Oh being single is the best thing in the world, no tie downs,less drama, and the toilet seat is never up! How great is it to be single...NOT!!! Well actually I guess it's not terrible, but I'm finding myself to be very jealous of my friends ladies.

THE SITUATION: I meet a new girl on campus which has now become a great girlfriend of mine. We are cool buds and even considering starting a dance group together. I love hanging out with her, but she also loves hanging out with her boyfriend ALOT! This is not the problem, if I had a man thats probably all I would want to do, but I guess I start feeling weired when all three of us are together and they're all hugging and kissing on eachother while I'm in the backseat staring with envy. I feel really selfish for asking this, but is there a kind way to ask her to ease up with her man. I mean when we go out to the club or shopping he's not there, but shes constantly calling him so it's like he is even when he isn't. What should I do? Am I just going crazey because I feel lonely?

No, most older adults do not behave this way in front of their friends. It's purely her age. I think it would be fine to have a respectful chat with her about it. She'll probably just have a giggle, apologize and then assure you that you won't have to worry about it happening again in the future ; )

Good luck!
