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?

Lover Of Cray,

Dr. Date,

Dr. Date,

My guy and I are really great friends with another couple. The four of us are really good friends but lately the other couple has kept bugging us about doing a foursome. We’re flattered but we’re not ready for something like that. The other couple just won’t let it go, though, and it’s becoming awkward. How can we firmly tell them “no” without ruining the friendship we share?

—Just Friends

Just Swingers?,

Dr. Date,

I keep seeing this one girl all around on campus. She is a friend; I am digging her and was wondering: Is it just a coincidence that I keep seeing her everywhere, or is something beyond my control hinting at something in the future?

Written In The Stars,

The universe is telling you something, and it’s very simple: Talk. To. Her.

Dear Dr. Date,

As a long time reader, first time writer, I felt you were the best resource for my quandary. Over Spring Jam I got real weird and ended up hooking up with a freshman lady — twice. Based on the slew of texts she has been sending me, I’m getting the feeling that she wants this to be a regular thing. I, however, do not. How do I nip this in the bud while remaining moderately respectful?

Dear Cradle Robber,

Dr. Date,

I met this really cute guy in class, and we’ve gone out on two coffee “dates.” The problem is that on our second one, I saw him smoking a cigarette while he was waiting for me. I couldn’t get it out of my head throughout the entire date, and I could easily smell it after we had gone inside. He seems nice otherwise, but I think smoking is just so gross and unattractive. I can’t date a smoker! My friends think I should cut things off. What would you do?

—Sick Of Cigs

Get Ciggy With It,

Dear Dr. Date,

I feel like I won the breakup. What’s a good way to let my ex know that I’m doing much better than they are?

—The Better Half

Braggier Half,

Yeah, awesome, good for you. We’re all super happy for you winning the breakup because, you know, that’s totally a thing, and you seem like a real winner with a fantastic personality.

Dr. Date,

I am  currently a junior in college and just got together with my first-ever boyfriend. We first started dating when we were both 13 and have been on and off till now. The last time we hooked up was when we were 17, and I remember his junk being amazing.

We recently hooked up again, and he wants to get serious with me, but it wouldn’t get up. No matter what I did, he stayed soft. He seemed like he was enjoying it, but nothing would happen. Help! I don’t want to get into a serious relationship with him if he can’t even get turned on.
