Well
Trinity,
I was with this girl for a month until I found out she was telling other
people she was single. But now I found out that she’s in a threeway
with two other women. Isn’t that cheating? And do we have a chance
of getting back together? I still love her.

Well Love’s Triangle,
First, you can’t get VD from a doorknob and you can’t be cheated
on by someone you’re not dating. Second, yes you can get back together
but why? She’s obviously exploring her sexual freedom and doesn’t
seem the least bit interested in, you. Sorry, but it had to be said. If
you have that much love for her why not give it to someone who wants it.
Baby, it’s time to love yourself as much as you love her and release
her to the triangle of love. Move on.
Hey Trinity,
I can never seem to get ahead. Even when I make a good paycheck it never
lasts. I know you give dating advice but I need a little financial advice.

Hey Money Woes,
There’s three ways to make money, honey — make it, invest (some
of) it or save it. Think savings bank, IRA or “under the mattress.”
Hey Trinity,
Everytime I go out hoping to meet potential dates I end wasting time with
guys who inevitably only want sex. Am I the only gay man on earth who goes
to bars hoping to meet future dates not just one night stands? What am
I doing wrong?
Not Only Sex, Baltimore, Md.
Hey Not Only Sex,
If you’re truly going to bars looking for future dates, then don’t
waste time flirting with guys who are from out of town; are overtly sexual;
and/or you think just want a quickie. Otherwise, you’ll never meet
Mr. Right, just Mr. One Night, which isn’t bad, but it won’t
get you a second date. Pumpkin, you have to be strategic with your time
at the bars not seduced by a sexy guy. Stay aware.
Dear
Trinity,
I know I shouldn’t ask but isn’t there something I can do to
punish someone I was dating for standing me up on our last and final date.
Isn’t some revenge appropriate?

Dear Revenge,
No! Living your own life to the fullest is the best revenge. But if you
still don’t believe me, sweetie, try reading:
Trinity’s Empowering Tips
For
What You Can And Can’t Do
To Someone Who Stands You Up
1. You can’t scratch his car, break his windows or kill his cat
because you must trust that he will be taught a
lesson of greater punishment.
2. You can’t continuously call her home and then hang up just to
bother her because you’re not 12 anymore. You grew up, remember?
3. You can’t go to his work and harass him because it was just
a date.
4. You can’t call the police and have her arrested on bogus charges
such as
kidnapping, burglary or attempted murder, although it would be fun.
5. And, lastly you can’t have him beaten up, scared or maimed because
you don’t want to waste that much energy on any date!
6. You can go on with your life and be more choosy of who you date.
7. You can ignore her when you see her knowing that she missed out on
someone really great.
8. You can let other people know that he has no integrity.
9. You can discard her phone number, rip up her letters and toss out
her toothbrush.
10. And, finally, you can imagine something really, really awful happening
to him just for a few minutes. What the hell, he deserves it.
Don’t let your answers go unanswered!
