A/N: Hello everyone. I want to apologize for the delay in the column. There was a strigoi attack at court, and we've all been awfully busy. I apologize, and hope to get to all of the questions that have gone unanswered up to this point. I hope everyone can forgive us, and continue to submit your questions. The boys have their work cut out for them now, so let's get to it. Without further ado:
Dimitri and Rose,
So what is the best way to kick the ass of a cheating, lying, soon to be EX boyfriend... he cheated with three girls. My older sister being one of them, and two of my friends being the other two...I need some fool proof way to make him miserable, humiliate him and hurt him at the same time. Any ideas? Rose?
Thanks a zillion
Revenge Seeker
Dear Revenge Seeker,
My input on the subject is that there shouldn't be any violence. It doesn't really help anything. If anything, it makes it worse, but as you asked, I spoke to Rose, and this is what she had to say:
"I'm going to start by saying… what the hell kind of relationship do you what with your friends and sister that they would do anything with your boyfriend. That's freakin' ridiculous. It sounds to me like they all need their asses kicked. Regardless, the best way to humiliate him would probably be… if he sent you any pictures at all of himself. i.e. trying to act sexy, or nude, or anything of that nature. POST THEM SOMEWHERE. Show them to everyone. Anything like that will kill his ego, I promise. Pull pranks on him, pour your milk on him at lunch like people have done in movies. (I know its cliché, but it's damn sure funny.) Have fun."
Jesus, I wonder how I haven't ended up with something poured on me, or if there's some kind of embarrassing photos of me flying around somewhere.
-Dimitri.
Dear Adrian and Dimitri,
Two years ago I was abused by my mother for half of my life, mostly emotionally. It also happened to my older half-sister before she moved out. She left at 15 and I left when I was 14. We both live with our dads (we don't have the same father).Over the last two years of being away from my mother, she keeps on calling me, wanting to see me. I keep saying no because even though I tell my whole family that I'm not ready (which is partly true) I'm also afraid of her. Because if you say one thing harmless to her, she might take it as a mean comment and then she'll snap.
Because of the abuse from my mother I have a hard time being around crowds, making new friends and other stuff to. I just learned from my doctor that I have Aniexty and so I'm trying to overcome it.
My family knows whats going on and when they talk to me about all is going on, I feel like sometimes they're blaming me. my grandmother says since my sister could get over it as quickly as she could, then I should too...
But I want to say that everyone is different and my mother had this big effect on me and my life. But everyone is pressuring me to see her. Even my father told me to grow up and see her, which really hurt my feelings.
I have no one else to talk to :(
What do you guys think I should do? Should I see my mother? Should I be over this by now like my sister?
Signed,
The Loner
Dear Loner,
I'm sorry, but isn't your family supposed to be there for support? Aren't they supposed to be there to boost you up when you're feeling down? It sounds to me like your family has some issues of their own they need to solve. Look, I've never been the sentimental one or anything like that, but if you don't want to see her… don't. They shouldn't force you into something that you're obviously not ready for. People need to freakin' learn that everyone is different when it comes to getting over stuff. Don't give into that. When they tell you that you need to see her, you tell them no. I wouldn't give a crap if they think you need to grow up, or that your sister has gotten over it already. I'd tell em' to bite me, I'll do it when I'm ready. Hope this helps.
-Adrian.
I'm going to have to agree with Adrian here. If you're not ready, they shouldn't force you into it. A family is supposed to support your decisions whether they think they are right or not. It's what a family is there for, and yours obviously is oblivious to that. You see her when you're ready. I know what it's like to have an abusive parent, and to watch abuse happen in a home. It's not an easy thing to overcome. I went about it all wrong, but I don't regret what I did. You on the other hand have a choice. Don't make the wrong one. If you're not ready… wait. It'll make it easier when you are ready.
-Dimitri.
Dear Adrian & Dimitri,
I met this guy the other day and he's my best friends really good guy friend. she suggested that we get together but the problem is he says he doesnt want a relationship because he might be moving in 7 months. I haven't seen him in almost a week and still can't get him out of my head though, i've never liked a guy this much...what should I do?
Sincerely,
hoplessly confused!
