O-catures Dec. 2,1988 The News Argus PAGE 9 Dear Diana: I am so much in love with this tall, dark, and oooh, so hand* some young man. It seems as if he notices me, but, he doesn't do things to make me think that he notices me. Help. I want him so bad, but my nerves won't let me tell him this. If I do tell him, he may think that I’m running after him, but on the other hand if I don't, I may lose him. ~ In Love Dear In Love: Being in love is some thing that we all go through, and yet it is also one of the hardest messages some times to convey to a person you really care for. My advice to you is to be strong. As someone once said, "You never know unless you ask and 'no' is better than not knowing. Girlfriend, tell him how you feel, because the curiosity is what will linger with you forever, unless you know. Good luck to you. I know things will work out for the best. - Diana Dear Diana: I'm a troubled male who can't decide which woman to choose. I currently have a girlfriend, but there are so many women to choose from, and I'm so young. Do you think that I should stay tied down to one female when I can have more than one? DEAR DIANA I know you're saying, "Gosh this guy is a dog, but I'm not." I just don’t know if this girl is the girl for me. She’s sweet, she’s gentle and intelligent, but she’s like a lot of sweet, gentle, intelligent women that I'm familiar with. So tell me Diana, Should I let her go? - Unhappy Dear Unhappy: Your problem seems to be a very complicated one. I can advise you, but I can in no way make your final decision. Obviously for you to have chosen this particular girl in the first place there had to be something special about her that caught your eye. What you must remember is that what goes around comes around. If you are planning on cheating on her, then it's best that you explain to her that things aren't going as smoothly as you had intended. That way she may be hurt, but she won't be able to hold the fact over your head that you cheated on her behind her back. Personally, I think you should think about it before you make a rash decision. Good Luck! - Diana Dear Diana: HELP! I am a shy person, and I have trouble meeting nice young men. I am very attractive and needless to say intelligent, but what seems to be the problem? Men don't seem to notice me. Can you give me some tips on how to get their attention to notice me and overcome my shyness so I can find a true love? Thank You. — Shyness Dear Shyness: First of all, some men like the shy type, but never-the-less, if you feel that it is your main problem, then by all means work towards being more of the type who takes the initiative. In order to find a love or a relationship that's last ing, a couple must be compatible. So if there's someone who you are truly inter ested in, then you should first just become good friends with that person, find out what you have in common and if you are indeed compatible, work at it from that standpoint and things will surely smooth themselves out, without great effort. Good luck and keep in touch. - Diana If you need advice from Dear Diana, write to her do Room 313, Hall-Patterson Communications Building. Y's Corner will be a regular feature of The News Argus.
