Time to leave those boobs in the dust
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I went up to Grand Beach with three of my friends and suddenly they all took off the tops of their bikinis, like they had agreed to it beforehand. That left me -- the shy, flat one -- with the only top on. I have been wearing a fair bit of padding -- about two cup sizes worth -- and was not about to show off my shortcomings on the beach. .But then the pressure was on, like it wasn't enough for three of them to be topless. I refused, saying, "I just don't feel like it" and they actually dared me, like we were in Grade 8 or something. I stalked off down the beach, mad. Two hours later I came back and they were burned to the buds. Still, all the way home they went on and on about what guys looked, and the scene they had caused. When we got home, I said, "See ya later," but I didn't mean it. How could university-educated women carry on like that? I've had it with them. Am I over-reacting? -- Who's The Bigger Boob? River Heights
Dear Who's Bigger: Sometimes friends show parts of themselves that sour the relationship. Suddenly you're just not at the same level anymore. Then it's time for a shift, which is quite natural. Family usually stay in your life for good, but friendships -- except for a very few -- tend to come and go, as people change attitudes and interests. So, drift away a little, and deepen relationships with other friends who might not have been able to break into your clique before. Do the changeover gradually -- no sudden amputations. Someday you may re-meet one or two of them and be at the same level again, or find yourselves working together, so don't be too harsh.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I'm a happily married woman and my husband and I have a good sex life, but I have this terrible crush on my personal trainer at the gym. I know nothing would ever come of it, but the fact I'm having these feelings makes me feel a little guilty. I know I wouldn't like it if my husband was having the same feelings with his female trainer or anyone else for that matter. I love my husband, but lust after my trainer. I'm afraid if I switch to another trainer my current one would want to know why. Plus I'd miss the flirting, the fantasies, and our time together. -- A Real Dumbbell, E.K.
Dear Dumbbell: Roll the camera forward. What if you got so worked up, you did get a sex thing happening with this personal trainer -- then what? How does training work after that? What exactly are you paying for? Do you know he could lose his job if he gets caught dabbling? And here'e something you might not enjoy knowing, but should be aware of: Sometimes flirting with the female clients -- married or single -- is a way to keep them smiling, trying hard, and paying the big bucks. If your husband were in this situation with a female trainer, what would you want him to do? Do that, out of love for him.
