Dear Colleen Dear Colleen: 1 work in a small office with t other girls. We all get along well and are good friend*. Yecterday our boa informed us he has to cut expenses and one of us will have to go. He said for us to decide which one. We all need the job or we wouldn't be working so how can we decide? Which One Dear Which One: Your boss is being unfair in leaving the decision to you 3 girls. Tell him what you have just told me above and tell him he will have to make the decision. Dear Colleen: I've got something that's been bothering me for a little while. I don't like to complain, but my son and daughter visit me once-a month and act like I'm an invalid while they are here. They seem to think I can't do anything for my self and won't even let me walk across the room alone. I am 82 years old and have been alone since my wife died 10 years ago. I manage just fine every day by myself. They don't worry about me the rest of the month so why is it on that one day when come to visit I suddenly become an invalid? They don't live too far away and could visit more often if they wanted to check on me. I want them to visit but not under the same circum stances they have been. I cannot enjoy them when all they're interested in is cleaning house, checking the plumbing, cooking a good meal and giving me a check up. What can I do? Not An Invalid Dear Not An Invalid: The most important thing you can do is tell your son and daughter just exactly how you feel. Let them know when they visit, you will do for your self as you do each and every day. Tell them all you want them to do is visit with you. Dear Colleen: How does a girl get across to a guy that when she says "no", that's what she means? I've been dat ing a guy for about 2 years and every time we end up in an argument because I won't have sex. I really like him and he says he likes me. What can I do to get him to stop arguing about sex. Won't Say Yes Dear Won't Say Yes: If you have told this guy "no" and he continues to pressure you, I'd say maybe you aren't really saying "NO" as it should be said. You have to let him know you mean it or he might think it's a mat ter of time before you will give in. If he still doesn't hear you, then you are better off without him. Dear Colleen: I work with a good friend of mine and we have lunch together just about everyday. It seems for about the last month every time we go into a restau rant if the waitress isn't there immediately, my friend gets extremely mad. I don't want to say some thing to her and lose her friendship, but I know that in restaurant! you are generally served on a first come, first serve basis. However, her actiooa have upset me. up** Dear Upaet: Perhapa there ia some thing elae bothering your friend and she ia using the waitress to get mad at. If she ia a good friend and you care enough to help, you should privately ask her if something is troub ling her and explain how she has been acting toward the waitress. Maybe you are seeing something she isn't even aware of. Dear Colleen: I have been married for 5 year* and had always been faithful to my wife until three months ago. 1 met this girl at work and just couldn't seem to stay away. We only had three dates but I've really felt bad about it. I want to tell my wife but I'm afraid of how she might take it. I don't want to hurt her, but this is driving me crazy. I would like to get a woman's point of view. Going Crazy Dear Going Crazy: Why do you want to tell your wife about your be ing unfaithful? Is it just to get rid of your own guilt? I'm a firm believer in honesty, but I don't be lieve in hurting someone else to get rid of ones own guilt. I would say you've learned a lesson and won't give in to your "can't stay away" desires again. You should forgive yourself and forget it. Dear Colleen: Is there something wrong with me. I am a 16 year old boy and have never made it with a girl. When my friends and I are to gether all they talk about is making it with their dates. I act like I have too when I'm with them but I haven't and 1 haven't had a date with anyone I really felt like I wanted to have sex with. I'm really getting worried there is something wrong with me? No Name Please Dear No Name: Your friends sound like a lot of talk to me. You don't say how long you've been dating, but I'm guess ing you haven't been dat ing too long and dating is still pretty new. Your feel ings will change as you be come more comfortable and relaxed on your dates. In the meantime don't worry about something be ing wrong-. Dear Colleen: I am 11 years old and have made my very best friend mad at me. I liked the same boy she did so I told some things about her that weren't true so he would like me instead of her. Now I'm really sorry, but don't know what to do so she will be my best friend again. Sorry Dear Sorry: You should tell her and everyone else involved what you have done. This won't be easy and she may never be your best friend again, but you will feel better about this situation. I also think you have learned a valuable lesson here and won't do anything like this again. 'Ditf you Nfl th4M buflws ?4w bw whot I'd do if ttwy took your hot fl?ain? . ?' Ik. '** ? -w* .
