Hello Princess,

I have trouble opening up to people that I know are gay/bi. What should I do to gain the courage to ask these people how they feel about me,or ask them out on a date?

Lost and alone.

Dear Lost and Alone,

You are only as lost and alone as you allow yourself to feel. At times we are our own best friend and company. Sometimes our own enemey!

The roadmap to friendship and romance is in your heart and in your smile.

I have found a whole new world of friends through an open heart and a warm smile. Don't think of people as gay or bisexual.

Think of people as people- as interesting people to meet, and approach each meeting with an eagerness to journey into new possibilities of friendships. Or romance!

After a few roadtrips of meeting new people, you won't have to ask them what they think of you. You will know by how they interact and react to you. Relax, enjoy, and be yourself. Watch, listen, and feel.

But, remember, you're never alone-just don't set yourself up for rejection.

I will have an article shortly on Roscoes, and the game Post Office which is played every sunday. It's fun, easy, and great way to check out the guys!

Operative word here is fun. You have to have fun to be fun-to be around! Let me know how everything shakes out!!
