At Blush, we often receive a lot of questions from readers and friends seeking relationship advice. So we sought the advice of a real-life man with plenty of dating and love experience. We’ll call him the Lone Ranger because he’s a straight shooter. He tends to tell it like it is, so sensitive souls just looking for reassurance should look elsewhere. Please submit questions by clicking on comments below and the Lone Ranger will get back to you!

Question: Let’s say a girl has met a guy, and chances are they will fall in love and get married. He is “the one..” well…if the number of men she has slept with in the past is fairly high, and he asks her how many, is it ok to lie? Does it really matter?

Lone Ranger: He’s not “the one” until there is a ring (wedding, not engagement) on your finger. LIE until there is. Add up the ones that you know may come up in conversation and use that number…This includes the occasional one night stand. Then others can pop up over the years of your long happy marriage. You’re not a whore anymore. (hopefully)

Question: If a guy and a girl are seeing each other, and stop talking for no apparent reason, nothing bad happened, is it ok to call the guy a month or two later just to say hi?

Lone Ranger: Only if “hi” means “come over and have sex with me.” The call has to be in the evening, and you have to invite him over. If he does not come over, never call again. Quick reality check: You didn’t “stop talking for no apparent reason” You stopped talking because he didn’t want to date you.
