D. Walls Say What?!?!
It's Just My Honest Opinion
It's Just My Honest Opinion
Dear D. Walls,
I am 18 and a student. I recently slept with a guy at work and he has not paid attention to me since. I have totally fallen for him.
We have known each other since high school and he was always a little shy. Every since we got intimate he hasn’t even spoken to me let alone looked at me. Why won’t he speak to me, let alone date me?

Dear Confused,
How can I put this delicately… Mr. Shy only wanted one thing from you, and once you gave him what he wanted he was no longer interested in doing anything else with you.
My mother has always said, “what ever you do in the beginning of a relationship will be expected of you until the end of a relationship.” If it’s a long term relationship that you are after I would highly suggest that you don’t sleep with the guy on the first date. Once you open that door there is no closing it back.
Sorry,
D. Walls
Dear D. Walls,
I’ve known this guy for about 6 months and he’s my best friend. We have a lot of things in common and we just seem to click. There is one problem though, my friend who introduced us has liked him for 4 years.
He pretty much ignores her and spends time with me. I don’t know what to tell her. We are attracted to each other and we keep sneaking around so she won’t see us in town. I told her that I like him and she was upset. Is there an easy way to tell her we are becoming a couple?
~Friend b4 Him?
Well Friend b4 Him,
You pretty much told her when you told her that you liked him. I really hope your guy friend isn’t leading her on and playing with her heart at the same time.
But, if you both start spending time together as an established couple your friend will start to see what is happening. STOP sneaking around. If she ask tell her that you both have decided to take the next step and see where this relationship is going. She may need to withdraw from your friendship for a while but give her the room and she’ll come around.
Good Luck!

Dear D. Walls,
How do I tell my parents that I flunked out of school? I haven’t had the courage to tell them yet, I tried over Christmas break but never got the nerve so when January rolled around and it was time to go back to school I left. Since my rent is paid until May, I figured I can just stay here until then and tell my parents over the summer. But my parents are still sending me money every two weeks and lately I have felt like there is this huge boulder in the pit of my stomach.

Dear College Woes,
Take it from someone that knows all about disappointing parents, the only way to get rid of an unpleasant task is to take a deep breath and do it. Since classes ended last December, you have had this hanging over you for the last two months – that’s a really long time to be carrying around this guilt. If I were in your shoes I would sit down with them privately and tell them what happened. I don’t imagine they’ll be happy, but it’s better to face them now with your own words than to have them hear about it from someone else.
Do the right thing.

Dear D. Walls,
I have been dating this guy over the net that I met on myspace. We are close and even told each other that we loved each other and we both really mean it. I am almost 16 and he is 18.
Now he won’t email me back or even try to find me on the net. I know he has a steady job but shouldn’t he make time for his “girlfriend”? Please tell me what to do.

Dear Lost in Love,
I wish I could tell you what is going on, but… I don’t know. From my personal experience and experiences from my friends I do know that internet romances are fickle and fall apart easily.
Sorry…
