I disagree with the writer who said pick a style and stick to it...variety is the spice of life, with an attitude like that person has, we would still be hunting with muzzleloaders and driving horse-drawn carriages.

Get a life and enjoy change every now and then. And that is my two cents:-)

Dear Friend,

And I do mean friend - you seem most logical in your approach and I am quite glad you were able to keep it so succinct.

I just had the most awful date! He invited me out to dinner and then he tried to pay for the dinner as soon as we ordered it. You'd think we were at McDonalds!

Then, he tried to eat the butter - said he thought it was ice cream - duh!

The worst part was when he spilled ketchup on his sleeve - and licked it off!

Now, he says he wants to go out again. How do I tell him I never want to be in the same place with him again - ever!

Horrified date

Dear Date,
