The doctor is still here for you, Timothy. I wouldn't abandon ship that easily. Even though you incessently take jabs at me, and now are defacing my photos, I'm still here for you.

I guess I'll have to email you whatever advice I can come up with for this one and hope it doesnt get me in trouble.

Love advice isn't my specialty; but I can tell you how to make a meeean batch of pancakes. mmm mmm.

I have finally found the secret congregation! Where my favorite miss Krys and the infamous Zed and Tim chill. Oh dear. I dont know what to do first; cry of laugh.

I know I didn't answer your question, but here's the only advice I have: DO NOT BOTHER WITH GIRLS. Most of us are all giggly and putrid and horridly boring. There are only a few worthwhile ones.. but it's a better idea to just go gay. Yes, you heard me. Just put on some nice platform patent leather shoes, a turtleneck, and learn all of the words to "My Fair Lady." Chicks dig gay guys. Or @ least I do.

Didn't anyone ever tell you? MONOGAMY IS UNNATURAL! The person who invented the word was either gay or was not being laid properly. Okay, I'm crude, I apologize.

Here's my advice.

LDR's are horribly complex and temperamental things. You could feel indifferent with the distance between, but one look at her again and you'll be a puddle on the floor. But man, this ice-skating chick sounds hella cool. So, here it is. You want to pursue the ice queen, but you can't do it with a clean conscience 'cause you have a girlfriend. Ditch the girlfriend. I mean, if it's not working, don't waste precious time on it. Life's too short to be wasted on bad relationships. It's not the end of the world so be a man and make a decision already!

Geez, and they say women can't make up their minds.

I know this is annoying, but I'm going to be annoying anyway. Aren't you 15, Tim? 15 is too young to be worrying about relationships. Have fun, play the field, enjoy your youth. The time to worry about a 'relationship' is when you're in your late 20's or 30's. Sheesh! As for the long distance girl, you obviously like her, so be friends with her-but the whole long distance boyfriend-girlfriend thing? It's tough, at any age (I am speaking from experiance here, my EX fiancee lived in Frankfurt, I lived in Washington DC, there was no way to work things out in the end, and that is why he is my ex) I don't think it is worth the stress. The ice skating girl? Sounds great too, so be friends with her-maybe something will happen, maybe not. You have plenty of other things to worry about during this time, don't complicate things with relationships, for heavens sake! Call on me anytime you need a relationship doctor, I'm happy to help :o)
