C'mon woman, step up your game

Steve & Mia also counsel a woman who wants to step out on her current beau.

Q:I'm involved with a man whose sex drive is getting on my nerves. He wants it on the floor, the table, the chair, etc. I told him I am most comfortable in bed and am tired of rug burns and backaches. When I say that, he gets all distant and ignores me. What's my next step?

Steve: Step? Like the steps to your bedroom? Or the basement steps? Are they carpeted? How about the ceiling?

Mia: Girl, buy yourself a few faux-fur throw rugs and get on that floor. A lot of women would kill to have a guy like yours. But you want to be all staid and prissy and just do it in the bed? Yawn.

Step your game up, girlfriend.

Q: I made a commitment to a man I've been dating for five months, but suddenly I met another who's sweeping me off my feet. I don't want to end up with the wrong person, but I no longer feel right about exclusively dating the man I'm now seeing. Dare I try to test the new guy out without telling my current guy?

Steve: No. Honesty is rare and the first guy will be impressed if you give it to him straight. Then date the new guy, too, and see how it goes. If guy No. 1 loves you, he'll likely try to win you over against his new rival.

Mia: Rookie mistake. Haven't you ever heard the phrase, "no ring no thing?" Tell guy No. 1 that you no longer want to be exclusive and then start seeing guy No. 2. In the future, if marriage in the near term is your goal, don't commit to any man without an engagement ring and a formal proposal.
