You and your great taste in sci-fi are first pick.

Pssst, you can actually watch these for free on viki.com. I just watched Angry Mom on there, another GREAT one about an ex-delinquent mom going undercover as a high school student.

Coffee Prince is the only drama I’ve seen where my Second Lead Syndrome actually cured itself. Actually, I didn’t like Han-gyul OR Han-sung. I wanted Eun-chan to realize they were both idiots, yell her mom into getting a job, and run away to university with Jae-wook, where she could grow her hair out and they could…

Yes, exactly. I honestly think that’s why Sex and the City was so popular, specifically because it depicted the kind of grown-up friendship that’s so hard for an adult woman to come by. I know it exists, I’ve seen it in real life. But I don’t know how to replicate it for myself.

Hear, hear. I keep trying to ask people on platonic dates, but that just seems to freak them out. Like, seriously? You’ll give a guy your phone number after talking to him in a smoky bar for ten minutes, but I ask if you want to hang out in the daylight some time after a thirty-minute conversation on Game of Thrones…

Jezebels, I’m having one of those nights where I’m feeling intensely lonely, and not even the usual Netflix and sushi is helping.

I can’t cook either, so when I’m pressured to, I always fall back on one of two dishes: spam and egg sandwiches or BLTs. Minimal cooking, maximum taste.

Those other people are full of shit. Waiting until you, personally and individually, are ready is exactly what you should be doing. It’s nobody else’s business, and frankly it’s majorly creepy for anyone else to care about it AT ALL, much less too much in any direction. Don’t let peer pressure or the general nastiness…

Move away and cut off all contact.

Thanks. I keep trying to remind myself of that, but in the moment I’m just sad. I’ll get over it, though, if for no other reason than I’ve got too many other things to worry about to dwell on something comparatively minor.

Jezebels, I just got dumped by a friend. It was unexpected and very impersonal: I was left to infer our break-up from the sudden unfriending, ungrouping, and general un-ing taking place on my social networks. Now I’m here telling you about it because I don’t want to put my feelings on my other close friend, for whom…

His parents are being unreasonable. He’s employed, not doing anything illegal, and happy. I don’t see how it’s anyone else’s business.

I just read Shogun, which I found super racist in a fun sort of way. Now I'm trying to read 1Q84 and finding it astoundingly hard to like any of the characters.

I've found that it's a combination of numbers, exposure, and pure luck. Making friends as an adult is just like dating, you have to start putting yourself out there and hope that something sparks. That's why people always suggest hobbies: it's a good excuse for forcing proximity to people you wouldn't otherwise meet,…

Well, I'm neither in high end retail nor trained to help the emotionally distressed, but I can tell you this: it sounds like you have good reason to fire her and she's completely brought it upon herself. I say this as someone who was once in her position (although I never stank of pee or threatened to kill myself,…

The more I learn about this situation, the more I think you need to get clear of it. Assuming there isn't some major thing that you're currently unaware of, it seems pretty clear that your friend is looking for reasons to be a victim. In fact, I think you already know this but don't want to admit it - because you are…

Well, I'm an Asian-American (for what that's worth) and I'm getting two things from your post, which are: (1) if this is how she presents the situation to her friends, I don't know WHAT she's going to tell a detached authority figure to convince them that there is racism happening here; and (2) whether or not the…

Exorcise this man from your life. He rejected you. Waiting is going to bring you nothing but more grief. "Barely" needs to become "never."

1) Try to relax. If you're a reader, pick up a good book. If you're outdoorsy, plan a scenic hike or run. If you just need some exposure to people, check out a cafe or restaurant, put a tablet or something in front of you, and just people-listen. Maybe you could take a class or try an activity that promotes neutral…

How did you do it? I've wanted to move abroad for years, but it just seems so...daunting.
