Dear Angry Black Grrl:
Money woes, Christmas gifts, cheap guys...



GOT A QUESTION?
ADVICE OF THE MONTH
Dear Angry Black Grrl,
I would like to remain anonymous, so just refer to me as even-tempered white man. I have a problem and would like some advice. I am very cheap. Since this is the case, where can a fine wonderbread brother like myself find women??? I've tried hanging out at the dollar store and Winners, but I am even cheaper than those girls. What's a boy to do???
Even-Tempered White Man

Yo, wonderbread, what'chu look like??? You know I don't mind having some cream in my coffee. Well, I do like the brothas with a little dough, but that's alright. Send me a picture, okay??!

Dear Angry Black Grrl,
A friend leant me some money, $150 to be exact. Later, he had some car trouble and brought his car to my garage. I did the tune-up for free. My question is - do I still own the son-of-a-bitch his money or is this payback enough?
Mr. Handyman

According to me, you don't owe the son-of-a-bitch anything. With keeping with this Joyous Season, you can politely ask him if he would like his money, and if he says yes, you need to charge his ass for the car repairs!

Dear Angry Black Grrl,
I did something terrible. I fooled around with this guy that my friend was in love with for the past six months. I always found him attractive, and one night we flirted and I followed him back to his place. He says he has no interest in my friend, and would rather date me. She doesn't know anything. What should I do???
Trapped in the Middle

Girl, you know you ain't right! How you goin' to fool around with your friend's crush? Yeah, I know he ain't her man, but damn - you shouldn't go out like that. If you intend on dating that guy, then you better tell your girl. If it was a one-time deal, then I recommend that you don't say a word. Good-luck, playa.

Dear Angry Black Grrl,
How are you? I hope your holidays are going well. This is my dilemma: I know that my boyfriend has bought me an incredibly expensive gift this Christmas (although he doesn't know that I know). It's something that I've always wanted, and the selfish part of me wants the gift badly. I also know that I cannot match the monetary value of the gift, and that he drained his savings to get me this. I don't want to crush him by telling him I know about the surprise and that he should return the gift, and at the same time I really, really, really want it. What would you do?
Helpless and Hopeful this Christmas

Yo, isn't Christmas about the spirit of giving??? You don't have to "match the monetary value," but give your boo something from your heart. So give your man his gift, take your gift, and shut the hell up. 'Nuff said. ¤ Michelle
