Lightning Round Of The Month: Questions Answered In A Flash

Wot's this then? My way of answering more questions. Why? Because some queries don't need long answers, and even if they did, there's no way we can do them all. Call this the next best thing.

Btw, these are straight-up answers. I save the snark for QATYQQ. Mostly.

I'm a 19y/o female and my 25y/o bf whom I've been dating for over a month has asked me if I'm ready to "come over to his place," I'm still a virgin and not comfortable enough to give it up. How long is too long to wait until I sleep with a guy in any relationship?

No such thing as too long. Take as long as you need to take and don't be pressured by him or a self-imposed deadline. If he respects you, he will wait. If he won't wait, good riddance and be glad you didn't give up your V to a tool.

Do guys like women to be vocal in bed, i.e. moaning and breathing hard vs staying quieter?

Yes, I think more guys than not prefer a bedmate who's vocal to some degree. Feedback is a good thing--it makes us know we're doing something right, which means we'll probably do it again next time. You do want us to do it again, don't you? Some guys want screamers, some are satisfied with moans and/or dirty talk, and some probably prefer a quiet boink. That last group--they don't know what they're missing.

Would you ever consider dating your female boss?

Hell no. That's just asking for trouble. What happens when you break up? She's still your boss, that's what. Talk about awkward. Or what if you're still together and she has to fire you? You've heard the saying, don't shit where you eat? This is what that means. Avoid. Many companies forbid it, anyway.

I broke up with this guy about a year ago, and now am happily nestled in another relationship.  I got a random email yesterday from the ex saying he wants my number again.  How do I send the message that I don't need him in my life ever again without being a bitch about it?

Easy -- just be honest. Tell him you appreciate the interest, but you are happy in another relationship. End of story.

Sex is a big issue with me and this guy I'm seeing and I'm not ready for it yet. Is it justified for him to have sex with other girls on the side to level out his physical needs if he has no feelings for them but wants to stay with me? Even if it's not "cheating" since we're not in a relationship?

HA HA HA! Is that what he told you? What a smooth smoothie.

Let's be clear. You're "seeing" the guy; that's a relationship. I don't know what kind of relationship, though. If you are mutually and openly non-exclusive, then he can see other women and have sex with whomever he wants without having to justify anything, right? Otherwise, it's cheating, no matter how he wants to rationalize it.

I went on a date with a guy that is shorter than me (I'm 6'0"). We have been talking and he has "jokingly" asked me if I thought he was ugly. He also mentioned the height difference. Why does he keep bringing it up?

He has self-esteem issues about his looks and his height. He brings it up so you will tell him he's not ugly or short, and then he can feel better about himself. It's not the end of the world, but it's not what I would call a healthy relationship, either. He's high-maintenance; unless you're prepared to constantly stroke his fragile ego, think twice about dating this poor schmo. 

I was with a guy for 5 years and recently broke up. He broke up with me because he "needed to figure himself out" and that he "didn't want to be in a relationship." He says that it wasn't about me and I didn't do anything. Really? Because now he's seeing someone new and it's been a little less than 3 months. WTF?

Somewhere along the way he decided you weren't the right one for him. All the things he told you were just excuses to end the relationship. I'm not saying he intentionally lied; he might have believed his own reasons until his met this new love. I think he was right on one point: I doubt you did anything specific to cause his loss of interest. It just didn't work out. 

How do I know the man I've been dating 4 months loves me. Amazing chemistry.

He doesn't. He might think he does, he might even say he does, but I don't believe it's possible to love with someone you've only known for four months. He might like you a lot--amazing chemistry and all--but love is a tricky thing to define. If things are going well between you two, just enjoy what you have and see where it leads without trying to put a label on it so soon.

Is it true that if a guy really wants to be with a girl, he'll do anything to get her? My boyfriend did that in order to get me, but now that I've been "gotten", he doesn't seem to feel the need to fight for me anymore. How do I get him to stop taking me for granted?

Some guys live for the chase. The prize is caught and the magic goes away. I don't know how you can change a guy like that. You could start by making him aware of your concern. Then if nothing changes and you get tired of it, you can always dump him. That might rekindle his interest, but guess what? That's just another chase. Once he gets you back, will he lose interest again? I don't know, but it's something to consider.

My boyfriend has been acting really clingy lately. He always hides behind me at school like a 3-year-old meeting new people! I think that i should dump him, but sometimes he's really sweet, and he told me he loves me! WHAT SHOULD I DO!?!?!?

Okay, so the image of a teenage (?) boy hiding behind you like a toddler made me laugh, I must admit. Does he suck his thumb, too?

I'm not sure why are you asking me what you should do. You already know what you should do. You said it in your question. "I think I should dump him." That's your gut talking, and you should always follow your gut--whether he told you he loves you or not.

Is it wrong to write a guy friend during basic training w/o telling my boyfriend? I don't think he'd understand.

It's not wrong to write your friend, but it's wrong to hide it from your boyfriend. If you do and he finds out anyway, it will make you look guilty when you're not. Just tell him you're doing it. If he doesn't like it, too bad. You can say, "I'm sorry you don't like it, but he's my friend and I want to write him. You'll just have to trust me on this one."
