Dear Alice
Dear Alice,
I can’t seem to get more than one date with a woman. I always get the cold shoulder after taking them to dinner. What am I doing wrong?
Roger, Spokane, WA.
Dear Roger,
Do you make them pay for their meals? The fact that you can get different women to go to dinner with you tells me you’re either well-off, and/or not that bad looking. The issue? You could be a dick. Or worse, you could be a fool; that’s a dick who doesn’t know he’s a dick. You may have bad breath, or bad personal hygiene in general. You may be an insufferable bore, always talking about yourself. Pose this question to someone close to you, someone who is not afraid to tell you the truth.
Alice Gibney, Dublin, Ireland
