n his new film Kickin' It Old Skool, Jamie Kennedy (of Scream, Malibu's Most Wanted and MTV's Jamie Kennedy Experiment) plays a dude who had a freak break dancing accident back in 1986 and wakes up to a completely different world. In addition to mastering innovations like the internet, new dance moves and a whole lotta other things he missed during the past 20 years, he now has to try and win back his crush from his grade school nemesis. Since this Dr. Boyreally must have some serious skills, we had five ELLEgirl readers pose questions to Jamie on their most troubling love life dilemmas. Read on to get the guy's perspective.

My boyfriend is really into MySpace and I just logged in to spy and his profile says SINGLE! We've been together nearly a year, do you think maybe he hasn't updated his page or is something going on? It also says he's 18 and he's really 17. - Kimmy, 15, Portland, OR
Hahaha, good ole MySpace....It is the death of all relationships. Every girl freaks over MYSPACE. It's the best place to flirt. Your boyfriend didn't forget to update his profile; he wants girls to think he's single. It says he's 18 because he wants older girls to think he's legal. Sorry babe. But get a profile on FACEBOOK and flirt back.
My boyfriend moved away for college and while things are going
okay, I don't know how long I can deal with a long-distance relationship.
Do you think we should really try and make it work, or should we take
some time apart? - Bianca, 16, Calabasas, CA
You should take time apart. A long distance relationship is hard at any age, but in college it's even harder. You're young. Enjoy your time in college. Keep your options open, you got your whole life for relationships. PARTTTYYYY.
There's a guy in one of my classes who I've had a crush on for a while and finally I've infiltrated his group of friends. I don't think he looks at me as a potential girlfriend, but we have so much in common I think we'd be a great couple. What can I do to make him see me differently? - Melanie, 17, Acron, OH

Stalk him! Or you could wear some knee high boots and start texting him. He'll be intrigued by your sexy attire, and then if you hit him with a few "hi's" on text, you can gauge his interest without putting yourself out there too much. Then at one point you can write something really provocative. And if he takes it the wrong way, you can just tell him "sorry it got lost in textlation."
This boy I like confided in me that him and his friends are going to cheat on a test. I know I'm going to sound like a goody goody, but our tests are graded on a curve and normally I'd tell the teacher, but I really, really don't want him to get in trouble. Do you think I should rat him out anonymously or just let it go? - Britt, 16, San Diego, CA
Let it go and hope he's a good cheater so you can keep the curve high. Telling on him is only going to make your life miserable for the rest of the school year. Just don't sit near [him] when he cheats so they don't think your involved, and remember, nobody likes a rat.
My best friend and I have been after the same dude for all of high school and I just found out he likes me. I'm so psyched but also feel kinda bad. Can I go for it and risk my friend being jealous or am I screwed? - Jenn, 18, Waterford, CT
You're definitely screwed, but there are things you can do to have your cake and eat it too, if you're crafty about it. You can hang out with the guy a couple times on the sneak tip, without your girl knowing. If you and the guy don't hit it off, no harm, no foul. Your friend won't ever know and you tried the guy and didn't like it. But if you and the guy start to like each other, that could get a little sticky, because you're then stuck with a jealous friend who thinks you're picking the guy over her. Let's face it, nobody likes to be rejected, or worse--the third wheel. Just remember guys come and go, but good girlfriends are hard to come by. Choose carefully.
