Dear Playboy Advisor: Questions From Men and Women to the Advice Column of Playboy Magazine by Chip Rowe Page B

girlfriends. Also, we’re not getting enough sleep and our grades are suffering. I’m afraid if we tell the girls to stop coming they’ll rat on us. What should we do?—T.S., East Lansing, Michigan
    Isn’t this half the reason you went to college? If you’re tired, lock your door twice a week, and don’t answer.
     
    Analyze this
    I’m a 28-year-old graduate student who most people would judge to be handsome. Earlier this year, I began noticing a gorgeous student from another department. We seemed to keep similar schedules, and I would often see her in the library or the cafeteria. We have never met, but for a long time we exchanged semiflirtatious smiles and glances. Often, I would look up and catch her staring at me, and then she would quickly look away. Many times she caught me doing the same. A few times we passed on campus and said hello. After several months of this, I waited for the right moment to introduce myself. Then something strange happened: For no reason that I can discern, the smiles and glances stopped. I have a clear vibe about this: If she’s aware of my presence, or if she spots me on the street, she makes an effort not to look my way. Naturally, I take this as a bad sign, but some of my friends think her new body language might be good news. Perhaps she feels rejected because I didn’t talk to her when I had a window of opportunity. Or maybe she’s interested but just nervous. Obviously, she’s aware of my presence. Then again, maybe she just thinks I’m a creep and hopes I’ll get lost. Is there any way to tell these things before I walk up to her and risk making a fool of myself?—J.M., Boston, Massachusetts
    Yikes. The energy you’ve wasted analyzing this situation could power every street lamp on the eastern seaboard. Quit waiting for the perfect moment, because it will never arrive. Make eye contact, smile, say hello and tell her, “I’ve seen you around for months and thought it was time to introduce myself. I’m sorry I didn’t do it sooner.” C’mon, man, this is a gimme. Ask her out for coffee. We can’t imagine she’ll turn you down, but if she does, a quick sting is better than smoldering regret.
     
    Two girls at once
    A few of my fraternity brothers like nothing better than to double-team a girl. It’s gotten to the point where they would rather tag-team someone than have sex with her alone. I prefer one-on-one or maybe two girls at once. The last thing I want to see while having sex is my buddy’s erection. Am I being too uptight?—J.W., Kansas City, Kansas
    It’s not unusual to want sex with a woman only when she’s not fucking another guy. It sounds like your buddies have been watching too much porn, or perhaps they feel they are performing a public service for women who fantasize about pulling a train. Whatever the case, don’t fret about this; take advantage. In their absence you have more old-fashioned girls to choose from.
     
    Meeting women in class
    Can the Advisor provide any tips on how to meet women in the classroom?—J.M., Shreveport, Louisiana
    You’ve come to the right place. Back in the day, we put the stud in studious. College classrooms are ideal places to meet women—you have a common interest (passing the course), plus you see each other a few times each week. That gives her time to size you up, and it gives you repeated chances to chat. Here are two lines that worked for us: “Hi” and “Is this seat taken?” Introduce yourself, ask if she enjoys the class, find out where’s she from—you know the drill. If she’s friendly (or, hell, even if she’s not), ask if she’d like to make a study date or have a cup of coffee. If she declines, express disappointment, but don’t give up. Continue to say hello. You may grow on her—and if she misses a class, you can offer a copy of your notes with your number at the top.
