Q: I had a haircut gone wrong. Thinking about getting extensions to cover it up. Problem: they are expensive ($500+). So my question is, how much do guys notice hair? I wouldn't mind saving the money and letting it grow out naturally, but at the same time I don't want guys to slight me because of my (super short/weird) hair.

A: Unless it's a crew cut or mohawk, most guys won't care. Hair is icing, not the cake. Your personality and overall appear...

Q: I don't see myself as likeable/attractive/dateable, so I can't image that any man would. I'm 27, but feel that men think of me like an eccentric old neighbour - female but not in sexual/romantic way. I feel like an "untouchable" - a girl in a lonely, ignored category. How do I know if I'm right (and change, if I am)?

A: First off, you're wrong. Men don't see you as the "eccentric old neighbor" or the "best gal pal" or whatever. Those are ...

Q: How uncomfortable are guys with a girl talking about her dad sometimes? I get the sense that they sometimes get squirmy when I say things like "yeah, my dad is good at so and so." I don't have 'daddy issues', I just have a strong father figure. Is it a turn-off if I talk about him?

A: Of course you are going to talk about your dad. He's a big part of your life. Nothing wrong with that. As a dad myself,...

Q: Dearest Panama, please help! I've totally lost my confidence. I used to be happier but a string of rejections (lasting many years, with no success in between) has got me feeling awful. I've literally never had any romantic success and it feels HORRIBLE. I know I need confidence to move on, but how do I get it back?!

A: You know, the only way to get it back is to go out there and dance like nobody's watching. Clichéd as that sounds (and i...

Q: Hey! I'd love some words of wisdom. I hang out with a strikingly gorgeous group of gal pals and I sometimes feel like I'm the gross-grape of the bunch. We all share the same level of high enthusiasm when meeting guys but I hardly ever get noticed when I'm around them. What should I do if I don't want to go out alone?

A: First off, never, ever refer to yourself as a "gross-grape" again. That's your first mistake. Now, when you're out, are ...

Q: I have big feet, it's part genetics and part orthopedics. I'm very self conscious about them, I mean I keep them well kept and all, but they make me feel unfeminine, it was a long time before I found a specialty shop that carried girly shoes my size. My new guy has smaller feet than me, and I'm not sure I can take it.

A:  You're not sure you can take it, but your man seems to be able to take it just fine. Often the things we find nearly un...

However, I see girls in bars who are "being confident" and they're just embarrassing themselves because they are trying too hard. I'm afraid I'm being that type of girl, too.

Q: I am always complaining about how guys don't like me, and now when one finally does, I am not interested in him! Should just suck it up and date him anyway knowing that this kind of thing only happens to me once every 5 years or so?
