Just One Nice Little Shout-Out

For Bummed-Out Boy from John: "Hi, BG, hope you don't mind me seconding your advice to the guy whose ex is getting married -- I've been there. The trick is to be as mature as possible when you're interacting with her or her family, and as immature as you feel like around other people. Rant. Scream. Cry. Whatever makes you feel better. Be absolutely furious. In a way, this is like being dumped all over again (not sure why, but it is, at least in the way it tramples your self-worth). Give yourself time to grieve. Then go out and find someone else."


Whatever Happened to Nuevo Fabio (ne Lamb to the Slaughter)?

He writes: Hey B-Girl, you asked for an update on my date last week, so here it is. (I was the "She bared her skin ... but not her heart!" guy, remember me?) Well, the date went only so so. We talked a little, "I work here. Oh, really? I went to school there. Oh, how interesting" . . . yadda yadda. She was nice and all, and we got along okay, but no big ZAPPO! sparks like with the bare skin girl. Oh well. She has my number, so maybe she'll call -- or not. No biggie. When I offered her my number she didn't reciprocate, and I usually consider this an "I'm not interested" sign. Maybe you could do a column on that one. I'm not sure I'm interested either, so it's not like it hurt my feelings.

As a side note, I also asked out another girl who I've been out with a couple times as friends. Thanks to your column, there is no loft-building or anything for this guy. Via e-mail I said I wanted to get together just the two of us for dinner/movie, gave her my phone number, and said to call if she was interested. I have a feeling she might just go for it, but if she doesn't that will be fine too (she only answers her e-mail about once a week, so I won't know her response for a while).

I've been running into a lot of cuties lately, so I'm convinced that another ZAPPO! girl will come along, and I'm willing to be patient.

Gee whiz, I'm feeling so healthy it's almost SICK!
