Dear MG,
My boyfriend’s older brother teases him because we haven’t had sex yet, I can tell that it’s getting to him and that his patience is beginning to wear thin. My boyfriend is starting to question our abstinence. What could I possibly do or say to my boyfriend to make him understand that right now is not the best time to have sex?

Ariyon,
It seems as if your boyfriend’s older brother is not only getting to your boyfriend, but you also. The best thing you can do is talk to your boyfriend about the situation, see how he feels about the situation, check to see if he feels the same way as his brother. If he does or doesn’t you need to discuss both of your feelings on the matter, regardless. But remember there can be a compromise, but don’t ever compromise your values for anyone.
Dear MG,
I have a friend that dresses like a tomboy even when we go out. How could I tell her that she needs to dress more feminine without hurting her feelings?
Jordan from Atlanta, GA
Dear Jordan,
Telling your friend that she should dress a certain way when you guys are going out is kind of rude and a little heartless. I mean, how would you feel if one of your friends told you that you should change your clothes? A little hurt, right? Maybe the best way to approach this dilemma is to slightly suggest some outfits to your friend. For example, before you guys go out go into your closet, pull out something cute, turn to your friend and say, “Girl, this would look so cute on you!” If she looks as if she wants to put it on then maybe her problem is not knowing what to buy when she goes shopping. But if she looks at you like you are crazy then put the outfit back and never mention anything about clothes to her again.
Dear MG,
I am a freshman and I just started going out with this senior who goes to my high school. He wants to take me out (on our first date), but my mom says that I can go ONLY if I double date with my older sister and her fiancé. I really don’t want to because I’m sure that they will ruin everything and the date will end up being a total disaster. What should I do?
Nadine from Blackwood, NJ
Dear Nadine,
I would like to first commend you for letting your mother know about the date. That was very mature and honest of you. I think that if you discuss your feelings with your sister, she'll completely understand your worry. I'm sure (in one shape or form) she has been through the exact same thing. Maybe you two could come up with a plan that'll make you all happy. For example, your sister and her fiancé do not have to sit directly across from you and your date. They can get a table that is away, but in eye's view of you two.
Dear MG,
I have a friend who always copies my style of dressing and it’s starting to annoy me. I want to tell her to stop copying me but I don’t know how.

Dear Keyonna,
I don’t know if anyone has ever told you this, but the world does not revolve around you, Keyonna. I know that you may find yourself as stylish, but get over yourself honey! (LOL, JUST KIDDING!) Well, this friend of yours probably doesn't have a style of his/her own and looks up to you. And if he/she is really your friend maybe you could try to help him/her find their own style of dress that fits him/her best.
okay so this is my story in short. I go to school in Philadelphia and my cousin lives here with her husband and kids. There are kinda my only family in the state so i spend a lot of time around them. However, I'm kinda uncomfe with her husband because I just have this strange feeling about him. Everytime I see him he compliments me on how i look, tells me "you're getting older" and last night in a conversation he really asked me if I masturbate which shocked the hell out of me and made me very uncomfortable. Then he started rubbing on my shoulders and I pulled away. I don't know what to do. Do u think I should tell my cousin, mom, anyone? I'm lost.
Dear Anonymous,
I completely understand why this situation is a problem. Your cousin's husband has no business touching and saying anything inappropriate to you and it is very evident to us that you know this as well. I think that you should (of course) say something to your cousin, but if there is any doubt that your cousin may not believe you than I think that you should make some arrangements to stay somewhere else. I know that is a huge ordeal to have to go through, but (no matter what) you must tell your cousin what happened before he tries anything else!
