Question:
Dear Shaal Mayaan,
I am young, successful in my profession, and not too bad looking, if I may say so myself, so had some hope of winning the woman of my dreams which would relieve me of my virginity. She even started responding to my jokes.
However, now her old lover has returned. Leaving my own crushed hopes aside, this person caused her much pain once already and is something of a schizophrenic personality. Should I speak out, or would I look like a jealous dumped suitor?
Yours,

Answer:
Ah, Mr. Garibaldi! I've been wondering how long it would be before you wrote to me.
No matter what you do, you will probably end up looking like a...how did you put it? "Jealous dumped lover". It is part of what we enlightened Minbari would call your personality type. But of course, your love for this woman is pure, and you do not care about how you come across, no? What you truly mean to do is protect her from being hurt, not just...how do you say? "Get inside her Earthforce uniform", I think.
So, if you are sure this returning lover will cause the woman you love pain, you must certainly speak out!
In case you haven't already planned out a speech to deliver to the one you love, outlining why she shouldn't go back to her old lover, here are some points you may care to use:
- Before you start, openly delineate your faults. She will take this as a compliment to her military prowess and loosen up her suspicions that you are only doing this for yourself.
- Re-assure her that she has good taste by complimenting the ex-lover. This will take away any doubt that you have alterior motives and will also make her feel good about herself.
- Finally, drop the bomb and tell her that her ex-lover, however attractive and blonde, is really soulsick and that she would do best to avoid her. With your previous points in mind, she'll be watching you sleep in no time! Good luck!
