Meet the Wise Guy. He’s got advice to give and questions to answer, so send in any and all problems concerning the opposite sex. What makes him so qualified? He’s been a boy his whole life, so he knows exactly what’s going through your crush, boyfriend, or best-guy-friend’s dumbhead. Ask him!
"Ugh, Happy Valentine's to me. I told my best friend that I wanted to take this guy Joel to our V-Day dance this weekend, and when she found out, she asked him first! He knew I liked him, but said yes anyway! So now I'm stuck without a date and hating my ex-BFF. Cheer me up."
Umm, well I'd like to say that Cupid just missed you by accident, but the hard truth is that Joel likes your BFF. Definitely sucks, but whatcha gunna do? You could mope it up, carrying around the candy hearts you bought for Joel (really sad image, btw), or you could lose the frown face and bring another cute guy to the dance. I'd go for option B. You'll achieve two things: one, having fun and not pouting about Joel is key, and two, showing off how "over it" you are can only make your ex-friend a little jealous. It's a bonus, OK?
Oh, and just so you know, that was really bad BFF behavior. That old saying "Who needs enemies, when you have friends," comes to mind when I think about your pal. She gets the beeyatch award for sure. Even if she was all-of-the-sudden in soul mate love with Joel, she could've at least given you the heads up. I suggest finding someone new to hang out with because this is not the last time you'll get stabbed in the back by this girl.
