Dear Ann Landers,
while back, you wrote a column about the lines guys give girls when they want to break down their resistance. It made a terrific impression because five of those lines had been tried on me. I have a younger sister who needs to see that column. I wish I had saved it. Please run it again. -Molly in New Brunswick

Dear Molly,
That column was the result of my asking teenage girls to tell me the lines that were used on them. I received more than 18,000 responses. Here it is-thanks for asking: From Sharon, Pa.: What are you afraid of? Don't be a baby. It's part of growing up. Louisville, Ky.: If you really loved me, you would. That's the way people express their true feelings. It's been going on since the world began. Honolulu: It's very painful for a guy to be in this condition and not get relief. You got me all heated up. If you're any kind of woman, you'll take care of me. Marshalltown, Iowa: It will be good for your complexion. You should have seen mine before I did it. Honest, it's better than any medicine. Carbondale, 111.: You're the most exciting chick I've ever met in my whole life. I have never wanted anybody the way I want you. Fort Lauderdale, Fla.: Life is so uncertain. Who knows whether you will be alive tomorrow? It would be awful if you died in an accident without experiencing the greatest thrill of all. Mexico City: You're awfully uptight. Sex is a great tension-breaker. It will make you feel relaxed. Gatineau, Quebec: I want to marry you someday, and we should find out if we are sexually compatible. Rochester, N.Y.: I've heard rumors you're a lesbian. If you aren't, prove it. Nassau, The Bahamas: I promise we won't go all the way unless you want to. I'll stop whenever you say. Harrisburg, Pa.: You have nothing to worry about. I'm sterile. Toronto: I know you want it as much as I do, but you're afraid of your reputation. I swear I will never tell anybody. It will be our secret. Shrewsbury, N.J.: It isn't sex I'm after. I'm really in love with you. If you get pregnant, I'll marry you. Durham, N.C.: You have the body of a woman. Mother Nature meant for you to have sex. You're ready for it. I also received some letters from boys. Here are the lines the girls used: Garden City, N.Y.: I've been seeing a psychiatrist. He says I'm too inhibited. He has advised me to have sex. Greenwich, Conn.: I have terrible monthly cramps. The doctor said sex would be helpful. Of all the guys I know, you're the one I want to help me with this medical problem. [P.S. The guy said "No."]
