I have a new advice column on ABC Family’s website for their hit show The Secret Life of the American Teenager, which I watch religiously (and would even if I didn’t have the column!).

dear sarah looks at questions from teenagers across the country and I’ll be posting new stuff every single week, which I’ll link to here and on my twitter. You can comment and send in new questions. I especially love the comments because it’s like a conference call with people from all over. Everyone has something to say and there’s some good advice in there!

The first column is all about how guys act one way when they’re alone with you and another way when their friends are around…common problem, right?

Here’s the exact question: I think this guy likes me!! But when he’s with his friends and me he doesn’t talk to me that much. When it’s just me and him alone, he always talks to me!! Does he like me? (And you can read my answer here.)

So, what do you need help with? Anything. Everything. Just ask!
