Question: I've had a recent outbreak of unrequited love. What should I do?

Answer: Well loverboy, Answer Meister certainly hopes you're being poetic, and aren't talking about an outbreak of the clap. First, a few questionss. Do you know that this love is unrequited, meaning, have you talked to your dulcet darling to let him or her know how you feel? Or...are you just lacking the balls to speak up? If the first, well, I'm sorry. But aren't you glad that you put yourself out there? So many things in this life go unsaid, and I'm of the opinion that we're the worse off for it. Yes, life is smoother when there are no uncomfortable pauses and when no one has to say "I'm sorry, but you're my first cousin, I'm not attracted to you" but I think it's less genuine. And if you haven't said anything yet, I say go for it, unless you'll lose your job or face criminal sanctions. (Answer Meister does not approve of statutory). Or, sit on your feelings and regret it. Mmm...the sweet taste of regret and lost chances.
