• (2 votes) Separate boys and girls in the public school system
  

  Have to disagree with this one. First, because developing the skills to deal with all kinds of people is such an important part of growing up. It’s tough for a lot of us, especially high school, but we need to know how to handle ourselves responsibly around both disagreeable people and those we are attracted to. Secondly, it wouldn’t be at all effective in preventing bullying, as anyone who sends their children to a private gender segregated school will tell you. Third, and perhaps most importantly, we need to emphasize to girls and boys that they are equals in every way and must respect each other. Segregation would undermine this important message.

• (2 votes) What’s your definition of affection?
  

  An attraction to someone that makes you see them in a positive light, even if they’re being a bit shabby; and the urge to take care of them and protect them. I think reciprocity is essential to affection. It’s not a powerful enough emotion to sustain itself in the face of indifference or mistreatment, unlike love.

• (1 vote) Hi there…
  

  You know what you have to do. Ask her out. She’s almost surely going to say yes. She’d have to be pretty air-headed to not get that you’re interested, and if she wasn’t interested she wouldn’t seek you out twice and encourage you to ask her.

• (1 vote) My friend is copying me so much.
  

  They say immitation is the highest form of compliment. She thinks you’re beautiful and cool and have it all figured out, and she wants that, too. Telling her not to copy you will probably really upset her, no matter how nicely you say it. Maybe you should try giving it some time. She’s just trying out this new image right now. As she gets more confident, she’ll start trusting herself to pick out clothes that don’t look exactly like yours. The problem will probably fix itself.

• I am reading I Capture The Castle, and I like this sentence in it.
  

  The title “Capture the Castle” leads me to believe the story takes place some centuries in the past. I think this is a very sensible attitude to have toward marriage thruoghout most of history. It meant very little that was good, especially if the narrator is a woman.

• How do you ask out someone who works at a checkout?
  

  I’d find it embarrassing to be asked on a date at my place of employment, with my coworkers and others looking on. It kind of puts her on the spot, you know? Maybe you should make an effort to find out when she gets off work and meet her afterwards. I definitely wouldn’t say “I’ll take you, too”. Many people, especially women, would find this rude and offensive when said to them by a stranger and in front of others. It’s not really the right thing to start with because it makes you sound like you’re only interested in a one night hook-up.
