Dear Queenie,
I’m all mixed up. My boyfriend told me he loves me, but his best friend’s sister told me he really thinks I’m ugly and he wishes I would leave him alone.
Queenie, who should I believe?—Confused
Dear Confused,
How well do you know the sister? Is she a friend of yours? Is it possible she also likes your boyfriend and is trying to break the two of you up?
Tell your boyfriend what she said and see what his reaction is. Then cool it for a while. Don’t break up with him, but don’t call him or e-mail him. Wait for him to call or e-mail you. If he likes you, he probably will, and if he doesn’t call or e-mail you, it probably means he doesn’t care that much about you.
And if he does call you or e-mail you, be careful how you respond and what you say to him until you are sure of how he feels about you.
