Tough Talk,
I am in my early 40s and single. I would just like to meet a woman who wants to be with me. Unfortunately, I have this condition where I drool and stare at people. It’s not just a bad a habit, but a real condition I have been diagnosed for: scrockaphilia. Also, I have random and unpredictable outbursts of belching and with the drool, you get the picture. I have joined numerous dating sites and when I finish the profiles, I get no responses. Do you think I should lie or not tell a potential date about this TT? (Chakerstown, Kansas)
C-town,
If I’ve said it once, I have said it a thousand times, honesty is the best policy . . . except in this situation. I don’t see what other choice you have if you want to get in the door. In the future, don’t volunteer this information and when your condition does show itself on a date, blame it on some childhood tragedy that will evoke sympathy and pity. Maybe some vacuum tube sucked candy out of your face or you accidentally ate a firecracker. Be creative, but you don’t have any other choice in this matter if you want to meet that special lady.
