A Crushing Problem
Dear Ms. Meniscus, I have this huge crush on a boy. How do I get him to notice me? - Kendra in Kentucky
Dear Kendra,
I suggest the simplest approach: talk to him. Find common interests you share and strike up a conversation. Some of your best relationships will develop around your passions.
And if he ignores you, at least you won't regret not having tried.

Kissing Class
Dear Ms. Meniscus, I really like my boyfriend, but he has some problems kissing. For example, he starts with his mouth wide open and then keeps it open. What can I do to reform him? - Desperate in LA
Dear Desperate,
You need to talk to him about this. I guarantee he has no idea his "technique" is causing you angst. Be gentle -- harsh criticism could hurt his feelings (especially if you've let a long time pass without speaking up before).
Explain it as an opportunity to enhance this part of your relationship. And be prepared: he could have "opportunities" for you he's been hiding as well.
