Dear AskDesi,
My Best friend likes this guy, but shes too shy to confront him about how she feels, so she asked me to help her out. It turns out the guy is not only not insterested in her but he didn’t even know she existed! Now my best friend is mad at me and thinks its my fault he doesn’t like her, and that makes me mad! All I did was try to help, and this is what i get in return…what should I do?
Dear COnfused101, I have to say you put yourself in a tough spot. It’s nice of you to want to help you friend, I’m sure shes grateful, no matter how it turned out. My advice to you would to just let it go. Your friend is hurt by the rejection, and took it out on you because you told her the truth. Just walk it out, and don’t think too much about it. Your friend will come around and realize “whatever, its not a big deal” and you can reassure her, shes deserves better!
Dear AskDesi,
I don’t usually do this kind of thing, but I just thought i’d try it out. My question is concerning my daughter who’s in the 9th grade, and like most 9th Graders, she thinks shes better than everyone else, and knows everything there is to be known. We constantly argue about her not taking care of herself in terms of not showering regularly; she hates taking showers, she hates brushing her hair, she doesn’t use lotion, her skin is always looking dry, and pasty, she wont even use deodorant, and sooner or later if not already her friends are going to say she smells, and as a mother I’m trying to prevent that from happening because I know it would just kill her if anyone said that. I can’t physically forcer her to do anything, and I’m ovbiously not getting through to her the way things are going now…Any suggestions?
