Today I am posting two 'Kim to the Rescue' items because they are totally related. Read on to see what I mean...

Kim,

Your advice is amazing. I'm half Italian and half Middle Eastern. My parents will never understand. I have been dating the love of my life on-and-off for six years... He happens to be black. Any advice on how to break the news to them without them disowning me?

(By the way: Not every guy cheats. If I were a guy, and I had someone as incredible as you, I would never cheat. Reggie seems like an amazing man. Perfect couple.)

Sincerely,
MiddleEasternPrincess


Hey Kim,

I have some of the same issues. I have a dad that's Iranian, and he doesn't care about the race of people I date. But for some reason, my mom really wants me to date an Iranian guy because they don't believe in divorce. I think just because someone doesn't believe in divorce, that should be the only reason to marry them. I haven't ever really been attracted to an Iranian guy. And for some reason I just don't think I ever will be. I'm usually attracted to white guys just because that is who I have grown up around. My cousin is getting married soon, and his fiancee has a really attractive brother. He's white, and I really like him. Do you think I should go for it, or do you think I shouldn't? We aren't going to be first cousins or anything, so that really isn't an issue. I really need advice...

From,
Shaydah

Hey Kim,

I'm 16 and just wondering if you have any advice for me?... I met this guy named Amir and he was really cute, tall and I liked everything about him. Things progressed and we stared to like each other. He told me he liked me, but the problem is he moved away.  We still talk over MySpace. I try to get over him but it's so hard because the rest of the guys at my school are mostly probably jerks—but he wasn't. What should I do?

Peace out,

Ashley Rodriguez


Kim,

I love your style. I just wish I had your body...LOL. I just had a baby and I need to lose weight really soon for a wedding... What do you suggest??

Kim,

I met this guy who seems really sweet. The thing is I'm only 21 years old and he is 30! Do you think age difference is a major issue in relationships?

Deciding,
Anna

I haven't commented on ridiculous rumors about my relationship because they simply don't affect my relationship. However, I see many of you keep asking and wondering, so I have decided to set the record straight.

It may be time to address rumors about Reggie...

There is a girl named Najmah Brown and speculation that she is Reggie's "side chick." This is totally false and Reggie does not know this person nor has he even met her. There were also rumors about some drama at a basketball game. Again, none of this is true. There were even pictures of a random girl that mediatakeout posted saying she was Reggie's "side chick," which, again, is not true. The girl felt so bad she was messaging me on MySpace about how furious she was that they stole her picture!

You may have already noticed that there are never pictures of any of these alleged experiences.

For once in my life, I am in a committed, trusting relationship. Before Reggie, I always tended to date the wrong guy who just wasn't ready. If I would hear negative things about them my gut feeling inside was telling me it was true, but I believed the guy anyway. I have made so many poor choices and never knew when to let go, always was the girl to stay and try to trust again. But the reality is, a girl has a gift -- her intuition. So use it ladies and don't be that dumb girl who gets taken advantage of!

I no longer have those problems and trust me, it feels sooo good! I think I finally got it right this time!

By the way, we just landed in Florence today. Reggie met me here. The city is so romantic! By the time we leave here, how much do you want to bet the engagement rumors will swirl!

Dear Kim,

My ex moved [away] and is not responding to my emails even though he told me to email. I don't know whether that means he hates me. I really don't want him to hate me. Does that make me clingy? This seems like a dumb thing to be worrying about but it is really a main focus in my life right now. I feel really hurt... Please give me some advice. Tell me what you think about my situation.

Thanks Kim,
