He "Mistakenly" Texted The Wrong Girl & She Uses A Dating Site Without Being On It

DEAR CAT: I was on a date with an amazing girl when I got a text from a girl I dated a few weeks before. I responded but accidentally sent it to the girl I was on the date with! The excuse I came up with was terrible and now she said she needs to “take a breather.” How do I make this better?

DEAR CAT: I got an email from a coworker who saw my profile on a dating site. She doesn’t subscribe to the site but she asked me out and I don’t even know her. I feel somewhat “found out” and angry that she emailed me during the work day for personal reasons. Didn’t she cross a line here?

She'd Be Perfect - After A Boob Job & When Friends Won't Listen

DEAR CAT: My boyfriend is pressuring me to get my breasts enlarged. He says I would be perfect with a “slightly larger chest.” I’ve said I’m not interested but he mentions it often and it’s affecting my attraction to him…

DEAR CAT: I had a problem earlier this summer. I tried talking about it with a friend but she made me feel like I should have been over it by now. I’ve heard all about her problems and issues, then I tell her one problem and she won’t listen. I don’t know if the friendship is worth it anymore…

His Parents Only Call When They Want Money & Introducing Her Friends Left Her Friend-less
