I've acquired more than a few stalkers at AA meetings, but the most repellent love note/poem that came from one was all about my boots and "french cream." I had to stop going to my regular meetings for quite a while.

Is your name from We Have Always Lived In The Castle? Love that book so hard.

What about the disabled? What about issues trans people face? What about the all global issues everywhere?

"Susan is the most literate, and writes the most, and writes about the things that matter most to working women in New York City: money, love, signing contracts, etc."

Agreed with everything you said. I find a lot of his "analysis" is just a pile of stereotypes and cliches - it's like reading a term paper from someone who's skilled enough at writing and bullshitting that it obscures the lack of real depth and research at first. But then you notice how empty it is.

Undoubtedly many older people have a thing for younger partners. But I wish we could get away from the assumption that all youngsters are universally appealing to older people. I am consistently pursued by young people - anywhere from teenagers to late 20's - who think I'm going to find them irresistible. The reality…

What kind of freelance writing? Articles, marketing copy?

Me too. I may have even cooed it.

Do you have long hair? Make sure that after rinsing your hair out in the shower, you lift up your hair and rinse off your back. All too often there's a layer of conditioner and residue remaining on the skin that can lead to acne.

I don't know how many dates you've had with her or what their spacing is, but just keep asking her out. Why do you feel "stuck?" Do you sense that she's not as serious? I'd proceed by scheduling more romantic dates, and as things get more physical, you'll have an idea how she feels about you.

Unfortunately a lot of people are cowards and can't bear to actually say, "I'm not interested"... so they keep up the "I'm just so busy, no really, I do want to see you, I'm just so busy!" for months until the other person gets the message.

I think this is actually a smart way to handle it.

Definitely go to the wake or funeral, and send a card, if you'd like. It will be appreciated by his family and will help your grieving process. If you do go through a receiving line, don't hesitate to tell his family how much you admired him and how kind he was. They will remember it forever, and it will help them…

Piranha is classic. Jerry O'Connell's finest performance, in my opinion.

I hate it too - namely because as a bisexual, I already have to draw very firm boundaries in my platonic relationships, since so many straight women seem to think I'm going to secretly lust for them if we're pals. Platonic is platonic - I don't want to taint it with any kind of romantic terms, even just joking around.

That Bill Clinton photo made me laugh.

I fake an emergency text - I don't care if it's obvious, it's the quickest and most face-saving way for everyone. Check your phone, frown, say, "Fuck... I'm sorry" and then make up a story. Your friend is coming over. Your boss just scheduled an early meeting. You just got bad news. Anything.

Those Lifetime movies can be hardcore! I saw one called "Sexting in Suburbia" that almost scarred me for life.

I'm always surprised by the advice to date up, age-wise, that appears in the comments. Apparently I live in Opposite World, because I know plenty of men in their 20's who are dying to find a serious partner and settle down, and plenty of 30 and 40somethings who are just as determined not to. Often because they have a…

Cox cut it out too.
