Peter/Kevin,

I realized this morning that your name isn’t actually Kevin OR Peter, but I hope you know how much I appreciated your support on Friday night.

Hopefully I’ll someday learn your real name (preferably not while lying on top of a traffic cone), and we can talk about something other than trash cans.

—N.

Dear Dr. Date,

I’m going to a party hosted by a girl I impregnated last year (nipped it in the bud). My girlfriend is mad and jealous. What should I do?

—Fertile Myrtle

 

Leggo My Preggo!,

There’s really not enough information here for me to even begin computing the issue. Are you still friends with the girl you got pregnant? Are you friends with your girlfriend? Is the former future baby mama friends with the current future baby mama?

Dr. Date,

Last time I had sex with my boyfriend, he prefaced it with “Let’s make a baby.” What should I do?

Dr. Date,

I’m home from the U for the summer after my first year in college, and my girlfriend from high school is suffocating me. I don’t think she’s acting any different than before, but it just seems more constrictive after a year away at school. She reminds me of my parents nagging me when I come home. How can I tell her that I am not the same I was in high school and that she needs to give me more space than she did when we spent every day together?

Dr. Date,

My boyfriend can be really obnoxious in public;  at a concert, he’s  the guy yelling dumb things at the stage, and everyone stares at us. I’ve tried to tell him to stop after he does it, and I never laugh, so I don’t know why he keeps doing it. It’s embarrassing, but I think telling him that would really hurt his feelings. What do I do?

—Dating That Guy
