I wish my mom had given me advice! She was a great listener, but what I really needed as guidance. I made really bad decisions as a teen. |

Is no advice better than bad advice? My mother's "guidance" was either useless, incorrect or awful. "Conditioner is terrible for your hair and will make you go bald." "Say hello to everyone you know, every time you see them, to make them feel good." That's what you were missing out on over at my house. It took until I was 11 and a friend yelled at me for constantly interrupting our conversation as we walked down the school hallway to say hi to EVERY SINGLE person I saw that I knew for me to learn NOT to do what my mother had taught me. I was in HS before I was finally allowed to use conditioner. No other hair products aside from shampoo and conditioner, and I have curly frizzy hair that my mother INSISTED I had to brush thoroughly every single day with a brush. I could go on and on. |
There you have it. He always wanted to be more than a friend, and now that he has realized its not happening, he is moving on. It sucks but it almost always plays out like this. Should never overly invest in opposite sex friends where there is one sided romantic interest. Her best bet is probably to encourage Larla and Jeff in their couplehood, otherwise most likely Larla will view her as a threat to her new boyfriend and she will lose both of them. She may anyway. |
