You'd ditch your best friend of years for a girl you've only known for 3 months? 90 days? Really?

Sounds pretty normal, to me. I'd put a best friend I've had for years before a relatively short-term relationship, any day. That's just how it works, in probably most cases.

Why do you need to be under the assumption that because HE has feelings for her that HER feelings are mutual?

I think the idea that "The Ex" is also "The Best Friend" is downplayed - Of course she values her BEST FRIEND more than she does the boyfriend of 3 months. . .He may be her Ex and HE MAY have feelings for her [romantically] but that doesn't mean that those feelings are returned - You have 2 choices in that situation;

Wait, but you can't be the Herald of Andraste, I'M the Hera—

This is really, really, REALLY solid advice. Well-handled, Harris.

I'm best friends with my ex, I have friends who have expressed interest in me. Sometimes you like people but the thought of banging them grosses you out, is a situation that sucks, but it exists.

Not explicitly true. I have a friend that I've always had a bit of a crush on ever since middle school. She's said she's not interested in that but we still hang all the time. Doesn't bother me, doesn't bother her.

Not really. It sounds like UAN does communicate with his GF, but is looking for ways to do so better. If he's making this effort, and there is something to be salvaged, I think he's on the right track.

I can hear it now:

"IT WOOOOORRRRRRRKKKSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!"

Go to a park and see someone perform. Usually free. Food usually cheap.

I agree with wakawakawakawaka on the timing of this being perfect. I too was starting to think I was just a one - three date wonder. Then I just realized that these girls were not as interested as I was, or that they were actually busy or a variety of reasons that don't always point back to me being a failure.

All excellent and perfect advice. I will add "Don't underestimate manners/social etiquette." It could be there's one tiny thing you do that just doesn't work. Like the time I went on a date with a guy and everything went alright until he gripped his spoon like a 5 year old. My thing? When I get into a topic of

"Charming Tater"

This is actually important because it ties into something I've mentioned before, something that a lot of dating coaches and self-help columns won't tell you: at its core, dating is a numbers game. No matter whether you're Emma Stone, Idris Elba, Kerry Washington, or Charming Tater, you are inevitably going to have

I may have a question, while im from the states, i dont live in the states, rather south america, next week im about to date a girl that is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of my league (and basically if i pull it off right, its 100% sure something positive will happen), issue is im jobless right now, and on a very tight

*raises hand* Oooh! Oooh, pick me!
