Dear Dolores:

I’m 21-years old and my question is: How can I overcome my pickiness? I'll meet a cute guy and go out on a date but if even the smallest thing bothers me—like the way he breathes or kisses—I get grossed out and dump him. I’m not perfect, but I always seem to find something wrong or annoying about a guy, and it stops me from getting into a relationship. Is this normal or is there something wrong with me?

Dear Confused:

Nothing is wrong with you. Dating is like kind of like eating out. If what you ordered smells fishy, don’t touch it, because it probably isn’t fresh. Why risk food poisoning? Just be sure to keep studying the menu until something more appealing catches your eye!
