A Flame From The Past.

Q - Dear Annabelle,
I really loved the advice you gave me so I thought I'd write again about this BIG problem I have. Well about two years ago I went out with this guy who I really liked, he was cool, funny, sweet, cute, everything! :) But we only lasted a month b4 we split up (we were young) and since then we haven't had too much to do with each other. But just in the few weeks he got really friendly, saying hi and starting conversations :) I was really stoked about this even though all my friends are saying not to get involved again because of his reputation and his personality (they don't know him though, I think he's really nice) Anyways, last night I was sober driving for a group of guys and I had no where to crash for the night. He offered to let me stay at his house and I agreed, thinking nothing would happen. Well it did. We did everything except for sex (I mean intercourse sex) and now I don't know what to do. I don't regret it at all, I really like this guy but now I'm not sure how to act or what to do. Should i give him a call and ask him out?

Despite what some people say he is a really nice guy and I really, really like him. Also, a while ago he slept with this girl who is well-known for being a slut. He said he was drunk and really regrets it since he thinks she's "fucked up" and even though she keeps ringing to ask him out, he doesn't like her. I really, really do though, it's incredible how much I like him but doing this, has it made me loose my chance?? Now won't he think I'm easy and not want to go out with me? And should I ask him out?? PLEASE ANSWER ASAP, I need advice bad! :)

A - Dear Aimee,

Well, youâre probably not going to like my being so direct with you, but you DO have a problem here. What do you mean you Îsplit up with a guy two years ago because you Îwere youngâ....Aimee, two years ago you were 14! Youâre STILL young! (Yes, I KNOW you feel grownup.) Amy, what am I going to DO with you?? (For that matter, what are YOU going to do with you.) Here youâve got friends who are underage and are drinking........and, remember, your friends are a reflection of how you see yourself in the world. AND youâve got the hots for a studmuffin who both drinks and sleeps around. Perhaps things are different in your part of the world, but it would be a REALLY good idea if youâd take a good look at how YOU are treating you....and where you want to be in just a few years.. With a baby, perhaps unmarried, or in a good school finishing a top notch education and on the way to a wonderful career with a promising young man panting to marry you?

Giving this question some thought (the next time youâre about to do something not in your best interests) might allow you some take a moment and make a better choice for yourself. If youâve read many of the letters to me, you have some idea how MANY young women have gotten pregnant too early and are leading boring and tiresome lives, and have NOT gotten the education to widen their choices in life. Be careful, Aimee........life is very long and you could have a dreadful surprise in store is you make the wrong choices. Yes, I know I sound like a terrible nag....Iâve got a very good memory about what has happened to the girls that I knew when I was your age. Take care.......with yourself.
