00:00I honestly didn't even remember getting called misguided, so I'm like s***, I'm misguided, I guess.
00:07Hi, I'm Dylan Ephron, and this is If It Were Me with Cosmo.
00:13Today, I'm going through real-life confessions from Cosmo readers and telling you how I would handle them.
00:18I can be really honest, but I'm also kind of just aloof and dumb in a lot of areas.
00:22I think people appreciate my help, and I'm always willing to give it.
00:26Never going to claim it's right.
00:27Let's get started. It's getting juicy.
00:29Real-life traitor. My roommate and I started out as great friends until I made out with his crush while he was away.
00:36How do I address this without ruining our living situation and making things awkward?
00:42If you guys are great friends, this isn't the end of the world. It was a crush.
00:46Yeah, you messed up, own it, be honest with your friend.
00:49You're not a traitor, you just messed up.
00:52We all make mistakes.
00:53It's not like it was a fiancé or something.
00:56Up the stakes, this is too easy.
00:59Kiss of death. I found out my girlfriend has been telling our mutual friends that I'm a bad kisser, but she has yet to be honest with me.
01:06How do I confront her?
01:08That's an easy one, too. Just go practice, and then just wow her.
01:14Do your job. If you know it, it doesn't matter how you got the feedback, but you got it. Go freaking work on it.
01:22I don't know how you get practice. Maybe find a mirror.
01:27Watch a YouTube video. You can learn anything on YouTube.
01:30Right now, your girlfriend has very low expectations of you. I relate to this on traitors.
01:34My expectations were very low. You don't have to do a lot.
01:38There's only room to improve. That's the goal. Set the bar low and then exceed expectations.
01:45Frappe faux pas.
01:46My boyfriend only orders frappuccinos with extra whipped cream and chocolate drizzle, and it gives me such an ick.
01:54Should I break up with him?
01:57Yes.
02:00Your boyfriend's ordering frappuccinos with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle every day?
02:07It's such a red flag.
02:09Yeah, I'm just envisioning him with a cherry on top and picking it off with his mouth.
02:14It's so goofy.
02:17The nosy appetite.
02:18Every time we're at a restaurant, my boyfriend asks the table next to us what they ordered.
02:23Sorry. That's definitely me.
02:27I got eagle eyes when I walk in. I'm looking around.
02:30He thinks it's a fun conversation starter, but I find it so cringe.
02:33How do I stop this without hurting his feelings?
02:37Let him be him. Come on. That's me.
02:40When I walk into a restaurant, it's like seeing a Yelp page.
02:43I'm looking around, and I'm like, oh, okay, the meatballs look good. Don't order the salad.
02:49I totally understand it, but maybe on his end, if he gets feedback, he can internalize that.
02:56He doesn't have to voice his opinion when he sees the salad and the meatballs.
02:59He can just look around.
03:01Do you make conversations with the table next to you, or are you just looking?
03:05I think it depends. If they look nice, I might start up a conversation.
03:10Luckily, I don't think it's my girlfriend's egg.
03:14Brother lover.
03:15I introduced the new girl I'm dating to my family, and she seemed to really hit it off with my brother.
03:20Maybe a little too much.
03:22She hasn't stopped asking questions about him since.
03:24Should I be concerned?
03:26Probably.
03:29If it's love eyes at my brother, yeah, there's something wrong.
03:33You two get a room.
03:35But if it's genuine, and she's actually interested in your family, that's amazing.
03:39They need to have a conversation. Why are they writing into this?
03:42It's not for you, it's for your brother.
03:44If he's into it, that's great.
03:46While we're talking about brothers, what was Zach's reaction to Bob the Drag Queen calling him a bad actor?
03:51Look, my family's been super supportive.
03:53We've got a chain text. They're all enjoying it.
03:55For me, I'm an avoidant. I'm so not an arguer.
03:59When he said that, Bob is an amazing actor. I grew up with an actor.
04:04Not a good one.
04:06I was trying to argue and keep it in the game, and as soon as it was brought out of the game,
04:10I was just like, oh wow, he took it there.
04:12It just got quiet.
04:15That's the crazy part about watching the show back.
04:18There's big moments I knew would be huge.
04:21Bob and Rob going at it, I knew that was going to be a massive moment.
04:25I honestly didn't even remember getting called misguided.
04:29I'm like, s***, I'm misguided, I guess.
04:32I think you see my reaction. I was just like, what the f***?
04:36Three campers, one tent.
04:38I went camping with a group of friends and caught some of them having a threesome.
04:42They are each in respective relationships and beg me not to say anything.
04:46How do I handle this without causing chaos?
04:49There's so much going on with this.
04:51It just went one direction, then it went another direction.
04:54The first question is, why are they having a threesome in a tent?
04:57If anyone's gone camping, no one's at their best when they're camping.
05:00We're all smelly, we are all gross.
05:03And the fact that they're having a threesome, there's some dirty friends we got.
05:06And they're in relationships, it just keeps getting worse.
05:09Look, if you want to handle this without causing chaos, you just don't speak up.
05:13Let your friends have a threesome in a tent.
05:16I'm not making a move on a camping first date.
05:19You can have a very special moment and maybe make out.
05:24It's the same, you don't have sex on the beach, you don't have sex when you're camping.
05:28That's my stance.
05:30Exclusively mistaken.
05:32After the guy I was seeing made it clear we weren't exclusive, I ended up making out with someone else.
05:38He then accused me of cheating.
05:40Who's to blame for messing up our relationship?
05:42If you make it clear you're not in an exclusive relationship, she had every right to go make out with someone.
05:48It's not cheating.
05:49He wanted to be in an open relationship, he didn't want his girl to be in an open relationship.
05:53And that's not fair.
05:54So I don't think she did anything wrong.
05:56I think the guy saying that's cheating, that's messed up for him to say.
06:01Doesn't sound like they're off to a hot start.
06:04Now it's time for the quickie.
06:06Clock starts now.
06:08Traitor or faithful?
06:09Faithful, easy.
06:10High school musical one or two?
06:13Two for the golf.
06:14Date night in or date night out?
06:15In all day.
06:16Boston Rob or Bob the Drag Queen?
06:18You can't make me choose that.
06:20Down to earth or high maintenance?
06:22Definitely, I'm down to earth.
06:25Hiking or beach day?
06:26Beach day.
06:27Kiss on the first date or wait and feel it out?
06:29Kiss if you got it.
06:30Solo workout or workout buddy?
06:32I always do solo workouts, but workout buddies are so much better.
06:36PDA or keep it private?
06:37You do you.
06:39Break up via text or in person?
06:43Text.
06:44No, I'm kidding.
06:46Thanks so much for watching.
06:47I had a lot of fun.
