BFFs & BFs: Preventing Problems Between Your Two Faves

Picture this: You just met your version of Prince Charming. He is everything you think you ever wanted in a boyfriend. La dee da, some time goes by and voila!—he is your full-on boyfriend. You know what comes next? No... not Meet the Parents (although, I did really like that movie)... meet your BFFs. You'll meet his, he'll meet yours. Those precious moments with just the two of you alone are gone (geez, it sounds like you're having a baby, right?) and now nights are spent with his friends, maybe yours, double dating, whatever—and alone time will become more rare. This can be a good thing, in fact, a great thing. If you win his friends over, they'll love you—and won't be all bothered when he needs girlfriend time. If he wins your friends over they won't call you that girl, you know the-one-who-drops-everything-for-her-absolutely-horrible-boyfriend. Ew.

Got a burning love life q? Consult our Real Live College Guy (he also goes by Chase). Each month, our RLCG will take you inside the college guy's brain to demystify your tricky, sticky, icky love (can you even call it that?) situations.
Ready?  Here goes...
Should I Stay Or Should I Go?  Any time I'm over a guy's room hooking up with him or he is over my room, I'm never sure when is the proper time to leave.  This goes both for times when you stay the night and times when you don't.  So actually my first question is, how can you tell if he actually wants you to stay the night or is just saying that?  When should you take him up on his offer versus decide to go home?  And then, who should initiate leaving?  I don't want it to feel like I'm kicking a guy out or leaving his room abruptly, but I also don't want to overstay my welcome, and I can never tell who should leave when!  How can I tell if he wants me to leave or wants to leave my room? –In Limbo at Louisiana

Her Gay Best Friend: Red Light, Green Light--Giving off the Right Signals to Let a Guy Know You're Interested

Yesterday I witnessed something that was about as concerning to me as that time my friend's father "liked" a picture of her in a bikini. And I really wouldn't feel right unless I said something about it.
Let me paint the picture for you. We were eating our usual lunch of deli sandwiches peppered with juicy, delicious gossip when he walked in. You know who I mean--tall, handsome, more delectable than one of those miniature apple pies from McDonald's. Not my type really, but I've long seen how your eyes light up when he struts his fine self into the room. You want him. You need him. You yearn for his love like I yearn for the opportunity to eat one of the aforementioned pies without experiencing food guilt.

Women Campus's No-Fly List: Beware of these 5 guys

Admit it; your last boyfriend was a loser.  He never returned your calls, broke off dates, and flirted with everything that had a pair of you-know-whats, but you were in love.  Every time he coughed up the $3.95 to take you on an ice cream date, you melted faster than your chocolate chip mint cone. Cue gag.  How could you have been so wrong? You were a sucker, like millions of women across the globe.
