\Dear Abby
Saves Her Kisses
For Her Brothers

I know, because I'm married to a great guy who just can't f

seem to get the hang of it. And I've been kissing him the
way I'd like to be kissed for ten years. -

I'm not complaining, and I wouldn't trade my husband for
the world, but when J think of some of those super kissers I

dated, I emit a secret sigh, Sign me...

DEAR HOT: Don't give up. Tell your husband what he's
doing right, and what he's daing wrong, asd what be's net
doing that he should be doing. Your great guy haa the same
equipment those super kissers had. All he needa fs come

DEAR ABBY: My wife of 29 years hates love-making. She
often says she finds the whole idea “revolting.” In fact; she
doesn't even want to be kissed. .

The odd thing is that when she is with any of her three
brothers, it's kisay, kissy, kissy, all the time. Good mornin
kisses, good night kisses, and hello and goodbye kisses. (And
sho kisses them in between times, too.)

Although I have never strayed from the straight and
narrow, I know that women find me attractive. I mention
this because you usually take the wife's side in any marital
squabble. ‘ :

What do you make of this situation? E am not jealous. I am

MYSTIFIED IN OAKLAND

NEAB MYSTIFIED: Your wife probably fears that your
kisees are just the
~ event—an unlikely event with her brothers.

She needs cowzseling on tho role of sex in a “auecexfal”’

(sic) marriage,

DEAR ABBY: Apparently you never dated someone who
bestowed “ishy kisses,” like the girl who wrote you about a
poor kisser she dated.

You said, “Kiss him the way you'd like to be kissed. Then
hang on to your hat!" me

Not always so! 1 am happily married, but when F was
dating I enjoyed kissing so much I always looked forward ta
the end of the evening. Some guys can kiss, and some can't.
Some can eventually learn and some absolutely never learn.

te the “revolting” main -

DEAR ABBY: Without commenting on the legal, moral,
or sotial aspects of the situation, here are the facts:

My son and his girl friend, who are living together, have
anbopneed that they are going to have a baby. They are very
happy about it. The girl's friends have “showered” her wit!
gifts, As far as I know, the prospective parents have no
plans to marry in the immediate future. .

My question: How do I announce the birth of my firat
grandchild? Is there a way I can show my love and accep-

& tance of this. child—just aa I love and accept my ,

son—without seeming too inconsiderate of others who may
who may have a strong opposition to such a situation? Sign

me...

DEAR ABBY: I have a problem J can't solve alone. I am
very much attracted to a handsome New Hampshire state
trooper I've seen, but I don’t know how to meet him.

His license number is 206. Do you think if I were to speed

and get stopped the next time I saw him, it might help? I :

don't want to be tacky.
DESPERATE IN KEENE

DEAR DESPERATE: I don't recommend breaking the
law in order to break the ice, If you don't want to be “tacky,”
you'd better find someone who knows him—and something
about him, Your handsome No. 206 may have a wife and six
