And, we’re back. Boy, there are a lot of problems in this world, some we can’t fix, like world peace or global warming, but when it comes to matters of the heart, we’re aces. At least, we try.
I’ve been having strange dreams lately about my friend. She’s really kind and funny and smart, but I’ve never really been attracted to her, nor do I think she’s attracted to me. But in my dreams, we’re not only REALLY into each other, we’re also a fabulous couple. Now, it’s hard for me to meet her without thinking about what she was doing in my dreams the night before. Do these dreams mean anything? Am I in love with my friend?
It was either Freud or Jung who said that people in your dreams are just extensions of yourself. Which means, in layman’s terms, if you’re dreaming about being close, physically, to your friend, you’re probably missing the connection you have to the side of you that is kind and funny and smart. Try and reconnect with yourself. What makes you feel good? Volunteering at an animal shelter? Spending time with your grandparents? On the other hand, it could mean that your subconscious has figured out before you have that your friend, besides being a wonderful person, is also YOUR wonderful person. Ask her out, in a non-friend way, and see what happens.
My best friend is being really weird. Okay, here’s what happened. We were at a party and he offered to drop me home, and as I was leaving the car, he leaned over to kiss my cheek and got my mouth instead. It was a completely innocent peck, and I would have laughed it off, but he got really embarrassed and hasn’t spoken to me since. How do I save my friendship?
Oh dearie. This is a classic case of his mouth being where his money (okay, okay, thoughts) were. You haven’t said much about yourself, but I imagine you as a cool young woman, with lots of friends and who cares enough about people to want to save your friend the embarrassment. Which is why, it’s probably no wonder that he was caught off guard by the mouth slip. A lot of boys, sometimes, think about their female friends in not entirely friendly ways, if you catch my drift. To get things back to “normal”, plan a completely platonic evening, bowling or eating kebabs, nothing romantic, so he gets that you intend to stay friends. On the other hand, what’s wrong with exploring a little friendship-turns-love, eh?
