Dear Charles: I recently met a man when I was out at a nightclub. We kissed and he took my number. He texted me the next morning and we have been talking everyday since, including going on a lunch date the other day (we split the bill). He told me he wants to meet up again and seems genuinely interested in me. The only problem is he takes quite a while sometimes to reply to my texts... it's hours.
I'm a big movie buff. Romantic Comedies, Dramas, Action, Documentaries, SciFi, Mystery… from the junk food of Jay and Silent Bob to the over-the-top action of Kill Bill to the episodic writing of Harry Potter… you'll find me in front of the silver screen allowing it to wash over me… taking me to — wherever. Movies are an escape from reality, and as such the writers and directors demand one thing from the audience: Suspension of Disbelief — the viewer's willingness to sacrifice realism and logic for the sake of their enjoyment of the film. I have no issue with Suspension of Disbelief. But for movies set in the real world, where relationship dynamics play out on-screen… what I'm not capable of is Suspension of Realistic Possibility.

Dear Charles: I've recently broken up with my ex, and have been single for three months. And it's been a hard three months while he rejoices in his new relationship (which he started only one week after we broke up). I just can't seem to find closure to let him go. We have a child together, which only makes my feelings 100% stronger for him. And tonight, I get this text message...
