Dear Panel,

Is it natural to fall in love with your same gender? I need your help.

Sure, it's natural. But personally, I'd try to fall for one person, not the whole gender.

Less confusing that way.

 

If you're gay, it is the most natural thing.

Is it natural? Yes. Is it going to be accepted by friends, family, church, and the rest of the outside world? Who knows?

Dear Panel,

Why would my boyfriend only have sex with me once a month?

Charlie

He has twenty-nine other girlfriends. Just a theory.

 

Because he's backwards. It's usually EXCEPT once a month.

Dear Panel,

My girlfriend is 16 years old and still a virgin. I have tried to have sex with her but to no avail. She is afraid of my penis size (7"). She thinks it will ruin her insides. What should I do?

What does she think about your tongue?

 

Not have sex with her. No means no. Also, 16 means statutory rape.

Dear Panel,

Do I have to tell a guy how I feel or can I let a relationship evolve on its own? Can we avoid talking about our feelings?

Jeannie

 

Of course you can avoid talking about your feelings! There's always the weather to discuss.

 

Alicia

Communication can be verbal or non-verbal, talking is not necessary

If you find his tongue down your throat, it probably means you have already evolved.

Dear Panel,

I always think that I am too skinny for boys to be attracted to me.

I've heard that there is someone for everyone; is that true?

There's plenty of boys who like skinny girls.

There are even more who like girls who feel good about themselves.

 

Yes. Many men actually prefer skinny women. The ones who are are only attracted to busty Playboy Playmate types you don't want anyway. They're stuck in a stage of arrested development, and had weird relationships with their mothers.

Also, be sure to go to college. You will gain 15 pounds your freshman year.

Dear Panel,

If I'm a freshman, is it OK for me to date a senior?

And how do I know if he likes me or if he just wants a piece?

Jody

Probably not, and you don't.

All boys want a piece. It doesn't matter what year they are.

It's totally OK to date a senior — just be careful

Its okay to date him, but if he tries to go further than just a kiss on your first date, he just wants a piece.

Dear Panel,

I was over at a friend's when I first met him. He was perfect. We went out for two hours, then I dumped him for another.

One week later, I asked him back out, then dumped him within a week.

I know that I lost him, but how can I try to get him back?

Hey, share the wealth.

There's a lot of other guys out there waiting to be continually dumped by you.

 

If you've lost him, you can't get him back. Gone is gone. Say bahbye.

And while we're at it, you might want to re-evaluate your courtship rituals. Generally, dumping people is not a good recipe for winning them over. My big advice: Think before you dump.

Dear Panel,

Hi, I'm a 20 year old male and I have been liking this particular girl. However, I don't think she likes me because she avoids talking to me and refuses to go out with me by giving all kinds of excuses.

What should i do? Should I keep on calling her or just forget about her?

 

Just out of curiosity, what kind of sign would you accept to indicate that you don't have a chance with her?

Dear Panel,

I have been wanting to ask this girl out, but I'm not sure if she likes me or not.

But she keeps telling me she's looking for a man. Is that some type of hint?

-- confussed [male/16/USA]

Depends. Are you?
Yes, it's some type of hint. Maybe a man would ask her out.
PiKK

And maybe her definition of a MAN is a guy who's learned to spell by [age] 16.
