DEAR ABBY: I have a big problem. It's my ex-boyfriend. We play in the same basketball club, so we see each other every day. He looks at me all the time. He can't take his eyes off me.
What does he want? And what should I do? He's very, very shy. -- CAROLINE IN BERELDANGE, LUXEMBOURG
DEAR CAROLINE: He keeps looking because he still finds you attractive. If you feel the same about him, be approachable without being too aggressive -- which can intimidate a shy young man. When you see him, smile and say hello. If you need help perfecting a shot, ask him for some pointers. After that, as the old saying goes, "The ball's in his court."
