JULY 26 - AUGUST I, 1987 THE MICHIGAN CITIZEN 13 Dear De r Eri , little over wee go, I met man while out on a date with another gentleman. I was very impre by him, not only w s he good 100 ing but kind and con iderate, He wanted very much to meet me and he did. He did it all without emb rrassing my d te and I was very happy about that, becau I ould not want him hurt. en we thought my date wasn't looking we exchanged telephone numbers. I told him that- my date and I were not rious about each other and that this wa only our third or fourth date. I really didn't • want thi guy to get away from me and at the same time 1 want­ ed to re pect the man I was with. Later that evening my old date wanted to know if I h d given my number to the guy. I lied to him. Since that night I have had dinner twice with this new man . . . and breakfast. e like each other a lot and plan to spend more time tether. y problem is ith myoId friend, he' till calling and he wants to e me again. I don't know what to y to him becau I have alre dy lied. He has been leavin me ge and I haven't been returning them. I don't kno what I ould do. Girl ith ne man' La ngele California methin metime in on Dear rik I are an partment with ery ni e youn oman. e have become good fr] nds. hat help hen you live in a all partment. The other evening e wa all excited about ne man and she as hopin that he ould call that evening. He did and she was on cloud nine. I heard her invite him over that evening. he as thrilled when he id yes. en he arrived at the door I pani ked. Thi a the same man that I had dated once. y first impul wa to cIo the door in his f e but at that moment my roommate came into he room. On my one and only date with this man, he became very aggre sive with me and I h d to literally fight him. Once I got out of his car, I rik h d to catch a bu home. I never w him again and I never told anyone. I didn't know what to say to my room­ mate and I ill don't. Do you think that I should tell her what happened to me? She has only been out with him once. I think that she is plan­ ning to see him again. If some­ thing should happen to her I ould feel a if it w re my fault. But if he has changed? Plea help.

Sincerely, E Washington Dear Erik, I have a problem and I am not sure what to do about it. I have never been able to get along with my step-mother since I was a teenager. ow that I am 27, its not important to me but] love my father very much. Last week my best girlfriend and I were ou t shopping to­ gether hen we saw my step­ mother and a much younger man. She was leaning all over him. My friend said to me 'Look at ay and Decem­ ber '. She didn't know it was my step-mother and I didn't say anything. I don't know ho the young man is. Do you think that I should say mething to her? I ould never say anything to father.
