My best friend is OBSESSED with her boyfriend. They are sooo clingy, and frankly, it creeps me (and everyone else) out. I've tried telling her to tone it down before, which she does for about a week. Is there any way to tell her, nicely, to quit acting in a way that makes me want to vomit?

This one is sort of a lose/lose situation. If you say something to her, she'll get defensive and just think you're jealous of the close relationship she has with her snuggly wuggly schmoopie bear. On the other hand, if you bite your tongue, you're just enabling her sickly sweet behavior. She'll turn into one of those people who writes lengthy Facebook status messages about her "snuggle monkey," and then comments on her own post when she hits the character limit.

You've already asked her to tone it down, and nothing changed. Explain to her that you love spending time together, but you can't be in her presence when she's with her boyfriend. She might get mad, and pull away, but that's the risk you have to take right now. The best thing you can do is to let her go through this phase and hope she eventually calms down.

She's in the early stages of the relationship, right? It'll even out soon. Eventually they'll come out of their snuggle cocoon and realize that they suddenly have zero friends. This will be the point when they decide whether to be one of those couples who spends all of their time together, or tone down the cutesy, lovey dovey vomit-y stuff in public.

On a related note, apparently studies show that couples who create cutesy nicknames for each other are more likely to have long-term potential. Ugh. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go vomit up some unicorn horns.

I would just explain to the friend how you feel about pda, and make sure she understands that its nothing personal to her and her boyfriend, that you just dont like it in general. Let her know that you feel that touchy/lovey-dovey behavior is something that in your opinion, belongs in the bedroom. There is nothing wrong with holding hands, or sneaking in a quick kiss(preferably not around a bunch of people) or even the girl leaning back against the guy (as long as he isnt trying to suck hickies or something) if everyone is standing around talking, those are all kind of endearing, but when it gets to the mushy cutesy vomit inducing level and they are all over each other, thats a whole other story.
Maybe if she understands that you are happy for them, but have the issue with the pda itself, she will tone it down permanently.
Good luck! This is a tough situation.

The question is whatthe real problem? Do you miss spending time with your friend or do you have a problem with their relationship? Their relationship is thier relationship and even if it last forever, that's what makes her and her boyfriend happy.

Some people don't like at act like they're even together in public, but if that works for you that works for you. If you're a public ass grabber and can't stay off each other then so be it. Turn the other way.

It can be about "if that's you, then do it" but when couples get all mushy, it's awkward for the people around them. I think this is more of a respect thing. The OP has already told her friend about it and the friend is showing she doesn't really care about her friend enough to stop or at least tone it down.

Make a pass at him. If he bites and he likes you better in bed, I bet that will drive a wedge right between them. And then they won't be so clingy...

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
