SingleScenes

by Sarah Smart

Q.  Last month, I met a great guy at a party. We went out one time and had an evening that involved intimacy, which was out of the ordinary for me, but he never called again.  We made a connection and I know it and I’m certain he misplaced my number because he seemed too impressed not to call.  Do you think it would be stupid to track him down him and ask why I haven’t heard from him?   My friends all say I should call it a one night stand and forget about it.   But, I can’t sleep at night and I believe it was Fate that we met.  What do you think?

A.  I think you have nothing to lose. Just make sure you have your big girl panties on and your ego in check just in case he is no longer as thrilled as you are and expresses it.  But you never know, he may have some legitimate reason for not calling.

Q.  I am currently dating a man who’s my ideal in so many ways. He’s handsome, kind and generous, but he’s a mortician.  Whenever we’re out with my friends, I’m totally embarrassed when he says what he does.  My friends think I’m crazy and their distaste is obvious.  My family makes snide comments in his presence and I feel ostracized because of the association.  I am thinking about ending the relationship because I’m always embarrassed when we’re around other people.  When we’re alone, it’s perfect.  What do you think?

A.  I think your values are screwed up and you’re confused about what’s important and what isn’t. If you’re an adult, then you need to act like one.  Your choice in a mate should not be made to please family or friends.  Who cares what they think?  Good men are hard to find and it sounds like you’re about to give one away.  The most important thing is how you feel about him and how he feels about you, not what he does for a living.  Hello!
