Dear Aunties and Uncles...I broke up with my ex over a month ago... And we dated for a year.. I'm finally moving on, being happy with life and such.. I met this beautiful girl the other day and she just got back from Nashville, Her parents found out she was dating an 18 year old and they flipped at her.. They called the guy and told him never to talk to her again. She isnt allowed near him, and I've been around her, comforting her and doing anything she asks since it happened. I'm starting to fall for this girl, but am afraid of rejection. Its been so long since ive asked anyone out and it scares me.... What should I do?

A female reader, anonymous, writes (13 November 2009):

Don't take rejection to heart. I know it can be hard, especially if you have really built someone up in your mind, but don't be hard on yourself. Realize that approaching people and telling them what you want is part of being an adult. In adulthood we are forced to face our fears, no matter if we are asking for a promotion, a favor or a date; you have to have a certain amount of confidence and maturity to do all those things.

So, ask the woman you are interested in to get coffee or something in the near future. If she says no, then you simply tell yourself it is part of the process. Asking is part of being adult and dealing is even more apart of being part of an adult. Either way, I can say from personal experience, I always admire a man who has the guts to come up to a woman respectfully and ask to know her better. I find it really admirable even if I turn the guy down.
