I’m so shy I put men off

Dear Pam, I have a problem that keeps getting in the way of me finding a boyfriend...or even going on a second date! I am 27 and have never been in a serious relationship. This might be because I am a very shy person and I can’t trust anybody but my family and really close friends. In the...

I don't want to bore him when it comes to sex

Dear Dr. Pam, I just started seeing this guy who I’ve fancied for a really long time. He is very attractive and I know that a lot of women have crushes on him. He is the type of guy who gets a lot of attention wherever he goes. So naturally he’s had plenty of experience and is very good...
