Dear Linda, My new beau and I just began dating seriously for about 4 months. He's an entrepreneur and consults with a lot of women and if that's not enough...he's very flirtatious. I've notice him checking out other women when he thinks I'm not aware of it. I was contemplating on breaking up with him but, he treats me really good. Although, I get pissed when I see him checking out other women. Am I over reacting? I understand that we are only human and I expect him to notice other women when I not around but not while I am in plain view. What do you think?? Barbara

Dear Barbara, You are not over reacting,
you are however reacting exactly as this guy wants. First of all, I don't
think for a minute that he checks out other women when he thinks you are
not aware of it. He knows EXACTLY what he is doing, he's trying to make
you insecure and needy, and he's succeeding. Second, you say he treats
you really good, I don't think the good can out weigh the bad when you
are dealing with someone who plays with your self esteem. |

Dear Linda,
I have one question. Does a girl that looks back at you while you are
walking away have any significant meaning? I also happened to look back
at the same time that she did. I kinda like this person too. Can you give
me your scoop on this?
Thank you, |

Dear Mike, It could be that she too is interested. I would suggest that you make yourself available for conversation with her.

Dear Linda, I have very recently separated
from my husband, but have been flirting with this one person on my baseball
team for over two years. We actually talked about having an affair, but
he refused and told me I had to deal with the situation I was in before
anything but flirting could occur between us. (I admire him even more). Jean

Dear Jean, At first this guy sounded
pretty good, centered, and caring. As you described him further, it's
clear he's only thinking about the center of his body, and cares only
about HIMSELF! |

Dear Linda, I live on the east coast, so I don't know if you can help me. I am early 40's and I have been told by the men that I have dated as well as my friends that I'm very attractive. I don't know what is wrong, but men rarely ask me out. I have never been married, but I have had a few boyfriends. I am told by my friends (male and female) that I intimidate men. I am tall, 5'9" and I work out regularly. I support myself and live in a modest home. I can't imagine what would intimidate them...but this must be true, because I hear it quite often. I'm not a snob, although I am never the first to speak with anyone. I'm somewhat reserved, I suppose I'm nervous about being rejected. Anyway, I have no idea how to flirt. I wouldn't even know where to begin. I was raised in an environment where I nver saw it done, and I don't know how to start. Do you have any suggestions for me? Loretta
