Making PC an emotionally stable place one letter at a time


Dear Tiff and Earl,

I need advice about a girl.
There is a girl in my Civ class that I like, but I’m not sure if she likes me back. We’ve made eye contact three times this semester so I think it’s clear that she has feelings for me. And, she sat two seats away from me during seminar last week, which is even more proof. I think she is clearly in love with me; my favorite color is blue and she wore blue during lecture one time. I didn’t even have to tell her I liked blue! Maybe we are telepathic! Tiff and Earl, I think I’m going to propose next week!

Sincerely,
In-Love Freshman


Dear In-Love Freshman,

Are you out of your mind?
Dude, she hasn’t even spoken to you! The way you talk about her is a little creepy, you should leave her alone. Listen to your friends, man. She just isn’t into you!

— Earl


Hey In-Love Freshman,

I’m glad you are able to express your feelings so clearly. You might want to slow down and step back from the situation. Instead of proposing, you should try talking to her first! Baby steps! Good luck!

— Tiff
