SingleScenes
by Sarah Smart
Q. My best friend stopped speaking to me and has ended our relationship because I asked her boyfriend to escort me to my car when we were all leaving a party. She says I was inappropriate and I disrespected her because I should have asked her to accompany me as well. I apologized, but she won’t accept it. She accused me of hitting on her guy on the sly. Should I give up on the friendship? What would you do?
A. If someone wouldn’t accept my apology, I would put the incident behind me, and never ask someone’s boyfriend to escort me without asking the woman for permission.
Q. I was out the other night at a restaurant with a new date and ran into a couple of my girlfriends, one of whom is beautiful. My date was so impressed with her that he asked for her card to introduce her to a friend. However, he winked at her during the exchange and he seemed to spend a great deal of the evening staring at her across the room. I don’t want to come across like I’m paranoid, so I’m afraid to say anything to him. However, my sister thinks I should confront him. My suspicions tell me he got the card for his own personal use, and I have never trusted her. I haven’t heard from her since and he is suddenly unavailable. What do you think I should do?
A. Nothing. Let it play out, while you concentrate on something else. If your suspicions are true, there’s nothing you can do about it except move on.
