Dear Awkward Advice,<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019m having a problem and I don\u2019t know where else to turn.\u00a0 A few months ago, I entered into this relationship with an amazing girl.\u00a0 She is great! We get along so well when we are together and when we go on dates.\u00a0 Unfortunately, when we are alone together, I feel unsatisfied with our \u201cintimate\u201d relationship. How can I get my girlfriend to trust me and enhance our physical relationship?<\/strong><\/p>\n -Relationship on the Rocks<\/strong><\/p>\n This is a common problem in most college relationships. A physical component is vital to any relationship, and the important thing to remember is to always set the mood.\u00a0 No one wants intimacy when the mood in the room is not right.\u00a0 Step by step, here is what to do in order to set the mood: 1) Watch a cute movie!\u00a0 The movie Cats, is always perfect to set an intimate mood.\u00a0 Who doesn\u2019t love people dancing around in cat costumes? 2) Play soothing, beautiful music, like \u201cOde to Joy\u201d of The Lord of the Rings theme.\u00a0 What inspirational symphonies! Finally\u2026get rid of polyester products.\u00a0 Nothing says \u201cI want intimacy less than I want a ten-hour root canal\u201d than having polyester sheets or linens.\u00a0 Just, just don\u2019t do it.\u00a0 At the end of the evening, just be yourself, and remember (in the immortal words of Spongebob) \u201cit\u2019s all about finger strength, baby.\u201d<\/p>\n Dear Awkward Advice,<\/strong><\/p>\n Hi!\u00a0 My hair looks a lot like Ellen DeGeneres\u2019.\u00a0 She is a really funny lady, and if I was 50 I would be thrilled to look like her, but I want something new.\u00a0 What should I do?<\/strong><\/p>\n -Hair problem at Hood<\/strong><\/p>\n Ellen DeGeneres is great, but everyone goes through a phase where they want to change their look.\u00a0 Instead of getting rid of the awesome hair, you just need to distract people from your hair.\u00a0 Thus, change other parts of your look!\u00a0 Accessories can help.\u00a0 Now that Sillybands have gone to the \u201cout\u201d list, experiment with other jewelry, scarves, and handbags.\u00a0 Also, stand out from the crowd!\u00a0 Lady Gaga experimented with the caution tape dress and the meat dress.\u00a0 Project Runway featured the corn husk dress.\u00a0 Try out a wide variety of unique looks!\u00a0 You could also get a hat.\u00a0 Fedoras are now back in high fashion (thank goodness)!<\/p>\n Dear Awkward Advice,<\/strong><\/p>\n My boyfriend and I have been dating for a while, and the other day, he told me he loved me. I\u2019m not sure I feel the same way. What do I do?<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0-Commitmentphobe in Coblentz<\/strong><\/p>\n Dear Commitmentphobe,<\/p>\n The best defense is always a good offense. The first day that you started dating, you should have started pretending that you had narcolepsy. Every time that the question comes up, you can just \u201cfall asleep!\u201d Easy peasy. To explain it, you can just tell your guy that your narcolepsy acts up every time you get overcome by intense emotion. Problem solved! He\u2019ll feel good about himself, and eventually he\u2019ll be satisfied by your \u201coverwhelming emotional reaction\u201d and stop expecting you to reply back.<\/p>\n Love, kisses, razzle, dazzle, and pixie dust,<\/p>\n AA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
