21, Male asks Alana: Good guys finish last?  This is the question that has been turning in my mind for the last few weeks, with a recent breakup in my mind.  Alana, I have been in a few serious relationships and have done my best to be a “perfect boyfriend”: always taking my girlfriend out, never abusive physically or verbally, and loved by her friends as well as family.  But all of them have ended tragically, yet I see many of my friends treating their girlfriends like garbage and these ladies seem more compelled to stay!  I ignore my friends’ advice to follow their example but it brings about a question: why is it that I can see more examples of bad guys lasting, but good guys getting dumped?

Living in Rolla, you learn where to eat: Wasabi, Lucky House, maybe Applebee’s. But just recently we’ve attained a new eatery: D. Brooke’s. Located on 6th Street where L.L. Dogs used to be, this cute little café is a nice change from the usual Chartwells fare. They offer delicious sandwiches, yummy soups, and Cheesecake Factory cheesecakes. Chocolate popcorn, along with other chocolate delights, is sold there as well – don’t want to miss those. The tiny restaurant can only hold about 30 people at the most, which makes for a good place to take a date for dinner before taking in a movie at one of the Forum’s 4 theaters.
Anyway, it’s a small addition, but to a small town like Rolla small additions can make a huge difference. So the next time you look at your girlfriend on a Friday night and wonder what you’ll do before the drinking starts, remind yourself that you’ve got a new idea (and you can tell her that you thought of it yourself).

20, Male asks Alana: I have had my girlfriend for years now but she has been the only girl I truly been with. This has started to enter my mind lately and I have caught myself thinking about other girls not knowing what I should do. Part of me thinks that I should stick with her because I am happy with her and I never want to lose her, but the other part of me thinks that I could be happier with another person. I was hoping you might be able to assist me in the right direction.

that but this would be a terrible article, and I would probably never be asked to write again. I am saying my friends suck because they point out every flaw that I have and take advantage of me. I am prompted to say this because this weekend I met several of my friends at a party, and they were being complete d-bags.
