Dear Panel,

I am now in a year long relationship. I love her very much.

The problem is I still want to have sex with other women. I want to be able to date other women but I don't want to lose the one I got now.

What do I do?

Alicia

Love only her or lose her. No other way around it.

Lefty

Only a selfish girlfriend would object to your needs. Dump her.

The only thing wrong with you is that you think you need a man to be a complete woman.

Dear Panel,

We are a couple debating on whether or not to live together. What advice can you give on deciding that?

Lefty

Do a cost benefit analysis followed by a subjective NPV rating.

 

 

Charlie

Rather than agonize about living together, agonize about marrying each other.

If that seems hard, then forget the whole thing.

Dear Panel,

How can I make all the boys to love me???

-- tha bejb, age 15, Sweden

Alicia

Most boys are dumb. You really don't want ALL of them to love you.

 

Linda

You can try being all things to all people. Then all the boys will love you, but there will be no "You" there.

Don't do it. Be yourself, try finding one boy to love you. That's all that's necessary anyway.

Dear Panel,

Hey there. I'm 18, and am very interested in a this girl that I am friends with. I want to date her, but I have a few small problems.

She's 21 and she's pregnant with her ex's child. I really like her, and have been good friends with her for a long time.

Should I pursue her or shouldn't I?

-- sandmonkey

Haven't you read my story?
What's the problem? Go ahead, especially if your idea of romance includes watching a new mom spending a lot of time sitting around watching a baby sleep and cry and coo.
Definitely go for her. There is nothing more romantic than baby vomit and dirty diapers on a first date. Especially when the kid isn't yours.

Dear Panel,

I am really good friends with this girl. For over a year now I have fallen totally in love with her. I'm pretty sure she feels the same about me, but not 100%.

My problem is that this girl is my bestfriend's girlfriend of four years. How can I aproach her without ruining a friendship?

Dear Panel,

I am 27 years old and I still live with my parents.

I have been with my fiancé for 7 years and I love him dearly but he just won't grow up and be responsible for himself which puts my life on hold.

How do I make him grow up so that we can finally get married and move on with our life together?

Lefty

Have your boyfriend move in with your parents and you can both grow up together.
Linda

Whoa, babe! Time out.

You're using this guy as an excuse for not taking control of your life and living it.

Your life is on hold because of you, not him. Why don't you move out from your parents' house (which a good start in the growing up department), make some choices and decisions in your life, and see what happens with the fiancé?

Dear Panel,

I am in love with a friend who is married.

Can I still tell him I love him?

Lefty

Yes, as soon as he gets divorced.
Linda  

Imagine the possibilities:

A) You tell him, he says "that's nice", you feel like a fool.

B) You tell him, he says, "then we can't be friends" and you lose a friend.

C) You tell him, he has an affair with you, you feel like a dirty used rag.

D) You tell him, he dumps his wife for you, and now you're with a guy whose commitments are proven to be very shaky.

Is this the kind of guy you want?

Dear Panel,

I like this boy and I told him that I like him, but he told me that he doesn't want to get in a relationship because he is leaving in August.

Also, it seems like he likes me because he always wanting me to call him and usually inviting me places. But all he tells people is that we are just friends.

How I can I tell if he likes me and if he's lying to me?

-- someone

Lefty

If he's leaving, it doesn't really matter.

Dear Panel,

My boyfriend just broke up with me because of a stupid fight about who was going over to who's house. We have been going out for 13 months.

Is this a stupid reason to break up?

I love him with all of my heart. Do you think that he will take me back?

Stupid reason? Depends; is his house in the same country as yours?
 

You broke up because there are power and control issues between the two of you.

He might take you back, especially if you surrender.

Do you want to live life like this?

Dear Panel,

If he says he loves me and then he could not get out of his present relationship with a girl he doesn't really love, is he sincere with me or just trying to fool me?

Lefty  

I think you've already figured this one out.

 

He's probably sincere with you, and fooling himself.

Say good bye.

Dear Panel,

I am a 19 year old male; she is a 15 year old female. I like her and she likes me.

But I have been nervous about what I should do: ask her out or just stay friends.

Then one day I overheard her mother telling her friend that she wishes I would date her.

Should I, or shouldn't I?

Lefty What the heck. Ask her mother out already.

You are so in...what are you waiting for?
