Dear Robyn and Skippy. I could use some advice! I am a gay man whose best friend is a straight female. I feel like she is overly attached to me, and wishes she could have a relationship with me. She wants to do everything with me which is fun sometimes, but there are those times when it’s just annoying as I require some me time to do whatever I want to do. I have tried to tell her that she … Continue reading →

Dear Chris Cross, This dilemma has no easy answer. Can you be friends with your ex? Yes. But those Jello Shots are going to quickly transform into the “friends with benefits” zone. I hate to say it, but the reason this happens is because it is far too easy to slide into old habits. Let us explore this metamorphosis. Phase one: The Break Up The She-Demon is out of your life. She has been exorcised back to the gates of … Continue reading →
Dear Robyn and Skippy, Now most guys out there will say, when asked, that at one point in their lives they dated the Devil. Very few men though, I have discovered, have found themselves in a similar position to mine. The day I found myself clutching a rosary, Bible held high, and next of kin on speakerphone, chanting Latin at the writhing, screaming, cursing form of what some would call my girlfriend, was the day I decided my father’s … Continue reading →
Dear Waiting Awkwardly, Cass sounds like a real pain in the ass. Pun intended. But, seriously, friendship can be a very complicated thing. This is a problem years in the making. It makes me question if Cass is even capable of being a “dear friend.” There is a fine line between friendship, acquaintanceship and merely tolerance. Do you have a true friend in Cass? This learned behavior of hers is something that cannot be changed, or at least not easily. … Continue reading →
Dear Robyn and Skippy, I have dear friend, lets call her Cassandra. I have known her for 10 years. Cass runs on her own time zone, nearly always 20-30 minutes late. I have waited in restaurants, theaters, exhibits, concerts. At first I thought I could get her to be on time by telling her that start times were 20 minutes sooner. She caught me in the act and it made her very angry. Cass likes to send me on to … Continue reading →
Dear Still Socially Awkward at 38, I am afraid there is no easy answer here. There should be a support group for something like this, though; and it would have to be something you didn’t have to RSVP to attend. It is good that you are aware you are an introvert. It is bad for your social life, I will agree with you on that. Your question is a bit vague, so I am going to attack it from a … Continue reading →
Dear Steadfast Lover, You are stuck in a continual emotional loop known as “The Honeymoon Phase.” Why are you stuck in this loop? Because you never got any further than a couple of months with this girl. “The Honeymoon Phase” can go on for months, or even years. Just to clarify, this phase of the relationship is when everything is so new and feels so euphoric that even when things go wrong, they still feel so right. My point is, … Continue reading →
Dear “At a Crossroads,” First of all, let me say that it is society that looks down on casual sex. And, although, there is a point where you do have to consider certain consequences of the STD variety, I see nothing wrong with sex of the casual nature. You are not dooming yourself. The saying “Why buy the cow, when you can get the milk for free?” is nothing but BS. OK, maybe not always, but it has never worked … Continue reading →