Dear Hopeless,
Do I hear a friends-with-benefits situation? I think so. Although, if you really feel that strongly for him… that's a bad idea. Don't go there. Regardless, long distance relationships never last… don't get yourself into that, because it'll only hurt you in the end.
-Adrian.
I worry about Adrian sometimes. Friends with benefits isn't a good thing. Don't go that route. It'll lead you smack dab in the middle of nowhere, I promise. Long distance relationships are hard, but if you feel that you want to be with him that bad, and vice versa, try it. If it doesn't work, you can't say you didn't try.
-Dimitri.
ADRIAN: I had plenty of friends with benefits, and I turned out fine. What do you think Rose and I-.
APRIL: ADRIAN! Don't go there… You guys were doing so well.
DIMITRI: I need a break. Adrian can handle the questions for awhile.
APRIL: See what you did… Geez.
Dear Boys,
My best friend likes my boyfriend, so I'm trying to set them up without hurting either of their feelings- just cause I'm willing to give him up for her joy, and him because, well, he really does like me, and, we are really good friends, so he can get back at me if I really piss him off... I'm screwed... Friend's have always come before guys with me, so... screaming with madness I'm basically in serious trouble... If she finds out, shell be ANGARY!
Help me before i go insane,
some random girl with a name
Dear Random,
I'm sorry? What? I'm so confused. You're question is like up and down and all over the place. I can't really understand what you're asking. If I have this straight, you're going to give up your boyfriend, so your best friend can have him, because friends come before guys? What the hell kind of crap is that? If he really likes you he wouldn't even think of being-. I'm sorry, but this is so stupid, I can't even dignify it with a real answer.
-Adrian.
DIMITRI: I'm back.
ADRIAN: Oh boy… just in time for the best question… ever.
Dimitri,
what would you do if you found out that Adrian was using compulsion on rose to make her have sex with him- while you were still going out?
Dear Anonymous,
He wouldn't be alive to tell the tale. That's all I'm going to say about this one.
-Dimitri.
ADRIAN: Awe, that's all I get? No detailed story about how you would torture and kill me? That's no fun. Rose's dad was more fun when he told me what he'd do to me if he hurt me.
DIMITRI: I'd rather it be a surprise when the time comes.
APRIL: Guys, we have a lot of questions to get through… let's focus here.
Dear Dimitri and Adrian
Okay.
Ugh, if a guy keeps implying he's gonna ask you out... But doesn't?... What does it mean?
-Karma.
Dear Karma,
If he's implying it and doesn't do it, it's either because he's scared of rejection (rejection sucks), he's not really sure he wants to be with you, or he's just yanking your chain for attention.
-Adrian.
He's probably nervous or scared of rejection. A guy will never admit it, but its one thing that most of us are seriously afraid of. If he wants to be with you, he'll come around. Just give it some time.
-Dimitri.
Dear Adrian:
Why are you so against humans! Honestly, I love you Dimitri (especially you and Rose) but Adrian... You're wonderful.
I would totally do you right now ;D
Dear my favorite human ever… besides my feeder,
I'm sorry but you question just kind of made my day. It's not that I'm against humans. You guys taste UHH-MAZING. Regardless, where I'm from, it's frowned upon, and me being royal, I'd get into even more trouble. I'm usually all for the trouble scene, but even I, Adrian Ivashkov have limits. I'm sorry sweetheart. Stick with your own species this time… but hey, if you ever wanna become a feeder… hit me up. ;)
-Adrian.
DIMITRI: I'm truly disgusted at this.
ADRIAN: Don't be jealous you don't get offers like this, Belikov.
DIMITRI: I'm perfectly happy with what I have at home, although you wouldn't-.
APRIL: Dimitri, let's not go there… we know how touchy he is.
ADRIAN: Both of you can kiss my ass. -_-
Dear Boys..
So I haven't talked to my 'friend' yet. This morning I saw them walking together. They both saw me I'm sure of it. My ex looked like he was expecting a fight, so aprehensive. I looked at my friend and shook my head. For me that's saying a lot. She tried talking to me and my friend Ella today after school, and I just said hey and walked away, in fear of punching her. Btw I'm with Adrian here and think she needs a good punch in the face... Anyway later she texted me "Are you mad at me?" Like wtf? OF COURSE IM MAD! How do I tell her I am mad without being bluntly bitchy about it?
