Fall in love with a man, you say? First of all…why?

Run That’s all the advice you should need But I guess if you’re really on the hunt, I’d say continue your manifestations

First, envision yourself walking on the beach Along the shore, you see him walking towards you from afar He looks majestic, and so do you . All of a sudden, he sees you The moment he makes eye contact, he starts running to you, calling your name Finally, he reaches you, falling into your arms Picture this 37 times in repetition every night before you go to sleep

If that doesn’t feel like enough, an ancient legend says boiling a single strand of his hair in pasta water leads to true love Make sure it’s plucked right from his head, keeping the little bit of scalp intact at the end!! That’s an INCREDIBLY important step

Ultimately, I would advise you to continue to not talk to him You’re doing a fantastic job playing hard to get . Good luck with your manifestation regimen! In my opinion, you’ve got this in the bag

By day, Adam Kellog appreciates the simple things in life, such as booty shorts, long furbies, and political activism . But by night, Every-Day-Adam transforms into a flaming superstar, a freakazoid femme, and a full-on diva . Her name is Vantas . read more @ kyoumagazine.com 6

I advise you to start off with a few simple mathematical equations Now, I’m no math major myself, so even the most Liberal of Artists should be able to grasp this one

Let’s start with a couple calculations 5/12 < 6/12 They have been together for less than half a year That is a fat 27 – 21=6 They are 6 years apart . That is a fact Consider, for a moment, that they were born on February 29th, a leap year . This would render him 6 75 years old and her 5 25 . That is a fact Do you really think a 5 and 1/4th year old and a 6 and 3/4th year old should be living together alone? Remind your friend that 5 25 – 6 .75-year-olds are 19% more likely to start a fire in their own home than the average adult . These stakes are raised to 68% when one or more of these children is living alone The danger is multiplied 7-fold when one of these individuals is a man, and 18-fold when that man is also normal and boring

If these facts aren’t enough to scare her, she might need to retake algebra, and she should definitely not be trusted to babysit

Best of luck to you both .

Boy oh boy, have I been in this boat before When they were assigning writers to answer the advice column, my hand shot up faster than you can say virgin. I’m convinced that nothing hurts quite like unresolved pining

My advice to you is to shove your feelings deep, deep down into the recesses of your mind and dissociate from your body for the duration of college. It’s worked out great for me so far. Instead of processing my emotions on my own terms on a reasonably healthy timeline, I simply let my feelings consume my every waking hour for an average of two years per crush

Eventually, my body can no longer physically endure the emotional turmoil, and I’m forced to admit that there’s no hope for me every finding happiness in this lifetime Slowly, I will grieve the loss and accept the former-crush as a newfound friend. For bonus points, make sure to jokingly confess your past feelings (that are TOTALLY over now) to your new “friend” and offer to move in with them as a totally chill, kicked-back roommate.

This will either cause you to realize that you never actually liked them as a person, or it will cause continued excruciating agony (but what else is new). Hope this helps, and may your romantic journey be peaceful!
