May 2007
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
