Dear Myra
Help! I'm being wooed by 36 suitors and I just don't know what to do!
It all started when my ex-boyfriend got the sack early last year. Things had become a little stale between us so I wasn't exactly heartbroken when he moved out. I started seeing Neil the very next day. But Neil was never into commitment. He told me so at the start. Not that I really wanted to; we never set the sheets on fire if you know what I mean. It was convenient for us both, and it was good for his image to be seen with a girl like me (I'm slim with a pert nose). Neil told me a few months ago that I deserved someone who really appreciated me and wanted to settle down. He said I should get myself a new beau by March 5th. Myra, I think Neil must have put the word around that I'm playing the dating game, because I now have 37 people trying to get me to go out with them. I'm just overwhelmed. The phone never stops ringing. I don't know who to choose. There are people from upriver and downriver, blokes and women, young ones and old ones. There are a few I'm not at all keen on. But some of the others could be quite nice. Having come to the conclusion that polygamy is my cup of tea, I've decide to choose nine of the 36 to settle down with. But Myra, which nine should I choose? Dear Desperate and dateful

Naturally, it's up to you, dear. I can't tell you who to choose. Make sure you find out all you can about them all. I've tried to get their opinions about a few issues dear to my heart. Not all of them got back to me. Of the ones who did, some seem quite nice. That Helen seems lovely, and Mark appears to be a decent young fellow. Cathy and Simon seem presentable enough. Ian could scrub up alright. Are we at nine yet? The main thing is that they have half a brain and their hearts are in the right place - extremely rare qualities in the singles scene these days. Good luck! You'll need it. Four years is a long time in a menage a neuf.
Yours
Myra
