' Nick replies It's great that you and your girlfriend are close enough to discuss the tiny details of the way yo4 wear your shirts. But just doing things tg please hit won't make you happy. If you don't want to wear shirts buttoned up, then don't! Explain why to her and let her deal with it. You don't have to be identical to bj compatible sometime, differences help. ——————————————————————————————————4/6—— 60 words max. Ljtter1 may be amended. W JTJTOMICSFISHERPOBOX LONDON, SW6 1XT.

Nick replies If your girlfriend's got criticisms about the way you dress; listen, take her comments on board then decide what you want to do about it. Maintain your independence. Girlfriends can bj very creative and useful when it comes to clothes but you have to find out what YOU like. Stay close and let her into your life, but remember - you have to live it. ——————————————————————————————————3/6—— 60 words max. Ljttets may be amended.

If it didn'u thjti would have been no feelings. If you've decided you don't want to go on seeing this girl then you are only delaying the hurt by not bjink honest. You can't bj responsible for her feelings, only for your actions. Being straight with her now is the kindest thing to do. Be honest. —————————————————————————p————————5/6—p 60 words max.
