Dear Panel,

Why do guys say they love you?

– Jocelyn Baby Face

Female, age 15, USA

Jayne

Because they want some.

Buddy

We either mean it, or want you to think we do.

Lefty

Whenever they say that to me, I try to move on down the road. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

You won't know it until it's gone, and you're going through withdrawal.

Dear Panel,

I want to know what love really is. So I guess the question is "what is love?"

– Texas Joe

Love is whatever you make it. It's the strongest feeling you can have for someone (other than hate maybe). Love can mean different things to different people.

When you feel love, you'll know it.

 

Jayne

Love is like a little bird that spreads his little wings to fly.

He jumps out of his nest to take flight, and then he falls right on his freaking face.

Dear Panel,

How can I prove to my girlfriend that I love her??

I've tried heaps of things, but none have worked. I have got 11 days to show her!!

I don't have a lot of money so I can't buy her anything!! Can you please help me??

You shouldn't have to prove your love.

Linda

I'll bet we're now past your 11 day limit.

Hope you thought of something. I, myself, wouldn't be able to take the performance anxiety.

Dear Panel,

How do you put away or supress your partner's past sex life?

Or does it just eat at me until I can't take it, or what? Is there an answer..???

– Mr. Johnson

Male, age 20, USA

Lefty

Tell us more about her past sex life. In detail.

 

Linda

Unless your partner has been a prostitute, it shouldn't be too hard.

Ask him/her not to tell you any more, don't ask any more, and realize that he/she, like most people, had a life before they met you.

 

Jayne

You're a male...right?

 

Jeannie

Why would you want to supress it? Put it to good use!

Realize that YOU are gaining the benefits of it and get over yourself.

Dear Panel,

What are some dating customs of the United States?

– Monkey

Lefty
Mr. Sensitive Fill out my survey about dating customs and we'll publish the results.

At age 14, the custom is to assume that everyone else in the world has it more together than you.

Dear Panel,

I am a 26 year-old female. Born in July (Cancer). Very family person and very romantic. I work with music. Love to inspire people with my work. Very friendly. Sometimes too friendly. But hey, it's OK. Realistic....talented with what I work. People say I have the charisma. Quick minded.

He is 28 years old (Capricorn in horoscope) very nice guy. He has a big heart. Very realistic and easy to talk to. Good listener. Funny. Talented. Creative.

I met him on the ‘Net. We started chatting. Met every night. Realised how similar we were, and how many things we have in common. He sent me vibes that he actually liked me. We were on the phone and (BAM) since then we've been together. We are so much in love, IT'S CRAZY!!!

I know that he is the one. Our families know about our relationship. He sent me pic and you know what? He is very cute. He got mine too, so we were very cool about everything.

We keep in touch every single day and we're falling in love every single day. The strange part is that We feel each other. We can't lie to each other. You know why?

Because we read our minds. I know what he is thinking and he knows what I'm thinking. Maybe its not all the time, but it's almost all the time. I feel his presents. Whenever I call his name, he can hear me. I hear him every time he says my name.

The beginning was like I thought that I was making up stories in my head. So what we did was that we had a quiz while we were chatting and when we were on the phone. We started asking question and sometimes SAID NOTHING for like 2 minutes – and then either I told him what he was thinking during that time or he did – and you know what? I guessed everytime. So did he.

Our love is becoming bigger and stronger. I know we have something really strong between us. We were born to be together.

If we can feel each other this much and read each other’s mind ARE WE TELEPATHY? I know I am one of.

Thank you so much for your time. All the best.

If you're really telepathic, can you tell what I am thinking right now about your silly question?

Mo

You may be telepathic, but I'm not, because I didn't understand a word of this!

 

Jayne

Wow, this was the funniest thing that I've read in a long time. Keep it coming.

Dear Panel,

How come you don't have a poll about who's the coolest panelist?

Or like awards for the Panelists with different categories?

I think as a regular of this site, I would enjoy that.

– Just Asking

Female, age 22, USA

Linda

Mostly because we'd all be consumed with petty jealousy and our therapy bills would rise astronomically...

...and Mr. Sensitive would rig the results, anyway.

 

Charlie

I think it's a great idea...Mr. Sensitive? I'd also be in favor of a ratings system by the audience on our answers.

 

Jayne

I kinda think that would be cool too...except it would give me flashbacks from high school and the more popular Panelists wouldn't eat lunch with me.

 

Alicia

Please! I would hands down take every category. We don't want to make anybody feel bad!

 

Lefty

I don't know about other panelist opinions, but

  1. I would lose, and
  2. it's too much work for Mr. (Dr.) Sensitive.

 

Jeannie

It would depress the rest of us to know that Lefty got all the awards. :)
