If you have to spend another minute trapped at his overprotective mother’s dining table, you might pluck your eyebrows out with a fork.
She has a history of emotionally catastrophic break-ups. You’re the newest addition to her track record, and you have nowhere to run.
He kisses like a basset hound.
No one ever said dating was easy — especially in college.
There are demanding course loads and too-tight schedules, but even still, it seems significant that others and all that’s in between ends up being the most stressful part of our lives.
Raging hormones lead to impulsive decisions, and it’s often impossible to get the blunt, bottom-line advice you need.
To make matters worse, your friends in your age group — though they try the best they can — aren’t any further ahead of the game than you are. Then there’s your parents, who still (embarrassingly) refer to dating as “going steady.” There is no such thing as Cupid, so you’re starting to see the brighter side of celibacy, thinking it’ll make your life less complicated.
Never fear — other young and equally naive adults are here to make sense of the trials and tribulations of your heart.
You can’t beat the game unless you play it, and sometimes it’s worth taking a timeout and asking for help.
We’ll take whatever you’ve got, whether it’s intimate or embarrassing, heartbreaking or juicy.
Feel free to pour out your hearts via e-mail to avenuealligator@gmail.com, and we’ll do our best to walk you through it and get you back on your dating feet.
