Dear Panel,

I love this man -- how do I know if he feels the same way?

Lefty Answers:

He probably doesn't; women usually feel much softer and more cuddly.

Dear Panel,

One is cute; one is ideal. Which should I choose? Why? How do I decide?

Lefty Answers:

Go for the one that retrieves the tennis ball.

Dear Panel,

I like this guy at school, and I think he likes me. How do I get to send him the message that I want this relationship to start happening?

Lefty Answers:

Sit next to him in class and pass notes with that message. Make sure the teacher doesn't spot you.

Dear Panel,

I need help on choosing Richie over Tyreel.

Lefty Answers:

OK. Choose Tyreel.

Dear Panel,

What do boys (14) want in girls these days? Please hurry!

Lefty Answers:

Pretty much same as boys who are 18. And yes, they are in a hurry to get it.

Dear Panel,

I am in high school and I am in love with the lunch lady. I have never had better brownies in my life. She is always so kind, and when she tells me "2.75 please." I melt.

She is only 15 years older than me. Should I go for her?

Lefty Answers:

Are you sure you're in love with her, and not the glamour of her position?

If she were just a nubile cheerleader, would you still melt?

Dear Panel,

I recently kissed my best friend Jeremy, then he went to college. I'm going to see him in 1 week. Should I go there again?

Lefty Answers:

Sure, unless it was your kiss that forced him to leave to go to college.

Dear Panel,

All right, I have a little problem. My boyfriend, well, we are not doing so good. I feel like I'm in the wrong place with him. We don't talk anymore and he has hurt me plenty of times.

But there is this guy I have seen around and we finally ended up talking and we have talked online for a while and last night for over 3 hours. It was late, too. He knows I like him and he knows that I know he likes me. But what should I do?

I like this new guy so much and, well, I have ever since I saw him. My boyfriend, well, we broke up before.

Should I forgive him for everything he has done to hurt me (for example: choose between him and friends, make me cry... etc.!). Please help me..

Lefty Answers:

OK, Lefty's 3 step program:

1. Break up with boyfriend.
2. Go out with new guy.

OOPS, it was easier than I thought.

Dear Panel,

Does poverty of two lovers affect their relationship?

Lefty Answers:

Only if they have to buy their sex from each other.

Dear Panel,

My girlfriend broke up with me when she found out that I was using steroids. Is there any possible way to get her back?

Lefty Answers:

Stop using steroids.

Dear Panel,

I cheated on my boyfriend, and I don't know what to do! Help!

Lefty Answers:

Stop cheating.

Dear Panel,

Me and my boyfriend don't share the same interests. Is there hope for us?

Lefty Answers:

No, especially if he's interested in sex and you're not.

Dear Panel,

I have a lot of fun with many different girls (not just getting it on), but I keep getting drawn into relationships when I'd rather be free.

How do I let girls know this without sounding like either I don't care about them or I'm an a*hole?.

Lefty Answers:

Lie.

Dear Panel,

How can I get a boyfriend? I've never gone out with a guy and I would really like to. Everyone around me thinks I'm soooooo weird because I've never had a boyfriend.

Please, can you help me?

Lefty Answers:

Hey, tell all those people to lighten up. Nobody said those things to me until after I turned 30.

Dear Panel,

Abby and Mark were going out but Tia really liked Mark and Abby thought that Mark liked Tia but Tia new that Mark really liked Abby! But Tia really wanted to go out with Mark. What should Tia do?

Lefty Answers:

Stop watching TV soap operas.

Dear Panel,

I met this guy at my brother's birthday party. He is really sweet.

The only problem is I'm 18 and he is 26. He knows how old I am and it doesn't seem like he has a problem with it.

Do you think a relationship with an age gap like that would work?

And what are some things we can do together? Since I'm not old enough to go to bars.

Lefty Answers:

If you can't think of anything to do with him except go to bars, then the age gap is indeed too great.

Dear Panel,

I am an 18 year-old college freshman at UVA. I am also on their dance team.

I met this guy at work and we instantly clicked. I really like this guy and I want to ask him out but he is 26 years old.

Should I ask him out?

Lefty Answers:

You're old enough to decide if you want to go out with someone.

If you do ask him, I'm sure he'll go out. No guy turns down a dance team member.

Dear Panel,

Hi, I just want to ask why sometimes I don't want to see my crush, especially when I'm around the people I know.

Lefty Answers:

Maybe you're self-centered and shallow, and embarrassed over your choices?

Dear Panel,

What is love?

Lefty Answers:

It's not asking silly questions.
