Dear Fran,
My good friend (let's call him Jack) wants to marry me. I've told
him I just want to be friends and he says he accepts that but he is
constantly sulking when I'm around him (and he always wants to hang
out with me or talk to me on the phone). What should I do to get him
to back off and get a life?

Answer:
Dear Miss 'Excessive Baggage',
I agree your friend (let's call him Jack) needs to get a life or at
least a hobby other than you. You're much too young to be the object
of Jack's lust and affection. I suggest you invite him out on a date
with you and your other boyfriend. I actually did that once and it
worked like a charm. The clinging vine was quite surprised to
discover he was the three in "three's a crowd"!
