Dear Madre: "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?"

Posted At: 4:47pm by Sandra Ostapowich

Dear Madre,

I'm in college and living away from home in an apartment near campus with some friends. I even have a boyfriend (finally!). He's really sweet and thoughtful and all my friends really like him too. He's even Lutheran! 

But he goes to another school a couple of hours away so we really only get to spend time together when he comes to visit, about twice a month for a weekend. I'm really committed to remaining a virgin until I get married, but sometimes we fall asleep cuddling on the couch, and he's slept with me in my bed a few times too. Is it wrong of us to sleep together when he comes to visit if we're really truly just sleeping?

So I'm kind of against it, duh." She said that she was a Christian too and she thought it wasn't fair that some people can't get married just because they're gay. Then she told me she was Lutheran and asked what I was. I said, "I'm a Lutheran too..." Who's right?

Dear Madre... Flirting 101

Posted At: 1:14am by Sandra Ostapowich

Dear Madre,

I've been hanging out with this guy a lot lately, and I'm really enjoying it. Thing is, I don't know if there's something there, or if he just views me as a kid sister. How do I know? What do I do about it? Can I even do anything about it?

Help!

In the past week, I've been asked repeatedly by young ladies for "dating" advice.  This isn't the first time I've been asked for my insight, but it was enough at once that I decided to go with it and start a
