Dear Bubby,

Hi my name is Mary-Ann and I need some help.

Well, I was going out with this boy named Collin for about 3 years and then he started to get interested in other girls, so I said to myself, I am sick of this and I broke up with him and ever since that I have been going out with this guy named Matthew. There is only one bad thing... he doesn't go to my school and that sucks big time.

Well, we just had our School Dance last night and about an hour before the dance Collin called me up and asked me if I wanted to go to the dance with him so I said yes and I thought we would just go as friends. Well, when I got there he gave me a dozen roses and a very sweet card that says "I love you" and had photos of our first dates and little things like that. Well, we were dancing and he kissed me in front of all my friends. Well, they all cheered and stuff.

Well, after that he got on one knee and asked me for my forgiveness and asked me if I would go out with him again and I felt special and half of my heart is with Collin and half with Matthew and I feel bad because I kissed Collin and I really don't know what to do and I don’t want to break any hearts and I have feelings for both of these guys now and i just don't know what do so please help me!!!!!!!!

Mary-Ann


Dear MaryAnn,
Since you don't mention college I assume you are still in high school. And in high school your feeling are usually referred to as "puppy love" which means exactly what you are going through. In the past 3 years you should have been going out and having fun with a lot of different boys - so you could get to know them. I think you wasted a lot of time with this boy in 3 years. He "broke" up with you and then he "broke" up with another girl and made her unhappy and this will be his style until he matures and maybe it will always be his style.

His display at the party was only to get the attention of the other ""kids". And it was at your expense. Don't give him a second thought and start being friendly with other boys and girls - that will be more fun. You'll see.

Lots of fun and parties.

Bubby is our 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93 94 year old grandmother.
A few years ago we introduced her to the internet and we've been getting daily e-mails from her ever since. When she was 87, we began this website. We now believe she is the oldest blogger on the Internet.

Whether Bubby is reminding us that boyfriends do not substitute for warm jackets in the winter, or that it's better to receive a compliment than a brick, she always has something to say to her granddaughters.

Now with this new website, Bubby can finally share her wisdom with the rest of the world. And she's excited about it! (Which confuses us, because she used to say we were all she needed.)

Hopefully this will be as much fun for new readers as it will surely be for her. And if not, well, as Bubby says, it will all come out in the wash.

So, are you looking for advice on food, work, a broken heart, or the perfect bat mitzvah present?

But no dirty words allowed or you'll only get one matzah ball.