Thanks a million,
Smileyface Devil
Dear Smileyface Devil,
I'm sorry, but after I've heard everything that's happened, you have every right to be bitchy. Isn't that what women are best at? Being bitchy and all that? Anyway, she sounds like she needs a good punch in the face. I'd do it. I wouldn't give a damn. She deserves it.
-Adrian.
I don't understand the need in the violence. Just talk to her, and tell her how you feel. It's the only way to resolve anything, because punching her in the face is only going to make it worse. Be honest and upfront with her. If you feel bitchy towards her (which you obviously do) There's no other way for it to come across. Just tell her.
-Dimitri.
ADRIAN: That's not exactly true, Belikov. I heard the story about Rose breaking Mia's nose, and they're friends now.
DIMITRI: That's a special case. Mia saved Rose's life.
ADRIAN: Still counts.
So my female best friend likes my male best friend. She wants him to ask her out and has been pushing me to get him to do it. I like him too though...and I think he likes me. What should I do?
Xx Caught in the Middle
Dear Caught,
There's nothing you can really do. If he likes you and you like him, get together. I mean, if he doesn't like her, nothing you can say is going to make him get with her, especially if he wants you. Do what's going to make you happy, not what's going to make her happy.
-Adrian.
Even though Adrian put it kind of rudely, I guess he's right. If the guy likes you… there's nothing you can do to make him want her. If he got with her, it would only be because he couldn't be with you. Don't give him up for her if you really like him.
-Dimitri.
Dimitri-
When you were teaching Rose how to fight, how did you control yourself after you knew you loved her? Cuz I'm in gym with the guy I like and we have to box, wrestle, and swim with each other... it ought a be interesting... lol
Xx Caught in the Middle
Dear Caught,
Let's just say it wasn't without effort. She's hard to resist. None the less, you have to stay in control. I'd have many years to learn it. If you're still in school, that means you're young, and probably not as in control as I was. Therefore, it might be a little more difficult for you. You'll figure it out.
-Dimitri.
ADRIAN: You obviously didn't control yourself that well, huh Cradle Robber?
APRIL: Damn it, Adrian… Will you knock it off?
ADRIAN: I'm sorry.
So I really liked this guy who is my best friend, but it never went anywhere. Then i started dating his friend and it was good at first but then he started treating me wrong. I talked to my best friend guy i like) and he helped me through it. A few days before i decided to break up with my bf, my best friend (guy i like) announced he liked me. I really like him back, but i dont want to hurt my bf by dating his best frind, plus my girl best friend has crush on the same guy i do that wants to date me. He thinks i should break up with my bf and date him instead and i doint know what to do
-Confused.
Dear Confused,
What is up with all these girls being in love with the same guy… Jesus Christ, people need to learn to get their own men. Regardless, if he likes you and you like him… get with him. What more is there to it than that? I mean the whole girl best friend issue will cause some drama no doubt, but don't sacrifice your own happiness for that, and plus… if the guy were dating treated you like shit, why do you care if you hurt him. Sounds to me like he deserves it. Just sayin'
-Adrian.
Dear Adrian and Dimitri,
My best friend of 5 years (who is a guy) recently told me he didn't want to be best friends anymore; he just wanted to be friends. We've known each other since kindergarten. His reason for ending the friendship was because of our "genders" but really, he just found someone new: my 19 year old sister's best friend. She recently started talking to this guy which means she hasn't talked to my ex best friend in a while. Now, he's trying to come back to me and be friends. How do I cope & what do I do?
-Forever alone
Dear Forever alone,
That names kind of harsh, isn't it? I'm confused… He didn't want to be your bestfriend, he just wanted to be friends, because he found someone else to be best friends, and then they stopped talking to him because of another guy, and then he came back to you, and now you don't know what to do? Do I have it right? Okay, so anyway, kick him to the curb. He had no problem kicking you aside when he found someone 'better'. Forget that… move on from him. Find a new best friend and rub it in his face Atleast, that's what I'd do.
-Adrian.
Adrian is a little overdramatic on the subject of friends, considering he only has a few. Regardless, I think you should be his friend again, but let him know how what he did made you feel. I'd make sure he had a lot of making up to do before you fully let him back in.
-Dimitri.
