The Singles Scene

by Sarah Smart

Q.  I am currently dating a guy who also happens to live in the same building I do. The problem is that he seems to watch my every move through his window.  Every time we talk, he tells me every time he sees me, which is driving me crazy.  I think he’s jealous and spying on me.  He is very easy to anger, and I don’t know how to mention it without setting him off.  What would you do?

A.  Find someone else to date. Obviously, he’s too close for comfort, and his “spying” and temperament doesn’t sound like it makes a good mix.

Q.   I was dating this guy who I was really into, when he announced that he wanted to end the relationship with me because of my “need to party” with my girlfriends. He explained that when he’s in a relationship, he doesn’t appreciate women who can’t be exclusive in a relationship with him. My girlfriends and I get together once a week to go out, and he doesn’t like it.  Therefore, I decided to forego my weekly outings to please him, which I enjoy, because I don’t want to lose him.  Do you agree with my decision?  My friends think I’m an idiot.

A.  No. I don’t.  But most importantly, do you agree with it?  Sounds like you’re making a compromise that’s uncomfortable for you.  Personally, I wouldn’t do it.  I would never sacrifice my personal enjoyment for a guy who wants to possess all my time.
