Dear Panel,

My partner keeps fighting, but each time it gets more and more verbally violent. I dread to think what the next fight will be like.

What can I say or do to stop him losing his temper and start talking?

– Worried

Female, age 21, Australia

When the words get violent, leave the room. Refuse to listen until he speaks calmly. Think about whether this is the right partner for you.

Come on, what's the point of being with a psycho?

You want to get him to "talk"? Please.

Dear Panel,

I have someone in my class that I like a lot! He often looks at me, talk to me and even call me one time: he is very very nice to me.

How could I know what he is thinking about me? Does he feel the same? Without asking him!

– Me

You do know: he likes you. Why don't you talk to him, and call him? Things will go much faster.

Dear Panel,

I am attracted to the married man down the street and I am also married myself, happily in fact.

He has made it clear that he is unhappy in his marriage and we had sex the other day. I want to continue this physical relationship without strings attached. He has a history of romantic feelings attached to these physical relationships.

Do I need to worry that one or both of us will develop feelings or that this could be a damaging situation?

– DEJELLIOTT

Female, age 28, USA

You mean, more damaging that married people having sex with people other than their respective spouses?

1. Congratulations! People who only care for themselves NEVER have to worry about developing feelings for others.

2. Damaging situation? Are you SERIOUS? Were you THERE when you got married?

Your poor husband; you are what we call a BAD wife.

Dear Panel,

My boyfriend who is 18 wrote me a poem and told me that he loved me.

Should I ask him if it was just a poem or if he really does love me?

– Jazz

If you want to. But he'll probably get annoyed. Guys have funny ways of showing their love – it's easier than saying it.

Actions say more than words – pay attention to his actions.

Write him:

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
You wrote me a poem,
Is it really true?

Dear Panel,

I have a boyfriend who is 1 year and 6 months younger than me. I don't want to have sex with him, but what is the legal sex thing in Pennsylvania?

I'm just curious becuse in other states, it's 16 and younger OR older! I just turned 17, and he will be 16 in October.

Can we still "just date"? Is that possible?

I don't want to have sex with him because I don't believe in sex before marriage, but I wanna know if we can still date!

Please get back to me on this!!!

– Confused

Female; age 17; Pennsylvania, USA

Yes, you can date, and no, you don't have to have sex with him, in any state.

You can still date. And even if you do have sex, no one's going to go gunning after a 17 year old girl who does it with a 16 year old guy.

The age of consent in Pennsylvania is 16.

Dating him is legal; having sex with him while he's 15 and you're 17 is not legal.

Dear Panel,

If a girl says:

"Although I've had a lot of fun going places with you, I think we should just be friends. It's nothing personal against you, it's just that I really don't have time to make a commitment with someone right now. I hope you understand and that we can still be friends. "

Does that mean that she has another boyfriend? Doesn't like me anymore? Or she realy doesn't have time?

Dear Panel,

My girlfriend keeps saying that I check out other girls in shopping centres, streets, other cars, everywhere we go, and even on TV and magizines.

We always end up fighting about it. The problem is that I don't check out other girls and I tell her that all the time, which she doesn't believe. For example, if I were walking in a shopping centre and was looking straight ahead, she would ask me "What are you looking at? Why are you looking there? And for how long?" when I was simply looking straight ahead at nothing she would pick a girl out of the crowd and question me about her.

I feel uncomfortable when I go out with her, and often keep my head down to the ground. I've tried everything I can to try to get her to stop it, but I can't.

Dear Panel,

I really wanna know!

I like a girl and she knows it, too. In past weeks I've been calling her up every single day. I think she is happy to talk with me, too!

But the only thing is, she has a boyfriend. I talked to my friend about it, and he told me to stop calling her, to make her worried.

So I did – I didn't call her any more – then she called me and asked "Are you mad at me or something?"

I said "No, why should I?" and just talked for few minutes. We usually talk more than an hour on the phone each day.

I am really worried about what I am doing. Is it right? Or not right? Should I keep doing this? Or not?

Pretty please, Help Me Out!! =(

Maybe she is just looking for a friend.

You should talk to her about your feelings.

Dear Panel,

A girl at work has been flirting with me for about four months, smiling and giving me hot looks. I have been kind of resistant, me and her living in different cities, but I finally decided to ask her out.

She was very happy when I asked but said she has a boyfriend.

Can you explain why she is behaving in this way? She is not an outgoing person flirting with everybody, but rather shy, and so am I. Maybe that's way I waited so long.

Dear Panel,

My boyfriend just broke up with me, and before this occurred he thought it was a good idea to work on our friendship. Should I have listened? Now I'm miserable.

Also, we shared an intimate night together before he broke up with me. Is it true that two people can still be physically attracted although their feelings have changed?

By the way, our relationship has been a long distance relationship for about 1 1/2 years.
