How do I know when it's ok to flirt with a married woman, if it seems like she's checking me out? - Michael, Brooklyn
U shouldn't flirt wit married women! If she's attracted to you or wants 2 engage in some kind of relationship with u she will do all the flirting. Most women would think that pursuing a married woman is morally wrong, but if a "married" woman is looking outside of her marriage for companionship, something's definitely wrong within the home! Proceed with caution!!! We don't wanna be responsible for no players getting shot up! - Pretty Ricky


My current guy isn't a boyfriend yet, and I know a lot of girls like him, and he might just want to be that single guy that can mess around with everyone, but I want him for myself. Should I tell him, or is he going to run away?
- Alexis, Oakland
If he's young, he's probably not ready to settle down and if u try to force him you'll most likely end up getting hurt in the process. If an older man makes you feel this way, he's not someone you want to be with either. U should try and connect with someone who makes u feel like you're the only one. You should probably take these steps!

First, ask yourself can you handle what comes with, being involved with someone who talks to a lot of women. (Higher probability of STDs is one, in case u were stuck.) Then ask yourself, are you really ready for a full fledged commitment.... probably not! You should look for someone who's into you just as much as u are into him! P.S. Pretty Ricky don't cheat! - Pretty Ricky


What do you do when you get relegated to the "friend zone"? Do you think there's a way to get out of there and date the person you're crushing on, or is it better to just move on? - Dawne, Miami
U should never sweat no dudes! To all the players out there, go get a J.T. Money CD and quote, "If a hoe wanna hoe, nigga let her go." To the girls out there that's stuck on stupid in love and can't see the truth; try flirting with one of his friends to see how he reacts and make your move from there. It'll be an obvious decision! If u take this route make sure u got some mace on standby and remember the golden rule; everything is a weapon!!!! -Pretty Ricky


What's the best Christmas present to get for my woman? -Sean, Philly
Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
If u ballin on a budget, WAL-MART has some on CLEARANCE!!!
Happy holidays from ya boys Pretty Ricky Ricky Ricky!
