DEAR TRACI AND Doran,
I'm in love with a older man, and I just found out he is getting married in a week. I know he still has feelings for me. What should I do? - Confused and in love
Dear Confused,
It sounds like like your mate has already found another match. He has obviously made a decision to move on. You have to accept that and do the same.
It doesn't seem as if there was any communication in your relationship because you didn't know he had a girlfriend/fiancee, and now he's going to the alter without you. This guy isn't worth your time. Learn from this experience. The next time you find yourself falling for a guy, investigate his background better.
Dear Traci and Doran,
I just started dating this girl and she's really nice, but she's not very attractive. Do you think that looks should matter in a relationship? - Looks Count
Dear Looks Count,
In today's society, people look before they listen, and a lot of times, that gets in the way. In your case, you have established somewhat of a relationship with this girl. If you like her as a person, then nothing should sour those feelings you have for her.
Haven't you ever heard the saying, ``It's what's inside that matters, not the outside?'' You should not base your relationship on looks but on trust, honesty, friendship, and just having a good time together. You are on the right track to having a great relationship.
Dear Traci and Doran,
I recently had sex with this guy and then he dumped me. Now he's after my best friend. What can I do to help? - Concerned
Dear Concerned,
It seems that this guy got what he wanted from you and now wants your friend. It is your responsibility to warn your friend about this guy and tell her what happened to you. Don't let her fall into his trap. It doesn't sound as if he is or will be responsible for his actions. Talk to your friend now before it's too late.
