Here's how to ensure conversations with your gal pals leave you feeling upbeat rather than beat up.
Have you ever looked forward to a chick-chat with a friend or been excited to open an email from a gal pal you look forward to hearing from only to get dumped on as if you are a garbage can for their troubles and complaints? A good friend conversation whether face-to-face, phone or email should leave you feeling positive, happy and supported as opposed to many that leave us feeling that with friends like that, who needs enemies.

We dread that night.

How long distance relationships are for the strong willed and how some are looking for a quick fix.
Something is definitely in the water! The past few months my guy friends have become more needy and my girlfriends have become more feisty and more about the "booty call".

How can you help a friend who you think is self-destructing? Can your friendship & respect save her?
Here's a listener question I received.
Dear Maryanne, One of my best friends has been unhealthily obsessed with the same guy for almost four years (we're now seniors in college).

Staying in touch with friends can add endless joy and laughter to your life.
How to keep your friendships alive despite your busy schedules.
We're all busy. Let's face it. Our lives are busy. Sometimes between family, work and other obligations, your friendships can slip through the cracks. Sure, you "like" her status on Facebook but when is the last time you gave her an actual phone call? For some friends like one of my best friends, this is totally cool. She lives far away and I see her once or twice a year. We might not talk for months but when we're together, it's like we never left.
