Suspect your boyfriend is cheating on you - with your brother-in-law? Sick of being burned by bad boys, but no idea how to relate to a guy who says he’ll call and - gasp! - actually does? Caught the old ball and chain balling someone else?

Let syndicated advice columnist Blane Bachelor come to your rescue with advice that’s as real as her name. Ask a Bachelor appears weekly in Atlanta’s The Sunday Paper and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram’s online magazine, www.dfw.com.

A few things to keep in mind:

• While your anonymity is guaranteed, your letters may also be used as fodder for blog discussions, articles and dinner-party conversation.
• Letters may be edited for length or clarity.
• Blane will keep your identity under wraps and your e-mail address will not be sold to Nigerian spammers promising appendage enlargement through magic pills.
• If you don’t sign off with a catchy nickname, Blane will make one up for you.
• While it takes a lot to make Blane blush, this is a dating and relating column. She’ll answer questions about sex as they pertain to relationships, but save the explicit stuff for the XXX chat rooms, ok?
