Dear Nina,

Hoping you can give me a hand with some advice.

I was having drinks with some friends and we were chatting about different condos in the area. I mentioned a friend (not present) had told me he hooked up with a guy who lived in a particular condo and that it was supposed to be quite beautiful. Expensive, great location, very nice.

One of my Happy Hour friends immediately said he knew who the owner was apparently older, high income and not bad looking and he also said, "Your friend must be young and pretty."

"Ya he is."

At that point he said, "That’s how he like em, tell your friend not to let him get bored in bed or start to show his age, and it’ll be fun for a while."

Now the question.  Do we all go out, have drinks, maybe quite a few drinks and mention this?

Or do we just work on our smiles while listening to how this guy is a combo of Brad Pitt/George Clooney and admire the latest gifts?

Confused Friend

Are you for real? Perhaps you should be asking yourself this: what does this friendship mean to me?  Once you have asked yourself this question - and answered honestly - you can begin to answer the to tell or not to tell question. If this person means nothing, then you can sit by and be a true evil queen and wait for the possible devastation to begin and enjoy the ringside seats. Or, on the other hand, if you really do honestly care and consider this person to be a good friend, then I suggest you behave accordingly and tell him what you heard. If he hasn’t heard the rumours, he should hear it from a friend.

Friends are few and far between and should be treasured. Also you should know friendship is a two way street, so the moral here is to put yourself in their shoes or ask the question what would they do if the situation were reversed.

Sincerely yours

Nina
