  Anonymous asked: Hey Isaac! Just read your post on the friendzone and I'm hoping you'll have some specific advice for my situation. I was seeing a guy, not for that long - a couple months, and about a month ago he broke up with me (said it wasn't working). We're trying to be friends but I think deep down I'm hoping we will get back together. This is despite the fact that he's ruled it out. Am I just a sucker to keep hanging out with him? I do like his company but I have doubts about my motives. What to do!?

  You need to listen to what he’s said and accept that the relationship isn’t going to happen. Either cut your losses and be his friend or cut ties. It’s as simple as that. An old friend messaged me yesterday about my post and said this: 

  The basic rules to live by in my opinion are:
  1. Politely state your intention.
  2. Move on (romantically speaking) when the person says no.
  3. If you’ve agreed to just be friends then honour that.

  Anonymous asked: any words of comfort for someone who just got dumped?

  The hardest thing about being in a relationship that breaks up is that it feels like you let somebody see everything that you are and they turned around and said, “thanks but no thanks”. The reality is that you’re not going to be right for some people and some people are not going to be right for you. It doesn’t reflect badly on you as a human being, it doesn’t mean you’re not attractive or clever or funny or charming, it just means that one person decided that they needed different things from the person that they’re eventually going to want to spend their whole life with. Who knows? In a week or two when the broken heart begins to mend, maybe you’ll reflect on the relationship and decide that the person you were with wasn’t 100% right for you, either. Spend tons of time with your friends and family, keep busy, and look at it as an opportunity to go achieve something you’ve been wanting to do for ages. Best of luck.

  Anonymous asked: Hey, Isaac! Since you answered "How much does it cost to live in New York" can you also tell us about Paris, based on your experience living there?

  I stayed in Paris with a wealthy friend, and she let me crash in her maid’s quarters (not even joking) for 600 euro per month. When you’re spending euros and earning any other currency you’re pretty much screwed, so I’d hazard a guess that Paris was the most expensive place I’ve ever lived. 

  You can get by speaking English but it won’t help you in social settings, because everyone obviously speaks French to all their friends. The amount of times I’d go out with people and get exhausted just attempting to translate what they were saying in my head was astronomical. Obviously the longer you’re there the better your language skills get, but it’s still hard. And most of the French people I met had been friends with their mates for years, so it was hard to be like, “Hey let me join your inner circle!” So I ended up hanging out with these Australian models who were living there at the time (which is how I eventually moved to New York and ended up friends with Tom Bull). 

  Don’t get me wrong, I love Paris, it’s in my top three cities in the world, but I’d say it’s a hard place to live if you don’t speak French pretty damn well, you don’t have quite a lot of money behind you, and you’re trying to find work, friends, an apartment and everything else that constitutes a normal life. 

  Go there for a month or two over summer and try it out. If you love it, do it.
