Dear Ann Landers, I am a male escort working on my master's degree at a university in Washington, D.C. I take out women (usually my mother's age) and am well paid. There is no sex involved. These women simply need a decent-looking, well-dressed guy to take them to various social events at which they would feel ill at ease if not accompanied.
Very few friends know about my "moonlighting," which is the way I want it. I have met some interesting, intelligent women in my work, most of them widowed or divorced. Three of these women would like to marry me.
Marriage is out of the question. I am gay. Should I tell them? It would be easier than trying to make up reasons for my lack of interest. Yes or no, Ann? -- Mr. X in D.C.
Dear Mr. X, No. A negative response to the marriage proposals is adequate. There is no need to go into detail about your personal life. Meanwhile, don't be ashamed of your part-time job. The older women are no doubt grateful for the company. And escorting them to social events is a lot easier than cleaning office buildings at night.
Hi! It's Margo here. I'd love to know what you think of the letters -- and the answers!
Also, any additional thoughts you might have. Thanks!
Reader Comment
"Kathleen Decker's" comment is not a response in this column. It's the same old BS comments about the phony Dr. Odunga idiot. Put it on your Facebook page, you lying idiot not on this advice column because it's as false as you are! I hope your husband cheats on you and leaves you again!

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:
Dear Readers, , I decided to collect peanuts as memorabilia of the president. I have now nearly 350 pounds of peanuts from the Carter years. Since I didn’t get started until some time after he became president, I have only 26 pounds of 1977 peanuts, but I have more than 100 pounds for each of the years 1978,1979 and 1980. My thought was that these peanuts would in time become very valu-able to collectors on the lookout for interesting remembrances of past presidents. I have had little bags printed with President Carter’s pic-ture on them and the year of the peanuts. Each bag holds approximately 2 ounces. For those who want some-thing special, one of my neighbors has embroidered some lovely cloth bags with President Carter’s full name and the date the peanuts were packaged. Recently, the price of peanuts (and peanut butter) has skyrocketed. I could make a very nice profit on my peanuts if I sold them at today’s prices. Frankly, I could use the money. However, I have really gotten attached to them. Please tell me what to do.
