Dear Prudie,

I had an experience recently that I'm not sure how to deal with. A friend of my daughter's was at our house, and I gave her a ride home. During the trip she was asking me a lot of sex questions ... such as, "Do you think it's OK to have sex with an older man?" and "Is it normal to 'play with yourself'?" The looks she was giving me suggested she was talking about me--and her. She is only 15, but the body is quite mature. When we got to her house, she hugged me and gave me a kiss (tongue and all). Now I can't get her out of my mind! I'm sure she wants to have sex with me.

Dear C.,

A few words come to my mind ... Lolita ... and jail. If this happened as you say, the kid is big trouble and wildly precocious. Or maybe she saw American Beauty too many times. To protect yourself, in all ways, do not allow any situation to occur where you are alone with that girl. As for "getting her out of your mind," do understand that your daughter's friend's "plans" for you make you the next thing to a science experiment. You would be a notch on her belt and perhaps a candidate for her father to make your life a living hell. Prudie suggests you not feel flattered by this proposition and get a grip. Quick.

Dear Prudence,

I feel a little odd asking for help with this, but you seem to have the savvy to get me through this awkward situation. It stands thus: I am engaged to be married next year to a wonderful young man. We're both thrilled, our parents are happy, and our mutual friends haven't quit telling us that they "told us so!" This seems like all is well. The problem, though, is bridesmaids. I want to have a fairly simple wedding, but there are two people I can't imagine getting married without (not counting the groom). One of them is my oldest friend, who is now going to college several states away. I have always promised her she would be in my wedding. The other one is my closest friend in college, who has been there with me through the last four tough years. They're both excited about it ... the thing is I don't know how I can pick one or the other as maid of honor. Is there any way I can split the title? What can I do?
