At the office, we are all reading Jane Buckingham‘s new book The The Modern Girl’s Guide To Sticky Situations. This survival guide is really funny and more importantly, useful! Check out her advice for common ‘sticky’ situations after the jump…

You want to know if it’s OK to start calling him your boyfriend, but you don’t want to seem needy or clingy…

ADVICE: If you have been dating for a while, he’s probably got the same question on his mind. Ask him for what you want in a lighthearted way “so, are we going steady or what?”

You don’t know anyone at a party…

ADVICE: Initiate conversations. Watch for a group of three or four who aren’t standing in a tight circle. Smile and keep your body language open.

You love heels, but they kill your feet. Also, you can’t walk in them…

ADVICE: The more you wear heels, the sooner you’ll be comfortable in them. Get comfort brands like Aerosols and Easy spirit.