ADRIAN: Asshole. -_-
Dear Adrian,
whats your favourite type of perfume scent for woman? Do you like natural? Fruity? Floral? Or simply other? What scent turns you on?
-Bored.
Dear Bored,
A woman's natural scent is actually amazing. Perfume can also make a woman smell heavenly… especially if it goes with her chemistry. Mix about 80 percent of a woman's perspiration with about twenty percent of a good perfume… Mmm, dead sexy. Regardless, I can't say there is a scent that really 'turns me on' exactly. If I told you who's scent turns me on after she's been working out, or doing heavy training, I'd probably get into trouble.
-Adrian.
APRIL: Dimitri, let it go.
DIMITRI: But he just-.
APRIL: Let. It. Go.
DIMITRI: Whatever.
Dear Dimitri & Adrian,
First off I would just like to say, that I love you both.:)
Anywaysss, there is this guy, he likes me a lot. But I just see him as like my best friend. I've told him SOOOOO many times, that I do not like him but he keeps asking me out. What can I do to get him to stopp! Help me pleaseeeeeeee!
I love you guyssss:)
Miranda the sexy beasttt
ps hit me up sometime Adriannn;)
Dear Miranda,
Some people are hard to discourage… some more than others. Cough-Adrian-Cough. Just be consistent, and make sure not to lead him on at all.
-Dimitri.
I love your name. Means your confident, and that's good… Once again, just keep telling him. If it gets to be really bad… resort to yelling. & for Dimitri's information, I gave up on Rose awhile ago when she cheated on me with him, therefore… I'm not hard to discourage. By the way, that's for the offer, but once again, your human…. And I stick to my own world. Thanks though.
-Adrian.
APRIL: Jesus Christ, if I would have known I was babysitting you two, I would have never agreed to this.
ADRIAN: But April, we love you.
APRIL: Shut up, Adrian. (:
Dear boys, this question goes out to both of you.
There's this guy I work with and I think I'm starting to like him. He's always teasing me and making me laugh. He's such a great guy; sweet & caring. There's only problem. He's 4 years older than I am. What do I do?
-Alone & Confused
Dear A&C,
Age is just a number, right cradle robber?
-Adrian.
How did I know something like that was coming. I say go for it. Four years isn't that big a age difference.
-Dimitri.
ADRIAN: Yeah, it's nothing compared to seven years, huh?
DIMITRI: Will you shut up.
ADRIAN: Fuck you, Belikov.
APRIL: BOYS! KNOCK IT OFF.
Dear Dimitri,
I want to learn how to speak Russian. I have always thought that Russia was such a fascinating country and learning the language would be amazing. However, I'm not to sure where or how to start. Any suggestions?
-Eager to learn.
Dear Eager,
Best place to start is your basic words, basic phrases. It's not an easy language to learn when you're American. Regardless, if you're serious about it, it will be easy for you, and I'll be rewarding in the end.
-Dimitri.
dear Adrian,
my friend didnt specialize but she kind of have a power to control feeling so is this spirit
-K
Dear K,
It's very possible. If she can control emotions, that's almost a type of compulsion. It's pretty amazing to have a power like that. I would say that's spirit, but I can't be sure.
-Adrian.
Dear Dimitri & Adrian,
There is this guy that I want to be in a relationship with but hes worried about how thimgs will turn out. He knows that I want to be with him, but he hasn't ready said yes yet. We talk all the time what should I do?
-Edlover
Dear Edlover,
Just give him time I suppose. If he wanted to be with you, he'd probably have already jumped at the idea, so something is obviously up. Just give him time.
-Adrian.
He's right. If it was something he was serious about, he wouldn't hesitate. There's obviously something in the way. Just give him a little bit to figure out what he wants, and hopefully it will work out.
-Dimitri.
Dear Adrian and Dimitri,
If you were gay, would you fall in love with each other? For all we know, hate is another expressive way of love! Or would you guys both fall in love with Christian and fight about it?
Miss Pyro
Dear Pyro,
What the hell kind of fucked up world are you living in? Me… Gay? Never going to happen. I'm way to sexy to be attracted to the same sex… plus, if I was… I damn sure wouldn't be attracted to a cradle robber… or Christian for that matter, just sayin. Even I have better taste than that.
-Adrian.
I'm not dignifying this with an answer… sorry.
-Dimitri.
