Classic girl move. Back in our single days, I always tried to drill into my guy friends’ heads that “I don’t want to date anyone right now” is just code for “I don’t want to date you ever.” It’s not an invitation to continue pining or license to get angry when she finds someone she’s actually interested in.

Regarding the girl with the boyfriend that has health issues. I definitely see where she’s coming from. It sounds like her boyfriend and my girlfriend have the same disease or something similar. There are definitely challenges to dating someone with such a disease, especially when you can’t really go on a dinner date…

Re EE: she didn’t post JOHN SMITH HAS CROHN’S DISEASE AND CAN’T GIVE ME DICK AND LIVES AT 123 FAKE STREET, it is an advice column and she asked for advice.

I’d bet she’s not interested and is just sparing his feelings. I’ve seen this situation more times than I can count

“harder than Russian trigonometry”, I’ll save this one for later and use it after a romantic dinner

The last article was very insightful. I’m kind of the same way, though I’m 25 now. I tend to just focus on school and work while everyone I know around me is starting to get married, or have had relationships for years now. It’s not that its really not my thing, I guess I just haven’t found anyone(else) that really…

No chronic disease is real and the person in the first post sounds like they have Crohn’s or UC. Something you definitely don’t want to have.

Well, I guess Eugene, OR must be one of those five places, because I can get around just fine on public transportation, here.

So people who are disabled in such a way that they are physically incapable of driving are lazy wastes of space who need to get on with their lives?

DAMN you’re good. I love advice columns(guilty pleasure), and have been getting REALLY annoyed with Mallory Ortberg’s new Dear Prudence responses, because she seems to completely ignore specific issues brought up in questions...

First, Dr. Nerdlove, I love you. I’m sure I’m not alone here.

Second, to the ED part, I think every guy thinks it will never happen to them, then it happens to every guy (eventually, anyway).

Thanks!
