Fight or Flight

Dear Dr. Sadie,

I'm a gay man. I've been seeing the same guy for three months now and I'm starting to fall for him....hard. However, he says he's not in a place in his life to be in a relationship. But, I'm not willing to give up so easily...even though I know I'm not the only person he's seeing (although I'm fairly certain we have a much stronger connection than he does with the other boy). He says he cares a lot about me and never wants to let go of my hand when we say good bye. Should I protect myself from heartache and just drop things now? Or should I press on and see where this story can go?

Yours Truly,
Mr. Too Much Love To Give

You should find a new friend.

Who's The Father?

I have a friend who is pregnant, but she doesn't know who the father is. What should she do?

Signed,

Concerned Friend

She should name it Figgy. She can look for the daddy over there, behind the couch. Maybe she'll find him there. I think she should go drive to the park with her little sister, and they should go on the swings. And the monkey bars. And they should go on the slide. They should go on the merry go 'round. And the see-saw. Maybe they can go to a friend's house. Maybe the daddy will be there. His name is going to be Anna.

Where's the daddy? I think he's in the closet.
