl from another school named Jessica. Explain to her that it's too bad you are getting kind of serious with Jessica because you really miss her. This does two things. First, it shows that you are in demand and that other girls are interested in you. Second, it completely ignores the fact that Crista is now going out with the bass player. This is important because it demonstrates that you are the one in charge of the situation, and it is because of you, not Crista, that the two of you aren't dating anymore. You should carry on this charade for a couple of weeks by casually mentioning Jessica whenever you are around Crista. Then one day, out of the blue, slap a kiss on Crista. Before she can respond, or get angry, or call the police, start apologizing. But don't apologize to Crista, apologize to Jessica. Say something like "I can't believe I just kissed you. Jessica would be so mad at me. I shouldn't do that. I can't hurt Jessica like that. I hope she will forgive me." This will drive Crista crazy (yes, even more crazy than she already is). Sure, she'll be upset that you kissed
her, but she'll be even more angry that this Jessica has more power over you than she does. After all, you never got this upset when you and Crista were dating.
Crista will want to fix this immediately by proving she is every bit as desirable as Jessica. And pursue you she will. And there you'll have her; all wrapped up in a beautiful red bow! Just don't mess it up the next time. Oh, and you might need to find yourself a new bass player.
Your pal,
Bradley

Crazy plan :D Ill try it. This is going to be a loong day.
Thank you so much, Im going to recommend you to others, fast response and good advice :)
Keep it up
Patrick
That plan will work... as long as Crista doesnt sees this page... but theres one other thing this kid need to think about... GET NEW REAL FRIENDS!!! i mean mate... you've been backstabbed not once, not twice but three times over this girl!!!... jeez...
by the way... beat the crap out of your bass player ¬¬...thats bullshit... ask out the girl you're after.. ill strangle him with a bass string...¬¬
Dear Bradley,
She found out I was lying about Jessica and kicked the shit out of me. Not only that but my bass player took pictures of the whole thing. I will always hate you with the deepest part of me. -Patrick (not really)

hey i just wanted to say that you should NEVER LIE to a girl. its a pretty stupid thing to do they normally get all mad and stuff.if u do lie make sure its not a big one or that they never find out u did.
Dear Bradley,
You and your advice are pathetic and nausiating. I pity any one who would look up to you as a role-model and who would think you know the first thing about women.
Wow, no wonder I'm still single. I don't make much effort just to go after a girl like that.
The whole jealousy card, being in control etc, makes my head hurt and I feel it isn't worth the trouble to get a girl this way, since it'll be temporary.
But perhaps that's where I'm wrong. Perhaps this IS the way to first introduce yourself to a girl, and worry about other things much later.
There is no way that could work if you do not work on the details. I mean she is bound to find out, or your friends will tell her (since they do not mind grasping your girl I do not suppose they are very loyal).
Just wait until she stops dating the bass player (which should not take more than a month at the age of 14) and then you can have a go.
bradly, your response was pretty clever but morally wrong.. i mean be serious lie and say your going out with "jessica"? crista isn't a peice of meat to just mess around with. and patrick how can you go along with the plan? if you really care about her you'd know better than to toy with her emotions. the best advice i would give you is to tell her the reason you broke up with her and i bet she'll come around.
sincerely,
kenyah (girl)
ok, obviously you know nothing of girls. if you want to know what a girl thinks, go and ask her!!! DEATH TO MEN!!! that's what i think.
@ Kenyah:
Girls don't ever "come around" ... you learn this by being male. This is why we have to come up with clever/sophisticated means of getting what we want/need out of a woman. I think Bradley's advice is golden.
golden? more like expired hair shampoo, if you ask me.
