Spreading the love: The Love Doc.
Lovey Doves... By BreeAnna Burks
Help, I'm in love and it won't return!
I have read your column for years, but I never thought that I would be writing to you. I've tried going to meetings of "Women who love too much" but I'm still hurting, so I thought maybe you could help me. My problem is that the guy I love doesn't want to be in the same room with me. Oh Gabby, I don't know what to do! He hates me, I just know it! I was hoping you could give me advice of how to make him love me back. You can do that, can't you?
-The Desperate Mad Woman in Love
Misleading
Helena thinks everyone is mocking her, when in truth, they're not mocking her, they really love her('They' being Demetrius and Lysander) even if it was because of the juice.
Heartbroken
Helena loves Demetrius, and while he doesn't love her back, she keeps on trying. Loving someone when they don't love you back is like hugging a cactus. The tighter you hold, the more it hurts.
Jealous
Helena is jealous that Demetrius loves Hermia, and she can't do anything about it.
I feel so sorry for Helena.... Looks like she'll always be a stalker.
Re:Help, I'm in love and it won't return!
I see your problem, devastating, really. I'm going to help you anyway I can without getting involved. Although you may not like the advice.
For one, leave him alone COMPLETELY. He won't hate you anymore than he does, and maybe it'll fade away. And who knows? Maybe you'll find someone else. Worst that can happen is that you'll never be with him. Which will probably happen.
The second advice that I'm going to give you(which is also the last) is what you may not want to do. The advice is to keep on trying to make him love you. Who knows; maybe he'll return his love one day. The worst that can happen is... that maybe he'll hate you more. At least you can be with him.
I give you the very best of luck, I hope that he could see that you are a lovely girl(or so I've heard) and you guys would live happily ever after. send me another letter when you have anymore dreadful love problems. I doubt my advice would work.
