Dear Prudence

Dear Prudence,

I am 22 years old and have been dating a wonderful young man for five months. Our relationship is perfect in every way and I am in love with him. He’s sensitive, has a good job, and a great sense of humor. The only problem is that we are not physically intimate in any way. We don’t even kiss or hold hands. (I was raised by old-fashioned parents and feel that I shouldn’t make the first move.) To me, this indicates that he may be gay; however, he has never broached the subject. Is there any way to tactfully bring it up, or should I just put aside my upbringing initiate the contact and see how he responds? If he responds negatively, is it worth it to stay with him? We are talking marriage, and I feel that even though I may have to sacrifice the physical side of the relationship, his personality and the other benefits outweigh the cost. Am I deluding myself, or can we make this work?

Signed,

Stay with Gay?

SWOON!

These are my final 3. I've already decided. I hope Matt doesn't go home soon...and I really did like Gokey, but it comes to this - I LOVE LOVE LOVE Kris. I LOVE LOVE Allison. And Adam is just good. He's not going anywhere.

Kris is hot. I don't care that he's married - good for him. He's just...damn. He's attractive.

There are no words...

The highly anticipated pictures from our all-girls' night in Lehi are here! For the record, if I had any control over Fern, I would have made her buy, and then wear, that jumper. I like it. Hehe.

Poor Wein...that is not the look you should be going for. But I know you know that already.

Results show...

I didn't watch last night - but I already knew what was going to happen. Michael went home, no big surprise. What did shock me, was the fact that Matt was almost lost to us! What are people thinking? It can't happen again...not until Megan, Lil, Scott, and Anoop go home.

At least people didn't let Allison get into the bottom. She is by far my favorite girl.

Mmmmm.... I like me some Kris. And Matt. And Gokey.

And holy cow! Adam's transformation was fantastic.

Of course, Allison was amazing. Did anyone see her fabulous jacket? I swear, there's something wrong with the way I am so jealous of a 16-year old. But dude, if I had her wardrobe, ability to wear bright pink hair and her vocals! Dang...what I could do with a set of vocals like that.

Overall, this week's performances were awesome! I am convinced that Smokey Robinson is one of the nicest people in the whole world. He had nothing but good things to say to each of the Idols. I am really tired of Scott (and his nasty pink, flesh-toned pants) and Michael. And I'm over Lil.

Anoop did good...

I'm not sure what was going on between Paula and Simon, but it was fairly amusing and mostly annoying. Hopefully they will leave the props at home.

Did I miss anything?

Good-bye Alexis.

The judges might have saved her, if she could keep her unraveling nerves in check while she sang for the last time. She was cute and sassy and had a pretty unique style, but it wasn't enough to keep her in the competition.
