    Back On The Prowl

    Q. I am 24 years old, single and starting to feel a little lonely in the relationship area. A lot of my friends are in serious relationships and I recently (well… 9 months ago) got out of a 4 1/2 year relationship. I think I handled it well and am over him, but I seem to be weird or timid about starting anything with someone else. I always find something wrong with them. What Should I do?!

    A.  This is the first time you’ve been single since you were 19?  Why the hell are you trying to get into another relationship?  You missed some prime years of potential sluttyness.  Now is the time to make up for it.

    If you insist on sticking to some sort of social decorum, the least you can do is play the field dating wise. So what if they’ve got a couple of unusual quirks?  No one’s asking you to marry them.  Surely you can endure a dinner date with a guy whose eyes are too close together.  Better to get over your nerves with these losers than with someone you’re really interested in.
