"Last Christmas," Wham! 

The best song ever written about a guy who gives his heart to a girl on Christmas, only to have her turn around and make out with some other dude the very next day. But don't worry, 'cause this year he's giving it to someone special. Plus, you have to love that cheesy video with George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley romancing the same girl at a ski chalet. That's some Oscar-worthy acting on George's part there.

Read the rest of Nick's fa-la-la-list and add your own suggestions at the link above. My all-time favorite is "A Christmas to Remember" by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. Watch their '80s-licious ski chalet video (giving Wham! a run for their money) and you'll understand why.

Dear Mystery Man, How can I forget someone?

Mystery Man says:

First off - stop moping round the house. Get out. See your friends. Do things with them. Fun things. The idea is to distract yourself and give you no time to brood. Secondly - exercise. Don't pull that face at me, young lady. Exercise floods your brain with endorphins, making it impossible for you to feel bad during, and for an hour or so afterwards. Thirdly -  the worst times are always at night. Have some hot chocolate, made with proper chocolate, not the chemical crap, before you go to bed. It is highly addictive and very effective as a mood enhancer. Finally - try something new. Learn the guitar. Learn to paint. Learn car maintenance, for God's sake, but learn something! Use this time when you are distracting yourself to improve yourself.

Gal Pal says:

You set him aside and plop yourself up front. Immerse yourself in old friends, new hobbies, crazy plans and comfy slippers. After a few weeks or months, your pulse will stop stopping every time you see a white car that looks vaguely like his, your tears will stop falling when you hear that Coldplay song he sang to you, your heart will stop breaking each time your phone rings and it isn't him. Pretty soon, he'll be as memorable as a trigonometry problem set.   

Quick question: I have a hot date tonight and I wanna get laid, so what's hotter with a short (but not skanky short!) dress: knee high boots or pretty high pumps? Thank you muy mucho!

Reformed Player says:

First of all, kudos for being honest with yourself about what you want. You want to get laid. I find that many women are fundamentally dishonest with themselves about what it is they want. For instance, sometimes you need a hot dude to lick every shivering inch of your body. These things happen.

It doesn't matter what you wear. You could show up in trash bags and it wouldn't make a difference. Do Lady GaGa one better and wear a dress made out of mackerel. Personally, knee high boots are sexy. You know what else is sexy? Pretty high pumps.

However, I will give you the advice I'd give a dude. Be Zen about getting laid. Get laid by not trying to get laid. Desperation is a boner repellent. Just be fun. Don't be a jerk. Laugh. Be open to whatever happens. If you're more than two drinks into a one drink nightcap, however, feel free to taste him.

Gal Pal says:

Oh, girl, they have a name for the shoes you want. They're called "f-me shoes" and they got that name for a reason. Both are super sexy. The pumps put it all out there, the boots are more of a tease. Check the weather report and your confidence level walking across the room - the winner is your sexytime shoe for tonight.

Lightning Round Of The Month: Questions Answered In A Flash

Wise-Ass says:

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.

I'm a 19 y/o female and my 25 y/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. 

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.

Read the rest of Cary's wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am list at the link above. My only question: How tall are you, Wise-Ass?

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?

Funny Guy says: 

In our society guys are "supposed" to be taller than their ladies. It's a social norm, popularized maybe by genetics; men typically grow taller than women. Don't get angry at me Guyspeaklets; it's a plain fact - like cats are annoying. This man-child (I kid) you went out with brings up the height thing, because he's super self-conscious about it. He's conditioned to think it's a flaw, a glaring weakness - like liking cats. Unless his face is actually fugly, this poor little fella clearly felt he needed to damage-control with you after the date. Awwww.

It sounds like you dug this guy and feel bad that he feels bad about himself. Who cares that he can't get to the cereal on your fridge? You don't. Lift him up (no, not literally) to your enlightened perspective: don't judge a person based on their height. Tell him, the truth: it's OK that he's shorter than you; the only thing that matters to you is that he likes himself and has a big penis heart.

Gal Pal says:

Sorry, but this dude's insecurity would be a huge turn-off for me. Unless you're super into him and you feel his trash-talk is only temporary, I'd move onto higher pastures. After all, you don't want no short-short-on-confidence man.

My boyfriend is the guy that taught Negative Ned all he knows. He is so negative, and the smallest thing going wrong will ruin the next week of his life, no matter my efforts to improve his day. I am at the receiving end, every day. What do I do?

Girls' BFF says:

Negativity sucks, plain and simple. It can't be easy at all dealing with somebody who makes Eeyore look like an optimist. And the problem with negative Ned's is that you can't change them. They have to want to change on their own. 

My suggestion to you would be to first and foremost explain to him that his negative attitude is ruining your relationship. And believe me, it is. One can only deal with negative energy for so long before they succumb to it and roll bounce like Bow Wow. If that isn't enough for him to at the VERY least consider that perhaps he needs to look at things differently than I feel sorry for his mother. Well that's not true, but I take any opportunity to quote the Asians from Menace II Society possible.

And if that doesn't work, get him the happiest toy on earth, a Tickle Me Elmo, and dare him to maintain his sour disposition. If that doesn't help I suggest getting a new boyfriend.

Gal Pal says:

Why are you wasting your life on such a downer? If you've pointed out that his negativity is bringing you down and he still hasn't changed, it's time to spend your precious time with people that make you happy. Smile!

Thanks for playing, guys and girls!
