DEAR ABBY: I joined the Air
Force when I was 19, so I got a
lot of practice saying “no." Most
of the guys 1 dated said they
didn't believe the rumors that I
didn't put out, and I knew that
some of them dated me Just to

around to sex, I was pretty
straightforward and said I didn't
believe In premarital sex.
Sometimes the guys would get
angry, but they never pushed
me. A couple of guys called me a
tease, but in the military any girl
who doesn't put out is either a
"tease" or a "lesbian." That gets
the male ego off the hook for his
failure to conquer.
My most successful phrase
was used when the kissing got
