A Latin Lesson

Here's my question, Bloggy. I've been with this guy for nearly six months and things are going pretty good, i.e. no major alarms yet. Lately he's been talking about doing something for our six-month anniversary, like going on a vacation together. His family has this cabin up in (location redacted) and he just keeps on talking about it. So my question is, is it too fast to going away together?

Bloggy,

I am a 19-year-old female, college freshman and a virgin. I'm the only one of my friends who hasn't had sex yet and it's kinda starting to bug me. How will I know when I'm ready? Sometimes I just want to go and get it over with.

Where Nobody Knows Your Name

Alright, Bloggy. Here's the situation. I grew up in a podunk little town and I got out as soon as I could. I've been in a new city for about a year and everything's been going great. Recently my dad's been looking for a new job and it looks like there's an opening in my city. I love my folks and everything, but I feel like if they move here then they'll just start crowding my life. So, should I tell them this or would that just be a really dickish thing to do? -Ben

Ah, parents. I feel for you, Ben. I really do. One of the most difficult social situations in life is when parents and children have to learn how to interact with one another when the children aren't really children anymore. Boundaries need to be renegotiated, terms have to be re-defined and everyone has to learn to approach everyone else with mutual respect but not without at least paying lip service to due reverence. Many conflicts between parents and their grown children result from perceived insubordination or in your case, Ben, intrusion.

Big, Beautiful Love

Bloggy, I'm at the end of my rope. I just don't get it. How can there not be a single, solitary guy out there who likes big girls? What's the problem? I don't believe it's a health issue, I don't even think it's logical. Are guys so easily influenced by society that they only want skinny, little girls? -Jannie

Nice Guys

Bloggy, I know this is the most stereotypical complaint, but what ever happened to the nice guys? Where are they hiding? Every year there seem to just be more jerks who are just trying to get some action and are totally insensitive. Why is it so difficult to find the right kind of guy? I'm talking about the ones that still hold the door open, who will be a shoulder to cry on and are happy to just be there for us when we need them? There's got to be at least one truly nice guy left. -Stacy

Alright, Bloggy. This is going to sound weird and maybe I shouldn't be complaining. And I promise this is not a bragging thing. Ok, so I just moved in with my girlfriend. About two weeks ago we both woke up in the middle of the night already having sex. Like, I was asleep, she was asleep, then bam, like sleep walking. We thought it was a weird, one time thing and we laughed about it. A couple days ago, it happened again. We're starting to get worried because she's not on the pill and we're definitely too young to have a kid. What the F is going on? -Fred

Travel Jitters

Hi Bloggy,
Recently my parents have asked me where I would like to go for my senior vacation since I will be graduating this June. I really want to go to a place that is tropical. I really want a place that has the white beaches, clear waters, and tropical rainforests are a must. Something kind of like from the show LOST. I love adventure and so am not exactly looking for something that's just "romantic" or "relaxing". I was looking into going to Costa Rica but have heard that many places now a days are very dangerous for US citizens to go to. I don't know if Costa Rica is one of them or not. Any advice for a place that is tropical, safe, and not terribly expensive? Thanks
-D

Man oh man, I wish I had your problems, kid. All joking aside, there are a few things we have to address.

Bloggy, I'm a 23 year old guy living in podunk middle of nowhere. I grew up here and I hate it, so I'm thinking of packing a bag and getting out of here for a better place to live. The problem is, I don't have much money. With the economy how it is today, I'm not sure it would be a good idea to try to start over some place else. Should I just bite the bullet and go, or should I lay low and wait for things to get better? Lou

You're right, Lou. Moving is expensive.

Depending on how far you go and the method of travel you take to get there, transit alone can put you back a nice chunk of change. Heck, getting a place to live usually involves screening fees, first and last months rent, and setting up new utilities accounts. If you're on your way to a big city, expect the price tag on all those things to be pretty steep.

Keeping Balance

Behind the scenes at an advice column, you'd be surprised how many medical questions come through. Some of them are mundane, like whether or not to use chocolate syrup as a sexual lubricant (you shouldn't) and some of them are a lot more serious. While we here at Ask Bloggy are dedicated to providing our readers with good, anonymous support, none of us are trained physicians and we don't exactly have one on retainer. So, for the most part, we won't be answering serious medical questions. Those questions we answer that have some kind of medical component to them will all get similar responses: Consult a doctor. A real one. If you're not sure about the advice the first one gives you, get a second opinion from another real doctor.

My girlfriend has been acting really weird for the past couple weeks. She used to be really active and she never flaked out about her job or school. I recently found out that she's been staying home from class a lot. Whenever I ask about that, or other stuff, she just tells me that she's tired.

Bi-Cycles

Crack open a bottle of champagne. It's Ask Bloggy's first romance question.

Hey Bloggy or whoever you are. I've got a question for you about this thing with my boyfriend. So, we've been together for about three months now and things were going really well. He's nice, he's cute, he isn't a deadbeat. We started "being intimate" about a month and a half into the relationship. Last week, he confesses to me that he's bisexual. I said I didn't know how I felt about that. And I still don't. I've never been with a bisexual guy before. I mean, does this mean that he wants to be with guys too? Is he just gay and afraid to say so? He's a really nice guy, but this whole thing just makes me nervous.

Help,

Cali

First of all, take a deep breath, Cali. Everything is going to be all right.
