Or, How I Learned To Answer More Questions In A Jif.
The other day on my boyfriend's computer I saw that he had messaged a girl on Facebook, begging her to video-chat with him, and telling her how hot he thought she was when they knew each other freshman year of college. Is this a deal breaker?
RUN!
My long dist BF of almost 2 years claims this female friend is just "another bro"... but he's w/her every other day and talks about her constantly. He even recently spent two days with her as she recovered from a VERY minor surgery, yet wouldn't do the same for me. Worrisome, right?!
Right. RUN!
My 49yo boyfriend thinks everyone wants me, asks me constantly about who I see and talk to every day. I know he loves me but his jealousy and insecurities are ruining our relationship. He has no reason not to trust me. What can I do?
Hmm, what can you do? Let me think. Oh wait, I know--RUN!
I've been casually dating a guy for a month. He's gentlemanly and mature in every aspect. He says that he wants to get to know me but he can't consider seriously dating me unless I lose some weight (I'm overweight). Thoughts?
Yes, here's a thought: RUN! (And I don't mean so you can lose weight, although you probably will.)
I like a guy and I think he likes me, but he told me that he intends to get engaged to my niece, even though he's not convinced about her. He makes me feel so special. What do you recommend I do?
I recommend that you RUN! And once you get a few miles away, stop and call your niece and tell her to RUN too.
My lover of four months left me without a word. I ran into him recently sitting in his truck outside a bar alone after hours. I was concerned so I checked on him. He told me to get away from his truck and hit me four times with his door. Am I wrong to be worried?
Yes. Instead of worrying you should be RUNNING before he hits you with the car door again.
If your ex got married to another woman (me) after his first wife left him because he always cheated and he fathered two kids outside of the marriage, then decides to come back to you and apologize, what do you think he wants?
I think he wants to pork you, but if you do what I want--RUN!--then he won't be able to do what he wants. Yeah, I know people say "F*ck me running!" but that's just an expression. It's not possible, trust me.
I think I'm in love with a boy I can't have (he is with someone else, but that's not the only reason). I feel this joy surging in my heart whenever I think of him. He tells me he thinks I'm attractive & brilliant. How do I cope with the reality before me?
You RUN until the reality is behind you and you find a new reality.
My boyfriend still talks about his ex all the time even though they broke up two years ago. They were together four years. He even brings her up when we make love. What can I do to feel less insecure about her?
You can RUN!
My guy criticizes me all the time, and it's killing my self-esteem. How can I get him to stop?
By RUNNING! Okay, technically it won't make him stop criticizing you, but you won't be around anymore to hear it, so the end result is the same.
When my man and I started dating we were 20 and lived at home and went to school, so it was okay, but since then I've graduated, moved out, and started my career while he hasn't. It's making me less attracted to him. Is there an okay way to tell your man that being 25 and living at home without a career is NOT sexy?
Yes, you say, "Being 25 and living at home without a career is NOT sexy!" While RUNNING!

i LOVE how you found 25 different ways to give the same answer :D brilliant!
It's amazing how many problems can be solved by running. I approve of this post.
It really is OK for a person to be single and alone, and being alone is infinitely better than being with someone who doesn't treat you with love, kindness, and respect. It's too bad more women don't realize that. I suppose it is, in part, a problem with self-esteem. We are made to feel that if we are not part of a couple we are somehow inferior. As a result, some women hold onto a relationship, no matter how bad it is, just so they can be part of a couple. Good advice here, Cary. I hope these ladies listen to it.
Wonderful, WA. :D
Love it!
Okay, I gotta wonder about the woman who still thought she had a chance when the guy told her he wanted to get engaged to her niece... I'm just really curious as to how she rationalized that one. If you're reading this, I'd really like to know... I don't judge, but I just don't see how you got there.
I need to learn to run faster, then, and bring some friends in the course, because THEY need to RUN but don't.

Tell him to GTFO. Lose weight. Strut around him. Don't give in. Profit!
Hey hey now, I think we need to go easy on the guy in the last question. In this economy, plenty of guys are still living at home without careers at 25! And isn't it shallow to break up with a guy just for that reason!?
LMAO and to tears at the one below. Great Cary!
