LIFE

Dear Carol,
I have had this boyfriend for four days. He asked me out in summer school and I said yes, so when I got home, I called and texted him but no answer. He answers on Facebook, but that's it. It's always the same excuse: "I was busy." I wrote him a letter about how being his girlfriend feels and I put in some harsh words and told him to call but he didn't. Today, we didn't talk at all.
—Boyfriend Issues

Dear Boyfriend Issues,
Whoa. You wrote him a harsh letter? I'm afraid that you can come off as awfully strong instead of letting your romance blossom at a natural pace. Try to think about things from his perspective for a second. He asked you out and ever since he's been feeling a lot of pressure to chat with you or guilty about disapointing you. Next time you like a boy, give yourself a chance to have fun and get to know each other before giving him a piece of your mind.
