Q

Q. I have stretch
marks on my body,
and it makes me really uncomfortable
while I am changing
clothes in front of my
boyfriend. How do I
tell my boyfriend to
not watch me while I
change?

A. I hate to break it you, but hav-

ing your guy always turn around
or never look at you while you are
changing is probably getting old
and probably makes him think
that he’s shallow if he ever saw
your marks. Most guys don’t care
for detail, all they see is a hot guy
who is down in his underwear in
front of him. If he really did mind
it, he wouldn’t be with you.

My BF watches porn,
which I’m okay with, but
he favors porn with
built, skater-type,
blondes. I’m average,
preppy, and burnette.
What does this mean?
A. All it means is he is dating
a preppy, average, guy. If you
were a built, skating guy, I have
a hunch you boyfriend would
tend to watch porn featuring
what you look like. It is natural
for men to fantisize about having what they don’t already have
There are some guys are attracted to specific physical characteristics in men, but in reality, most
guys have one type and that type
is hot. I have no doubt your boyfriend thinks you are hot. Now,
here’s one more tip for how to
fell less insecure: Quite looking
at your boyfriend’s browsing
history, you snoop.

Q. My boyfriend and
I have been dating
for a year now, yet
I haven’t met anybody important in his
life—not his family..
nobody. Is he hiding
something and how
can I find out.
A. Either he is hiding you from
Does This Make
You Hot!

them, or them from you. He probably is not sure about how each
of you will react to one another.
That is a sign that he really cares
for you and wants to make sure
nothing screws it up. Try to have
a party and suggest that you will
invite your friends and he do the
same. Maybe then he will feel
more comfortable about who he
wants you to meet.

Q. Sometimes my guy
goes out to bars with
guys that he works
with. Knowing that
the guys he hangs
out with are gay, I
trust him but not

them. They are extremely flirty toward
him Should I be
worried?

reers but not sexually
appealing. I really
want the whole package but can’tseem to
find it. Am I being to
picky?

A. No matter how trustworthy

your boyfriend is, if you mix alcohol and a fiirty coworker enough
times, something bad will eventually happen. The key to staying faithful isn’t simply to have
willpower, but to spot situations
that could lead up to cheating.
Regardless, don’t demand that
he should not hang out with them
anymore. Talk to him about how it
makes you feel, but he probably
knows.

Q. I met a man on
OkCupid six months
ago, and we really hit
it off. We talk every
day but have never
met in person. We’ll
make plans, but he
always cancels last
minute or says he’s
too tired from work.
Should I give him an
ultimatun meet me
in person or we’re
done?
A. It could be a number of

things. He could scared, lying to
you about his profile, or married.
Usually if a guy is on those dating sites, it means he is looking
to meet people. It seems that he
is stringing you along. Be honest
and tell hm that you are ready to
meet. Be ready for you answer
and your next step.

Q. I meet a lot of
guys, but they all
seem to have qualities that turn me off.
They are either really
good-looking and are
struggling professionally or extremely successful in their ca106

A. Wanting a guy who is stable

and good looking is not picky at
all—in fact, it’s pretty normal. Try
to set the bar lower than untameable for guys to reach. As long as
a guy has the basic qualities you
want, then he is a good guy to get
to know.

Q. People keep telling
me that I’m intimidating to guys. What
does that mean? I’m
extremely ambitious
at work—could that
be a problem?
A. It means that your friends are

not telling you what the real issue
is. Maybe you constantly talk
about your job when you go out
with guys. In that case. they’re
not intimidated. They are just
bored. Really sit down with your
friends and ask them what their
definition of intimidating means.
As for the guy, if you are ambitious out your career don’t waste
your time on him

Q. He says he wants
a break but says he
hasn’t met someone
new. What is going
on?
A. He’s telling the truth, but that

doesn’t mean things are okay.
For starters, he may be wondering whether your relationship has
run it’s course. So he’s attempting to see what else is out there,
while keeping the option of you
two open. If he can’t give a reason, make it permanent break.
