Dear Panel,
How do I get a certain

Tell her that you're certain you like her. Or at least
pretty sure.
|
|
|
You have to do that certain thing that she likes...
|
|

|
Well, her knowing your name is a start - and the only
way to do that?!?
Go and TALK to her!!! She can't be interested unless
you get to know her...

Dear Panel,
I am a female, age 15,
and I am confused.
Bob and Joe (names changed),
are both male, one is 13 (Joe), one is 15 (Bob)
other persons include: Sarah, who is one of my best friends,
Jessica, who is my other best friend, and Sophie, who
is Joe's sister.
I've been going out with
Joe for 9 months now, and I still like him a lot, but
not quite as much as before, and we don't see each other
very often anymore because were both in different schools,
and things just haven't been working very well lately.
He says things will change soon though, once were both
not so busy. I've gotten to know his family really well,
and I have become good friends with his older sister,
Sophie.
But now this guy that I
have liked for more than 2 years now, just told me that
he likes me and he wants to go out with me. He thought
I had broken up with Joe, because there were rumors going
around about it. So now Bob has told me this and said
that he was sorry when I explained that I still had a
boyfriend, but I told him I still do like him, and that
I've liked him for more than 2 years.
But there's more to it.
My best friend Sarah likes Bob now too, but she knows
I've liked him for a long time, but there are so many
other people that would be mad, because a lot of people
like Joe. And my other best friend, Jessica, is good friends
with Joe, so she would be mad at me if I dumped Joe for
another guy, as well as Joe's whole family, and practically
everyone in my school because we've been known as the
"best couple" in the high school.
So everyone has their hearts
set on our relationship.
Who should I pick? and
what do I need to think about before deciding?

What the hell's going on in this letter? Lefty, I think
you should handle this.
|
 |
OK.
Tell everyone that you're only 15, and that 15 year-old
rules say that you can see different boys on different
days of the week.
|
 |
You're 15, too young to settle down. You need to choose
to do what YOU want to do.
|
|
|
Dating someone because his parents want you to is ridiculous,
as is dating someone because everyone thinks you are a
happy couple. Listen to your heart and if your friends
really are true friends, they'll support you.

Dear Panel,
I am in the army. Married
for the third time and it doesn't seem to be working.
I have 2 boys by 2 women. I work an average of 14-16 hours
a day.
I met a women, also in
the army, she is a lot younger than me. very athletic
and full of energy. We started to talk and things just
seemed to be perfect in our discussions. I could tell
her anything, we have no secrets between each other and
we can talk about anything.
Should I continue this
relationship and not try to salvage my marriage?

Dear Panel,
Well there's this boy at
school that I really like and I know if I want him I can
probably have him, but I'm just afraid or shy to tell
him let alone talk to him.
Usually I'm not like this
but for some reason I'm really having a hard time panel.
Do you think you can help
me?
Female, age 17, Illinois
|
 |
No.
|
|

|
Well, you could do what I do and just pine away after
him and not do anything.
Of course, I'm lonely and alone.

Dear Panel,
Hi. My name is Krystal.
I have a question for you.
I'm in a long-distance
relationship right now. He won't tell me how he feels
about everything we've been through.
What should I do? I really
love him.
- Krystal
Female, age 16
|
 |
Why do you love him if he doesn't love you enough to
share his feelings?
|
|
|
If he tells you, are you not in a long distance relationship
anymore? If he doesn't tell you how he feels, do you not
love him anymore?
My question to you is, why do you want to know?

Dear Panel,
OK so I'm going out with
this fellow for about 3 months now and still he has not
tried anything at all.
Is it that he does not
like me in that kind of way or what?
Put it this way: I have
done more on a one night stand than with him.
- Female, age 19, Ireland
|
 |
Well, he must like you in some kind of way, that's a
long one night stand.
|
 |
Gee - did you ever think maybe he likes you way more
than the jerks you've had one night stands with? Maybe
he respects you, maybe he's shy. It's possible he only
wants to be friends. Maybe you two should talk?

Dear Panel,
Here's my predicament.
My boyfriend of ten months, with whom I am very much in
love, recently broke up with me.
Its my own fault, really.
I'm not much of a drinker and up to a short while ago
I had never been drunk. However, I recently went to a
party, and got drunk for the first time ever. I kissed
another guy at the party. I was very upset about it the
next day and I immediately told my guy.
He broke up with me, saying
that his lack of feeling about it confirmed doubts he
had had about the relationship. However, he wanted us
to remain the best of friends. He also told me he was
still attracted to me, citing it as a reason why he was
really confused as to why he didn't feel what he "should"
towards me.
Do you think theres
any likelihood we could get back together, and if so,
how would I go about getting him back?

Why do you want him back, exactly?
|
 |
He is attracted to you. He likes you enough to remain
the best of friends. What, pray tell, does he think he
"should" feel toward you?
Ask him. If he can't give you a straight answer, my
guess is he is interested in someone else or wants to
date a totally different type of person (i.e., gender,
age, etc.)

Dear Panel,
I am a teenage girl in
the search for a new boyfriend after having just moved
half way across the USA. I am fairly shy asking boys out.
I am really in love with
two guys. One is really sweet and I think he might like
me, but he might be a little too sweet.
The other is a popular
boy who is a lot like me but I think he might be too popular
to like me more than a friend.
There is a boy named Mike
who really likes me he always asks me to dance at dances
and tells me I look good, but I don't love him but I love
the attention he gives me.
Who should I ask out, and
how should I do so?

- Flip a coin to pick one.
- Ask him out.
- Repeat
You're old enough to figure out that you can go out with
someone without loving him exclusively on the first date.

I think real issue here is not who you should ask out,
but why you feel you need a boyfriend ....more

Dear Panel,
I have known this girl
for one and a half years. She has been the girlfriend
of a guy, that I also know, for about a year. We have
been ordinary friends who did not meet frequently until
recently.
Now, her boyfriend is away
for a vacation (2 weeks) and I have the chance to spend
some time with the girl. I begin to find myself thinking
of her all the time... She is very good to me, yet I know
that she is still in a good relationship with her boyfriend
However, it is clear that she is not "crazy"
for him in any way.
How could I pursue further
now? Her boyfriend is really holding me back. On the one
hand, I find it hard to suppress my feelings; on the other
hand, if I pursue, I risk losing her as a friend, and
being an "intruder" in the eyes of every friend
around us.
Please help me out!
