Sexy Love

with Annamarya Scaccia

Q: I went out Tuesday night for a few drinks and ended up getting the number of the girl behind the bar. My question to you guys is, go you have any ideas for inexpensive dates? Money isn't exactly flowing my way at the moment, but I don't want to seem like a cheapskate! What to do? - Big Bad Dan (question from Advice Vixens)

A: Sweetie, this may seem cheesy, but BOWLING! It's cheap and if you are not one of those crazy gotta-get-a-300-or-you-die kind of bowlers, the lack of skills and gutter balls while laughing, drinking a couple of beers and chowing down on some curly fries will be fun and, hopefully, she is the type of girl who appreciates that kind of stuff.

Another thing that's wonderful - go for some coffee at a quaint, hole-in-the-wall cafe. You want to get to know her, so what better than conversations over a nice cup of joe, other than bowling of coffee?

Maybe, also, a walk around your favorite park and play, and yes I mean play, on the swing sets. Go to a museum that takes donations. Take her somewhere that will definitely give you a chance to get to know her.

Q: I come from a strong Jewish background. My dad is was during WWII in Germany to Jewish parents and my Nana escaped by marrying a soldier and getting false papers. My Pappi wasn't so lucky to survive nor were my dad's older siblings. So the importance of my faith has been a strong issue in my upbringing. My dad does not have an issue if I date someone who is not Jewish, as long as I do not give up my faith in the process. (My mom is Catholic, so there are no issues from them)

The issue arose when my older sister found out that this past week-end I had had a fight with my boyfriend and they he had called me a name and dumped me.

Upon my sister hearing this and me joking a few weeks ago about joining frumsters.com, a Jewish dating site, my sister decided that this was exactly what I needed. That I needed to be more like her and ONLY date Jewish boys.

My boyfriend, flew to where I am to mend things and to apologize, and just received a call a few minutes ago from his roommate who responded to my online personal ad on the website.

So this is a 2 part question or more.

1: How do I deal with my sister and her placing the ad in my name?

2: How do I make my boyfriend know it was not me and that I do not want to respond to any of these ads.

I do not want to lose him over something so stupid. I don't believe religion defines love but that love defines our beliefs.

I just got my prince charming back and everything I could want and now I am afraid this fairytale will turn into a nightmare.

I just want this to all go away for a few days and let me get on with a normal life.

My boyfriend is still talking to me the words are just few and choice and questioning.

I would never place an personal ad and especially after JUST being dumped by my childhood sweetie.

A: I do say this: ignore your sister. While she has her beliefs, and to her they are wonderful, they are not yours. If they do not make you happy, there is no reason to pay attention to them. Also, what your sister did is violating and she should not get away with it, so if you're up to it, give her an earful. It's true, she had good intentions but at the same time, she had no right to try and, well, run your life.

As for your boy, the only thing you can do is tell him the whole truth. Let him know that it wasn't you but your sister meddling in your love life and doing what SHE thought was best for you. He'll appreciate the honesty.

To add: Religion is a funny thing and it can destroy a lot of relationships and friendships because us, as humans, hold so strongly to our beliefs that sometimes, we become fanatical to the point where we believe it's the only way and smite anyone else for believing otherwise. If a difference in religion is not a bother between you and your love, then keep it that way and live your life happily.
