Advising Love Problems is my problem:)

August 15, 2012 8:07am CST
Well i was kinda thinking right now what's the best thing could I advice to my dear friend who has been asking me what to do next ,now that she is kinda confused between breaking up or still holding on to his beau. The thing is you could give a direct answer like "Go Ahead, do What You think is RIGHT" But I guess as the Best friend, you have a real job in giving her advises that will really comfort her. Well in my case that's hard,cause the problem is,I've never been in a relationship, so Im not really good on relating to it. The best thing i could say is, "there are lot of men out there":D. Too boring right?:D

Sometimes, it is hard to advise even if you have been into a relationship or not. Well, you just have to support your friend about her decision.It is really up to her if she want to break up or not. It is not boring to say that there are lots of guys because I use to say that also, just to make her see that her bf is not the only guy in the world.Do not give advise, if you do not know what to say. Just stay by her side and listen to her.

Yeah, that is right, all you can do right now is support her and it is true also that there are lots of guys out there who is better than who she has right now. .

So right, I think those words are comforting enough for her. But there was a time when I had another friend with that kind of problem, I did my best to give her the most comforting advise But then sometimes no matter how you try to console someone, they would end up saying to you that you don't know how it feels cause you have never been in it, and an add up will always come like "If you'll be in a relationship let's just see how you will feel about it when you arrive into the situation I do have right now. Well i ended up saying "Uhmm okay i don't know how you feel,i'll just shut my mouth then and hug you":D

Cliche but not boring! It always works anyway or not for some. It's really difficult to give an advice when you're not an expert on that things. But I guess the best thing to do is just be a friend and tell her she can do whatever she feels is right and just be there when she needs a shoulder to cry on.

when you advise seriously, don't you feel funny? I always end up saying to myself that it's funny giving serious advises when I'm not even an expert. But it really helps:D..

Tell her this, "Well as you can see I have never been in a relationship ever since so I can't give you a good advice on what to do but there is one thing I want you to know, no matter what will be your decision as a friend I am always here for you ready to listen and do everything I can to make you happy. By just looking at you I know that you are not happy so there is not point of holding on if you are not happy anymore, if you are afraid to let go because you might feel alone well I am always be with so you won't feel that way. ." hehe just tell her that, make her feel that whenever things go down your friend can always count on you and boomm!!!! I am sure she will going to feel okay. .
