Bravo Dan! I am applauding your advice to the man with the flannel sheets. I am a woman and I feel that if you invite a vagina into your bed you should never be surprised by what happens to the sheets.

Dan! I absolutely loved your response to the douchebag about his white flannel sheets. Priceless! Keep up the great work!

The guy considering the vasectomy should keep in mind that there *is* a small chance of it failing or even regrowing, so he shouldn't rely on it as a sure-fire, absolute method of birth control. I'm living proof of that.

The girl got herself raped because she wanted attention and then was disappointed because her RAPE didn't cause enough drama? What the everloving FUCK, lady?

The caller who wondered if she was crazy bitch also showed poor judgement by getting drunk enough to not remember her conduct on the 2nd date. That would be enough for me to blow her off even without the making out with another person.

Cackled with delight at your response about the bloody sheets! You have impressed me and women everywhere. THANK YOU for making my afternoon!

About the father with a child who wants a vasectomy--I wanted a tubal ligation at 23. My doctor asked me to wait until 25. I did it at 28 (financial issues) and have never regretted it (and I met the love of my life a few months after. Lucky me, he never wants kids!)

Sometimes people know the don't want kids. There's nothing wrong with that.

I'm with serinpdx.

The caller who asked if she was a crazy bitch, has a crazy drinking problem. I'm not anti-alcohol. But this girl was SO drunk that she cannot remember who she made out with. She cannot remember whether she was about to go home with a stranger. She was so drunk that she has no recolection of the previous evening. And she thinks that this is "no big deal".

Even ignoring the fact that she kissed somebody while on a date with somebody else, if she drinks to the point where she can't remember a thing, and doesn't see the problem with that, then she has a big problem.

It's the crazy bitch caller here, just sticking up for herself here. It's not that I didn't remember the evening beforehand; it's just that I was drunk enough to not shove the other guy off of me immediately as he started making out with me on the dance floor. If you're my date and you're standing far enough away from me that some guy is going to make a move on me, it's not my fault!

@crazy_bitch
A simple thing I usually do when other get pissed with me is put myself in their shoes. If the guy is drunk and you leave him for a few minutes on the dance floor to do something else, you come back and he is making out with someone else. Would you be pissed?

Or would you say to yourself, oh this must be my fault since I left him alone.

@VB I didn't start making out with someone. Someone started making out with me.

What if my date started making out with someone else? I might blame myself, but no, of course I would think he was being selfish. It's OK to be selfish and it's OK to make mistakes.

But did I buy him drinks all night and get him drunk? No.

Dan, I really appreciated your advice to the caller with the long distance relationship. Love and good sex is worth waiting for.

In my own life, what started out as a summer fling, turned into a multi-year long distant relationship. It was one of the hardest things I have experienced. I constantly questioned whether or not I should be with a man who I had no immediate future with regardless of how easy and wonderful our relationship was when we were together.

Listening to friends and conventional "long distance" wisdom, I made myself break up with him several times because of the long distance. My heart was never in it and I only made myself more miserable not having him in my life at all.

Things worked out for the best. We've been living together for three years now and are getting married in the fall. I couldn't be happier.

I wish that at that time, that I had heard advice like yours. I might have saved myself some of the self-inflicted torture of trying to leave the love of my life, instead of accepting the distance and waiting it out.

Please wait...
