Dolores dice...Sister to Sister
| |
Dear Dolores:
I’m a proud first-generation Latina attending Colorado State University. I belong to the Lambda Theta Nu sorority, a fabulous Latina nonprofit organization. We do a lot for our community, striving for academic excellence and women in higher education. I’m tired of hearing about the bad reputation of college sororities...

Dear Dolores:
My boyfriend and I have been together for nine months, but we have issues: who calls who, who will pay for dinner this time, things like that. This could be because of our age difference. He’s 23 and I’m 29. Right now I’m at the stage where I’m looking for something serious. I asked him where our relationship is headed and he answered...
Dolores dice...¿Es mentiroso ese hombre?
| |
Dear Dolores:
I’m 22 and have been seeing this handsome 25-year-old hombre who really cares about me. He’s great except for one thing: He’s married to a 33-year-old woman with two kids. According to him, they’re having all sorts of problems. She’s horrible, never wants to spend time with him, goes off on vacation to Cancun by herself—the list goes...
Dolores dice...Arroz con Pizza
| |
Dear Dolores:
I’m a Puerto Rican dating a non-Latino. Things are going pretty well, except at the dinner table. He only eats pizza, chicken or pasta. When he comes to family dinners he looks at the food in disgust and hardly touches the pernil and arroz con gandules. It makes me feel bad because my family’s always asking me why he...
Dolores dice...Rock the Cradle of Love
| |
Dear Dolores:
My boyfriend just broke up with me because of our age difference; he didn’t want people to think he was robbing the cradle. I’m 17 and he’s 35. But now he tells me that if we get back together I have to change the way I dress and stop plucking my eyebrows, wearing makeup and going out with my amigas. I don’t know what to do because I...
Dolores dice...Fat Fatale
| |
Dear Dolores:
I have been with my boyfriend for seven months and I can honestly say I love him to death. He recently asked me to marry him, but a couple of weeks later he changed his mind. He told me I was not the one he wanted to plan the future with because of my weight. I was devastated. He’s 24 years old, 6-foot-1 and weighs about 300 pounds. I’...
Dolores dice...Quinceañera from Hell
| |
Dear Dolores:
My daughter’s having her quinceañera in May. I’m going crazy planning, but that’s not my dilemma. El problema is that her father, my ex-husband, wants to come to the fiesta and the mass. I have no beef with that, but he wants to bring his current wife, who used to be a good friend of mine. Their affair, which led to...
Dolores dice...Pistol Packin' Mama

Dear Dolores:
I enjoy reading your column and try to take your advice on how to be an empowered Latina. But it’s not working. I am 34 years old, am divorced, have no children, am good-looking, own my own home and have a great career as a police officer. The problem is el machismo. The men around here can’t handle my independencia. I...
