Sorry, I can't help but laugh (and comment) when I read that. While I'm sure it's a popular concensus, I don't see how pandering is good advice.
You have to bust someone's balls at some point here, or else no one will take you seriously!

I thought credibility as an advice columnist came from giving credible advice.

Then again, I'm not in the industry. So I wouldn't know these things.

Here on LGK it's a fine line between taking something seriously, which I try and do, or acting like a total smart ass, which just comes naturally.

I try to be as honest and forthcoming as possible in dealing with the advice. At least I REALLY try to answer in the same spirit the question was asked.

So if you ask a question as a smart ass, expect a little of it back.

If you ask seriously, you will get a serious reply.

I fail to see where me asking you why I sleep around so much (you requested people ask real questions, so I did) consitutes me being a smart ***.

My reply to your subsequent response, yes.

But to be fair, it amused me.

I think we all assumed it was sarcasm. You having the opportunities to "sleep around" is simply not that believable.

Thanks for the words Carla and Sleestak It took several bad (some not BAD, but just not what I was looking for) dating experiences, but I think I'm finally starting to believe what my friends have been saying all along! haha Maybe the online thing isn't such a good idea after all!

I have a question: Why do insecure males always instigate a conversation by asking, "What's up, boss?" Or how's it going, boss? Or need a hand with that, boss?"

If you are patient, it could be great. I have at least one close friend I know who got married to a guy she met online. I am sure other people I know met online, but at the time it maybe wasn't the hip place to meet that it is now, so they kept it low key.

One of the most common question my single friends have is "where do I meet someone outside of a bar" and there is no simple answer. You could meet someone at the grocery store, the beach , in line at the mall, at a class, the gym, etc. but the key is being in an environment where you feel comfortable approaching someone.

I wouldn't give up on the dating web sites, but maybe give yourself a few more ground rules about how things should proceed so you get the most out of it.

For most people I'd imagine the novelty would wear off eventually and they'd want to find someone to settle down with.

I guess Dustin Brown doesn't know what love really is either.
I believe Dustin Brown married a non-celebrity and someone he has known for a long time. I think that is great and I admire that.

Stoll's situation on the other hand is totally different. She was recently divorced from that old man who has that raspy voice. Take things slower! Your in LA and too many opportunities are going to be out there. I did not say he had to get strange all the time. He has been in Edmonton, he has not seen anything yet!

If you believe this marriage will work then you may need to hit the alarm clock. The odds are the marriage will last for about 2.5 years. The kids are going to be effected the most. Another divorce, sounds great!

At least her kids will have a older brother to play with!

Funny you say that. I was on the phone with my grandma the other day and she was asking if I've met any girls lately. Then she asked if I had gone out, you know, to try and meet girls. I said I was at a bar just the night before and she tells me that I can't meet nice girls at bars, they could be drunks! I told her, how do they know I'm not a drunk? Hahaha.
