In response to 'June gloom'..unfortunately in the UK the weather is like that most of the year round! you'll wake up one morning thinking 'hey the suns out...it's going to be a good day' only to find that when you've put on shorts or something it's started to rain and will continue until the evening. Hence the reason as to why most people in Britain are constantly depressed
Thinking back seven years ago, I am no longer friends with ANY of them. Sad...
Or maybe I was already at year 7 with 1/2 those people, and now ... nope.... I got nothin'
You don't have to live in CA to have the June Gloom. MAN, did I have it on Wed.
I can't have a link to my own website in my signature? Come on, ABC!
So my question for you and your guest is this: What is your most successful chat up line or method for approaching a member of the opposite sex?
Dear Brigitte,
A friend of 6 years and I started dating about 10 months ago, and 2 months ago we broke up for various reasons, the most notable of which was that she is attending college in another state. Since then our friendship has seemed strained; her replies to my emails have been curt, and she hasn't initiated any communication with me, the last time I saw her she seemed very uncomfortable, and, lastly, I wasn't invited to her mother's wedding, but this could have been her mom's decision. I'm not offended at all, but my question is this: should I try to talk to her about her apparent discomfort, or would this make her more uneasy, and should I just let the matter rest, or is there a third option you might suggest?
I'm a huge fan of the show, and thanks for taking the time to read my question. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
i want to know how to successfully hit on a girl i like at work? i like her but i don't want to come off "creepy".
June Gloom is THE BEST! Because 95% of the rest of the year in Southern California, the weather is the SAME.
"Mans"???
Switching out half your friends every seven years... that's not necessarily a bad thing...
I'm beyond help, so there is no point in asking for advice from anyone, expert or not. But it's nice to know Brigitte is willing to share the screen to help us all.
You just know Jim Murphy is going to ask Brigitte's guy friends for advice on how to get her to acknowledge his ankle injury.

Well, thanks a lot for the sarcasm, Joe! I just happened to meet with my orthopaedic surgeon today (that's Day 307 to YOU, Brigitte), and according to him, I should never attempt to run or jog ever again. THAT'S how serious it was! I was in a wheelchair for months... but go ahead and keep up the sarcasm... I'm sure you'll keep me in my place!
...oh, and for the record, no... I don't intend to ask any guy for advice. I'm sure there are plenty of guys out there like you, though, who will be more than willing to offer it without my asking!
Don't mind me. It's June Gloom... and it's REALLY raining on the east coast... and I can't run to get out of the rain.
I do have to say from 7 years ago, which is back in high school, my group have friends has pretty much been the same. I only really made a couple of real friends in college, but my small click of people has been the same people for pretty much the past 8 to 10 years. A couple of people have been added to the group I suppose beyond those main ones.
All righty, I do actually have a thingy I need advice on. I tend to get an above average amount of attention from prospective suitors and often find out months down the road that "so and so" was interested in me, like, forever, and I was totally oblivious. I find it really suckish and lame that I am 21 and have been single since...like, last August...and keep finding out that people are into me. Seriously, how am I supposed to know this? I'm probably the most oblivious person in the world. Additionally, when I'm interested in someone, I always feel really awkward and crappy with no idea what to do. I will never, ever make the first move because it freaks me out a little bit. What can I do to like, understand that people are into me or stop appearing almost Tony Shalhoub as Monk-level awkward / neurotic (in female form) around those I'm interested in?

If a guy talks to you and the conversation has nothing to do with you bringing him food (ie. you're not a waitress) he's interested in you.
