Dear Ann; I have this problem, there is this guy that I really like and I have for a long time. But he loves the girl I hate, I can’t get over him. I try and try but still I love him. She is pretty and I’m not but the guy was in love with me until she came along. I know she may be pretty and I may not meet up to his standards but I could get up there. I’m from a small town so there aren’t many guys and he is the one for me, my heart tells me. He promised that he’d love me forever and he didn’t go threw with his promise. Sometimes when I write him a note he will write back and say how much he doesn’t like me and how I need to stop cause I’m annoying.
I’m at the age that’s need to get married. Getting married would make my family very proud of me. I would love to be like her because she is rich and her parents are successful. She gets anything and everything she wants and I have to beg for my things. What do you think I should do? Please respond soon. - Osama bin Ladan

Dear Athena
I am being torn from my true love. My father is keeping me from being with him because he hates him. My father is forcing me to marry to someone that has treated me unworthy and I would never give my virginity to someone like him. My love has given me gifts despite that I give him curses.
The man that my father is trying to make me merry has already won someone’s heart. That person is someone I know that is jealous that her love is in love with me and not her. I have the decisions from my father to marry the man I don’t love, become a nun or die. My love and I had been thinking on what to do.
We have decided to run away from home so we can be together. I worry that if I get caught that I will have to marry the man, become a nun or die. Someone may rat us out if someone had seen us while going out that recognizes us. I fear that my love may also suffer consequences of that and I would not be able to live on with that.
Is there anything I can do to avoid this? Am I doing the right thing under the circumstances?
Sincerely
Young Lover

Dear Athena,

I have been in love with this one guy for quite a while but my dad doesn’t approve of him. I really like him and I don’t know what to do.

He’s so cute. He has the biggest muscles and he has the prettiest eyes in the world and a nice smile. He’s just so sweet. There’s a catch though. My dad. He wants me to marry a guy I don’t truly love, I tried to tell him but he gave me options if I didn’t want to marry the other guy I am really I love with. His three options are die, marry him, and someone else that was with us while my dad gave me my options was to become a nun and my dad agreed to that so become a nun is another list. I don’t want to marry the guy that my dad wants me to because he already stole someone else’s heart before he thought he had mine. I love the other guy cause he’s so much sweeter, he always knows how to make me happy, smile and laugh.

I would like to see my dad finally let me marry the guy that I truly love instead of the guy that he wants me to I really would like to see that happen. Any advice?

Your friend,
Ms. Confused

Dear Ann,

I am here writing you this to ask for your help, I need your help with my love life. I love Hermia with all my heart and if anything happen to us I don’t know what I would do. Just moments ago Hermia, her father Egeus and her husband to wed Demetrius and I all went to Duke Thesies’s home. While there we all pleaded out cases of who Hermia should be with, but I love her more then the Demetrius, but the duke would not listen to reasoning he game my sweet Hermia three options to pick from. One to wed Demetrius, Two be executed because she is the property of her father, or third become a nun. She was give fourth days before the wed of Thesies and Hipptalipa. There for we still love one another and still want to be with each other so we figured that we will run away together this evening. But my fears I think are coming true that someone might have found out about our plan and try to stop us. Dear Ann what shall I do go to the forest with my love or play is safe? If you can help I will vary appreciate it!

In love,
Mr. L

Dear Athena,
I have a big problem. I need your help! I am being forced to marry someone I personally don’t particularly care for now lets call him “George”. My father thinks he would be a great husband for me even though he knows I love someone else.
Before this all started I was in high school and I met lets call him “George”. So I met George and we really hit it off. After a while George met my father, and my father didn’t like the way George’s hair was done the way he spoke simply repulsed him. After dinner my father had a handsome man lets say his name is “Frank”, come in the dinning room I met him a few times at school and I didn’t particularly care for him. My father kept telling Frank and me that we needed to get used to being around each other because Frank was going to be my new husband or I would be as he put “sleeping with the fishes”!! I have until May 15th to decide or I have to marry a man I can’t stand and not the one I love.
Athena, please help me I’m desperate for an answer.

Sincerely, One Desperate Lady

Dear Athena,
I have a problem, and I desperately need your help. I am trying to run away with Hermia, but I’m afraid that we might get caught doing it. So I was hoping that you can give me a little bit of information on where to hide just in case if things begin to get strange like say if guards started chasing us or something.

So if you have anything that can be helpful on our little quest will be really helpful. Also, this guy wants to be with the lady of my dreams. But it sucks to be him because we are running away from everything. Can you please make sure that her dad is losing focas and distracted so we can get away skot free. So our plan is that during the Duke’s wedding we will stay and start greeting people then we will both meet at the cart so we can get a ride out of here. Then we will live happily ever after outside of Athens.

So I think you should distract the whole group by doing some extra plays to keep the whole entire group focused on the play. While this is happening Hermia and I will be leaving to get out of Athens as fast as possible. These things will work out if you do your part correctly by distracting the whole brady bunch of lunatics. I love Hermia with all my heart so I will be happy if we can get away in time.

Dear Athena,

I’m dealing with some major problems, in fact my girl and I are. And I just really need some advise on how to handle this. Ok I love this girl really deeply and want to marry here, she feels the same but there is another guy who wants to marry her to. In fact her father wants this other guy to marry her, I think because he is richer and is higher up than I am. And the thing is this guy has already one another women’s heart and now he is trying for my girl. But in the mist of all this her father has taken this to our fair duke, and has had him tell her that she is to marry this prince or she is to be killed, or he gave her another alternative, she is to become a nun.
This has become a very big problem because she doesn’t want to marry the so called prince charming but she has to other wise she’s dead or she becomes a nun, which she doesn’t want to be. So we have come up with our own solution, that is to run away. But a complication has come up in that plan to, a women who love’s the dear prince charming has decided to go and tell him that we are planning to run away to be together. Which I don’t understand why she would go and do that, because if she loose prince charming then why would she make it so he is going to marry my girl, that would defeat her whole purpose of loving him.
I just don’t know what me and her should do to try and escape these problems we are facing. I am hoping you will have another alternative for a suggestion of what we could possibly do. So I guess my question is how can I avoid all this?

Thank you,
Middle man
