Q
Dear Pearl, I have a friend who is always chising the guys I like. It’s very strange, since we are already in our 20s.
This used to be the thing for her in high school, but back then I was not bothered as we were young and there was lots of time and lots of boys around and we were not thinking about anything serious.
Maar Auntie, am I wrong to think she is weird for still pulling these tricks?
We are not getting any younger, and it’s time to start thinking of settling down.
My friend goes out of her way to make moves on any guy who seems interested in me. And she almost always gets them, because she has no problem jumping in bed with any guy.
Haarreputation loop haar vooruit. I don’t like to go so fast with a guy.
What can I do to change her behaviour?
From J.

Dear J, you have asked Auntie a question, but let me ask you one in return: Do you really want to waste your time on this childish “friend” who is always ready to stab you in the back?
Auntie can’t even say her behaviour was understandable back in the day, because what kind of geitjie gat is always in competition with her friend?
Girl, why are you friends with this woman?
True friends don’t steal each other’s men, and now it’s even worse that she is older.
Most of us can’t wait to finish school and enter the real world, whether it’s in a relationships or the workplace, but this girl seems trapped in her teens.
She needs to catch a wake-up call because she sounds like one sad and desperate person.
J, life is too short to waste your time with someone who is out to make your life a misery.
Auntie skeems you should just stop hanging out with this girl.
Befriend those who will not want to steal your happiness.
Good luck, Auntie hopes you find your Mister Right very soon.
