Dear Panel, Are there newsgroups, or clubs for people who cannot or do not have sex, and still want a loving, caring relationship – even marriage? – Jer Male, age 45, Florida |
|
 |
Sorry, Jer. I wouldn't know any of 'em. |
 |
Ask Hope. |
 |
Have you tried joining a singles group at a local church or synagogue? |

Dear Panel, I fell in love for the first time last year at the age of 20. Now my love and I are in different states, and soon he will be going to Germany. It hurts so bad, and I just want to know if love always feels like this or is it just first love that hurts so very bad? – Brokenhearted Female, age 21, Colorado Springs |
|
 |
Love feels wonderful; it's SEPARATION that hurts. |
 |
Love stinks. The trick is finding someone who won't leave you. |
 |
Love always hurts. But there's some good stuff about it, too. |

Dear Panel, I want to be with my girlfriend of 1 and a half years through college and possibly get married one day. She has said that she feels she wants to be single when we go to college next year. I want to keep her. What can I do? PLEASE help. – Doug R. Male, age 19, New Orleans, Louisiana |
|
 |
Well... it looks like crying about now would be appropriate. |
|
|
If girls were like puppies, I'd say buy a leash. But they're not. |
 |
If it's meant to be, it will happen. Give her time to figure it out. |

Dear Panel, My boyfriend of 6 months lied to me about his education the whole time we were together. Now I think everything he said is a lie. How do I know if he is a compulsive liar? Or should I try to get my trust back? – KLK Female, age 32, USA |
|
|
|
Jeez, before you over-generalize and catastrophize, why not ask him why he was embarrassed to tell you his real education. Maybe he only lied about that one thing.
|
 |
I hate lies, especially when there is no reason to lie. I would try to give him up. |

Dear Panel, I'm dating a guy who is recently divorced about a year. He says he loves me, but I am his first serious relationship post divorce. He still talks to his ex often and takes her out on occasion so they can "talk about their child". Should I give this guy the space he needs and wait for him, or should I hit the road? – TX Girl Female, age 23, Texas |
|
|
|
Try the middle road, and still see other guys.

Dear Panel, I am married and have been having trouble with my marriage. We have been in counseling for a number of months. Recently, I have became close friends with a woman that I worked with. One day we kissed. I feel really guilty about it. I have the urge to tell my wife, but since I want my marriage to succeed and since I don't plan on doing this again, I haven't told her. However, I am getting really upset. I feel guilty all the time and have had trouble sleeping. I really feel that telling her would only hurt her feelings. But now I feel like I have a secret that I have to keep to myself. Should I tell her or keep it to myself? – Mr. MaxMale, age 40, USA |
|
|
|
Don't tell your wife. Don't keep it to yourself. Tell your counselor, privately, and see what s/he suggests about the reasons for your guilt. It goes way beyond the kiss, buddy.

Dear Panel, I just found out Corey, the boy I have a crush on hates me. But that's not the problem. My problem is I'm so upset, my mom can tell something is bothering me. And I don't want to tell her, because no one knows I like Corey. Is my mom supposed to be involved in my romantic business? – Wynne Female, age 14, Nevada |
|
|
|
Moms are never supposed to be involved in romantic business. But somehow they seem to keep doing it.
|
|
|
Only if you want her to be. If not, tell her it's private. She can watch the soaps to get some drama in her life.
|
|
|
Whoa, you have a mom who cares about you enough to ask you what's wrong? I think you better take advantage of that instead of telling us.

Dear Panel, I am in love with a guy who dumped me a month ago. I cry every day about him. I asked him to look me in the eye and tell me he didn't love me, care about me, or want to be with me. He said he couldn't say it cause he won't lie to me. How can I possibly get him back? Please help me! – Jenn C. Female, age 16, USA
|
|
|
|
He's lying about something here. And it seems a waste of time to figure it out.
|
|
|
This is so "One Life To Live". Get over him and live the one life you have. |
 |
You can't get him, and if you try, you're pathetic.

Dear Panel, Is it wrong to kiss someone who is younger then
you? – Casy Male, age 18, North America |

Maybe. |

Dear Panel, I had a sort of romantic relationship with a girl. We ended it, but we are still talking on the phone for about an hour every day. I recently said to her that it would be better if we stopped talking to each other for a while, because I would like to stop having romantic feelings about her (it hurts – she has a new boyfriend now). Then I said it's up to her. She didn't stop. Does she still have feelings for me, and does not want me to forget about her, so that we could start again when she decides to? – Hurting Male, age 24, Europe |
|
|
|
She either feels guilty about dumping you, or simply likes talking to you. But she does NOT want to start up with you again (hint: new boyfriend). And by the way, if YOU want to stop talking to her, why are you leaving it up to her? Develop some backbone, boy!

Dear Panel, My boyfriend and I have only been together for about 2 years. Last week, out of the blue he mentioned to me that he wants me to dress more sexy! @#$%^& Is that bad?? – Monie A. Female, age 23, USA |

|
|
No. |

Dear Panel, My hubby cheated on me while I was 8 months pregnant. I moved to another state and am going to file for divorce. He keeps acting like he wants to try again. Should I give it a try, or is the saying true: "Once a cheater, always a cheater"? Please help me. – Mother of three Female, age 25, Central USA |
|
|
|
The saying isn't true. Three kids need two involved parents. Try it again, with counseling for both of you.
|
 |
Once a cheater with a pregnant mom, always a cheater! |
|
|
A lot of sayings are true and a lot of people can change. Are you going to base your life on a snappy answer? |

Dear Panel, I have met a wonderful girl on the 'Net and we are starting to fall in love. I sent her my pic and she liked it, but I haven't got hers. I think she is 13 and I'm seventeen. What should I do? – Uncertain Male, age 17, USA |
|
|
|
It's great that you've started the "love" process. Really. Now go meet a real live girl who is eligible. |
|
|
Don't fall in love with a 13 year old. |
