Can My Escort Friend Date Nice Guys?
Q: I think my friend is an escort. Her job-which she barely works at- is really sketchy. Seems like all she does is have male clients taking her out to dinners and on trips.

My Father is Dating a College Girl
Q: This is really embarrassing. My 53 year old dad has hit an all-time-low. He is dating a 22 year old college girl who is younger than me! He’s a smart, super-successful surgeon, and I can’t believe he thinks there is nothing wrong with this. Do you think he is being taken advantage of? How can I tell him I think this is gross without ruining our relationship? A: When you and your father can sit down for a nice, relaxed conversation - preferably…

Feeling Invisible
Q. The guy I've been dating has this really annoying habit of forgetting all about me when he goes on a business trip or vacation. We keep fighting because he gets annoyed when I complain that he doesn't promptly return my calls. Am I unreasonable to think he doesn't care if he doesn't respond in a day or two no matter what? A. It is not unreasonable to think that people can find a few minutes in even the busiest of days to get…
