Dear Panel,

I am in a situation where I have lost my man.

I was wondering how I can get him back?

Be sure you need him back, first.

 

Linda

Try calling "Here, buddy, buddy!!" Open a beer can and see if he comes back then.

If not, give up and find yourself a new one.

Dear Panel,

There's this guy I went out with and on our date he told me he is not ready for a relationship. I'm fine with that because at least he was honest.

The problem is he gets insanely jealous if I go out with someone else even if it's a female friend.

Should I wait around while he decides he wants relationship, or should I continue to go out with others?

– Jen

Female, age 21, USA

Linda

He's right. He's not ready for a relationship. Move on.

Jayne

He wants to have his cake and eat it, too. Don't let him get away with it.

Dear Panel,

I am in love with boyfriend whom I been dating for 2 years.

I just found out about some of his new and old female friends and he acting as if he is hiding something. I have a real good feeling that there is an intimacy with the friends and his self.

I need advice on how to stop the pain in my heart, soul, and the pid of stomache.

– Hotangel

Linda

Ask him if he's involved with anyone else.

If he says, "Yes," break up.

If he says, "No" and you believe him, then you'll be fine.

If he says, "No" and you don't trust him, you have to break up. A relationship doesn't work without trust.

Dear Panel,

I am .. a 20 year old college student, the only girl, the youngest child.

My fiancé Tom is a 27 year old male who just got out of jail 4-5 months ago who is trying to get back on his feet. He's looking for a job and wants to go back to school.

My father is a pain. He doesn't like my fiancé because he isn't in college and claims that he is trying ot mess up my life. He doesn't want us to be together and gives us both a hard time.

My fiancé and I have been going out for a little over a year. We are planning on getting married. We were both doing fine finacially until he was falsely accused of drug possession. He spent 2-3 months in jail and is now out trying to get back on his feet.

I wanted to have a nice family wedding but it doesn't look that way. We planned to get married next week without anyone knowing about it. I don't care anymore. My father is giving us a hard time but I assume that when we go through it there is nothing that can be done afterwards.

Will this relationship work?

Probably not.

 

Jayne
Yes, if you both want it to work it.

 

Saibhin
No.

 

Linda
Basically, you're acting like an immature kid. If you want to get married, be mature about it and WAIT until it looks more solid.

Dear Panel,

Well, my boyfriend wants to have sex.

I told I have to think about it. I'm really scared because i have two different sized breasts. I don't want him to think I'm weird and break up with me.

Why are my breasts like this?

– Confused48603

Female, age 15, USA

Lefty

Why don't you wait to have sex until either your breasts are the same size, or you can worry about more important consequences of the act?

 

Reader

You're 15 – you would be a freak if your breasts were completely symmetrical.

22 and two different breast sizes!

Dear Panel,

I am in love with a boy named Chris. We share the same interests but he is two years older than me. He throws subtle hints like sitting next to me all the time and waiting for me.

We were playing truth or dare and I was asked who I liked. When I said “no one”, he pouted and asked why not him.

Is he kidding? Should I tell him how I feel? Please help.

– Vero

Linda

This is what's known as a mating dance.

He doesn't want to make himself vulnerable by admitting how much he likes you, so he dances around, waiting for a signal from you.

Guys are dense. Spell it out for him.

 

Jayne

Do you want me to pass him a note at fifth period?

Dear Panel,

I broke up with my boyfriend on October.

Then he started dating another girl but in November he turned back to me saying he was very sorry and that he wanted to be my boyfriend again. I said that I still loved him but as we were going on vacations on December we wouldn't be able to see each other so there was no sense in starting in that date; so we agreed to start after vacations (in February).

But in January I met another guy and I thought I had forgot about my ex so we started dating and he became my boyfriend. When we had almost 10 days as a couple, my ex appeared and I told him about my new boyfriend. He told me to please think about what was I doing.

Now I broke up with my new boyfriend only because the first one confused me. Now I don't know which one I love more and I don't want to choose wrong.

What does my heart want? I really don't know. Please help me!!!

– Caro

Lefty

Fortunately, I know what your 14 year-old heart wants. It wants to date more than your ex-boyfriend. Do it.

 

Roopz

Ignore your old boyfriend – rehashed relationships rarely work!

Dear Panel,

I am in love with this guy, he is a "Leo" a very confident guy with different sets of thinking, very funny, charming, he is the guy that most girls would like to get, but as for me I didn't know he's that good so I am totally honest with him talking about everything, i am a "Scorpio" and I can somehow sense that he likes me too.

But to like him I know I will have to give up my religion/faith. What should I do?

– Lee

Female, age 17, Singapore

Jayne

Don't give up your faith for some guy.

Lefty

Does giving up your religion mean losing your faith in horoscopes?

Dear Panel,

Hi – my girlfriend and I were together for about 11 months and we broke up. I don't know why, either.

The wierdest thing is when ever i did anything wrong she would alway get mad, but when ever she does something wrong she never admits it and expects me not to get mad.

What do I do?

– Jonathan

Male, age 16, from "mountains"

Lefty

Women. Who can figure?

Go on to the next one and don't tell her how crazy the last one was.

Dear Panel,

If I am 18 and my girlfriend is 16, would that be considered statutory rape?

– Brian

Male, age 18, Florida, USA

Cyndi

Only if you teach her naughty things.

 

Webmistress Cynth

No. In Florida, a person under the age of 24 can legally have sex with anyone who is at least 16.

Dear Panel,

I want to know how do you do the french kiss and how long do you have to kiss?

I mean “average”, because when I kiss with a boy I get very quick bored after 10 seconds.

Lots of greetings,

– me Leo

Female, age 15, The Netherlands

Lefty

My french kissing is not average. But I'd say 10 seconds is plenty long.

Jess

If you get bored, you're kissing the wrong guy.
