This is one time where you don't want to adhere to the lovely motto: What would Jesus do? Jesus lived in a time and place where razor blades, Brazilians and Paris Hilton X rated videos were still millennia away. What passed for fabulous and fashionable in those days isn't at the top of the sexy charts in 2011.

I'm also curious about what your man meant with his "eh." Is it...

I say forgo the bearded look and go clean. Your groom will likely dig the groom. I'm not saying you have to go hairless, but most women these days like to rock the cropped short triangle, or thin landing strip. Perhaps experiment in the months leading up to your special day and see what suits you. Nuptial Night you and your nethers will be ready to untie that old knot

No need to get your passport stamped in Brazil, but I'd make sure there's no Bermuda Triangle situation on your wedding night. Two words: professional wax. Let a pro take care of it for you. And as many of the commenters pointed out, lasering or waxing are much better long-term solutions for hair removal...if you've never shaved, you're much better off with these approaches. Best wishes...and enjoy!

In the immortal words of George Michael: You gotta have faith. Or at least trust.

I'm just going to take a wild shot in the dark here and assume that due to bad events in your past, you've got a few trust issues. That's going to complicate any relationship, and to a point, yes, you do need to trust him. Dredging up the fact that he danced with somebody else once, for example, is both petty and unfair. You need to let that go.

On the other hand, this is a two-way street. He needs to be able to demonstrate that he's worthy of your trust. Everybody needs space and time alone, but he needs to respect that's difficult for you, and, if he's doing something on his own, check in with you occasionally. That's not asking too much, and it's the least he can do.

The only person you can make happy is yourself. If you want him to be happy, be a happy person to be around. Now, if he makes you unhappy by betraying your trust or failing to give you the time and attention you need, don't be with him. But if he just needs a little space and he's not done anything to hurt you in the past, let the man go hang with his pals without whining. Find a hobby that makes you so happy when you're solo you don't even think twice about whatshisname.

It means that he does not want you looking at his phone. There could also be several subversive and perverse meanings. Such as?

It could be any of those, or any combo of those.

Should I answer this professionally? (It's his phone and his private information - if there's trust in this relationship, you shouldn't need to look at his phone.) Or should I answer truthfully? (He is hiding something from you! There's a 99% chance it involves another woman! If he had nothing to hide, he wouldn't care about who sees his phone! I may be judging a book by its cellphone cover, but I will eat my phone if I'm wrong! Because none of the good guys I've dated has ever, ever hid his phone from me. Nor did I ever, ever have a desire to look at it. The one who did cheat? He'd literally cover his phone with his hands whenever it buzzed. I was itching for that phone because I knew I was being played - and boy was I right.)

We see you with some loser and think to ourselves, "What's she doing with him?" Is it jealousy? Of course. Sue us, we're human. We just don't understand why a nice girl like you would stay with a jackass like these guys instead of going out with someone like, say, us.

BASIC A-HOLE

He's smug, arrogant and rude. We can totally see why you like him. "He's friendly once you get to know him." If you say so. We don't want to get to know him.

SOURPUSS

No, he doesn't want to go out to dinner (too expensive), or to a club (too crowded), or to a movie (they all suck). Everyone is stupid and they all get on his nerves. We can see why you date him.

THE PLAYER

Oh, that guy is your boyfriend? We just overheard him hitting on another woman while you were in the bathroom.

THE PSYCHO

It was totally your fault that you were late for the party. How do we know? Because we listened to him berate you for 20 minutes. And that's in public. We shudder to think how he treats you in private.

Read the rest of Wise-Ass' wise (and funny) warnings at the link above. And if you want my personal "danger to all ye who date here" list, drop me an email. I'd love to hear your nominations in the comments!

I think it depends on the person. Love is an amazing thing. If a guy falls for you, the gender you identify yourself as won't really matter. You might have better luck with bisexual men, but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that a straight man would fall for you. 

There are plenty of straight men in transgendered relationships. Often the woman (or the man) goes through a gender transition and their partner stays with them through the process. If a straight guy is with a straight woman, and the woman realizes that they self-identify as a man, does that mean the guy is gay if he stays? Or if the guy undergoes a sex change, but his wife stays married to him, is she now a lesbian? Of course not. It means they're in love with that person, no matter their gender. You hear about those kind of relationships all the time. Every time I hear a story like that, it kind of melts my cold, bitter heart. It's proof that love transcend labels. 

The important thing is to be honest about who you are with everyone. Tell guys, as you did here, that you were born a woman but now identify yourself as a man and are attracted to straight men. Sure, some guys won't be interested, but others might be. There are many dating sites for transgendered where you might meet someone. The world is filled with all kinds of couples. Gay, straight, transgendered -- we never know who we'll fall in love with.

I agree with Nick, honesty's the best policy and love always finds a way. The only thing I'll add is the same thing I tell every single person in a nascent relationship: you don't have to tell everyone all of your hopes, dreams, desires, fantasies, childhood pet names, etc. on a first date. Make sure you click and you trust each other before you get intimate - in any sense of the word. Good luck - I hope you find the man of your dreams!

He is smart. You are the asshole. Do I need elaborate yet again?

He pulls this shit because he can. He knows your moods and cooldown periods - which are pretty much constants across women. How the hell you think Players manage to play! He had best be either loaded or have a 12" tongue and plenty both upstairs and downstairs for you to put up with this crap more than twice.

Grow up, kick his ass out of your life for good and all, and stop looking for someone to give you a reason to do what you know what you should do. That's what adults do.

Ooooh, burn! I love when Mystery Man goes rogue. This dude definitely deserves to be dumped, unless he is in possession of that 12" tongue MM mentioned. (Call it a Tongue Pass.) The problem is, though, that guys like this do seem to have some ephermal quality that makes them exceedingly difficult to give up. But, like Mystery Man points out, that's what adults do. So that other adults who will make them far happier (extension tongue or no) than this baby ever will.

That's it for this week. Thanks for playing, guys and girls!
