Dear Abby,

There is this person in my orchistra class who I really like. I admire his

talent, personality, and the way he seems to radiate an aura of calm, even in the most

stressful situtations. He is very selfconfidant and seems to stand out in a crowd, without

actualy doing anything to draw attention to himself.

I would really like to go out with him, even if it is just for one night.

However, I don't think it would work out. We are just too different, and

plus...

He's straight.

What should I do?

-No Music Hook-up

Dear Music,

I think you should think about this situation carefully. It is true that you

are in a tight spot, but some of the blocks closing you in may be imaginary.

Do you know this boy personally? If so, are you sure he is straight? I'm

not suggesting you should ask him, it's a touchy subject, but what would

he do if he knew you swang that way?

It might be that he feels the same way about you, it's a slim chance, but

it is there.

You should ask some of your mutual female friends for their imput. Girls are remarkably

understanding and they pick up on all sorts of cues that men overlook.

I say ask them for advice, and good luck!

Dear Abby,

I know it sounds cliché, but there is this totally dreamy boy in my

homeroom who is compleatly unattainable. He is perfect: abosolutly gorgeous, star of the

basketball team, straight-a student, first chair flutist, and he even has a job printing in the

school newspaper.

Every girl I know thinks he's hott, but I seem to outclass them all in my

obsession over him.

I don't stand a chance.

And just to make my chance of success even worse, he's gay!

What do you think I should do?

-Crushin' in Class

Dear Crushin',

Wow, it sounds like you have it bad. Not that I can blame you, this guy

sounds great! As I said in the last letter, are you sure he's completly

unattainable? Are you sure he's gay? If the answer is yes, then sorry, but

there isn't anything you can do about it. If it turns out that he isn't, you

will still have a hard time, but I say go for it! I wish you the best of

luck in your romantic pursuits!

Dear Abby,

Help!

I have a big problem: There are two people I like, and neither one likes me back!

This is how it works...

'Michel' is in my orchestra class, and is the nicest person alive. He

always helps me out and is my really close friend. We can talk about

anything. I've found myself becoming more and more attracted to him as the years went

by, not that I didn't find him cute when I first met him. I

really like him and think we could have something good together.

But then there is 'Jane'. She is in my homeroom class, and I see her

everyday. I thought she was annoying at first, but then after getting to

know her better, I discovered that she's a really strong person who cares

about people deeply. She is very smart and funny, and I feel relaxed around her and just

want to be with her.

The problem is that neither one is interested in me. I don't know what to do.

-Lost

Dear Lost,

I don't think you should worry about it. In fact, I think that all of the problems for today will be

worked out very quickly. How do I know? Let's call it a hunch.
