Our parents helped buy it so that we could come home on weekends from college. We've had it for a year and have had no problems, until now. I'm going to summer school and my brother has a summer job at home. I live a mile from the campus, which is about the dis­ tance he has to travel to work. Our parents have told us to resolve the car situation, but we can't get together. We both feel that we need it. Any ideas? Ted Dear Ted: Bikes are stylish these days. So is walking and jogging. Buy and share a bike while you rotate your transportation meth­ ods. ' DearCoBw; How do you overcome shy­ ness? All my friends are dating and most of them have offered to get me a blind date. I'm hardly able to talk to girls I've known all my life without feel­ ing uneasy and wondering how to keep the conversation going. What would I say to a perfect stranger? Shy Dear Shy: Start with the easiest and friendliest word in the language, a simple "hello." Don't try to think of something to say. Think of someone other than your­ self. Meeting new people can be fun. Many of them are interest­ ing, some may be shy, others self-conscious--but they are all people, and people respond to friendliness.
