'Ask Debbie Sue' Dating advice

'Ask Debbie Sue.' Dating advice with Author & Comedian: Debbie Sue Goodman

Hi Everyone, I've been very busy here. I'm so honored my comedy, 'Dating Dilemmas' won an award for 'Best Script/Screenplay' in the 'Believe in Your Dreams' Cinefest in March 2022! I was also interviewed on two more wonderful Radio/Podcast interviews. I'm happy spring

is here & warmer temperatures are on the way. In previous columns I received many letters from single women with a similar question- 'What should I do if I'm 'dating a slob?' It reminds me of a date I went on years ago. I'm including the story in this column.

Sometimes you can meet someone single by just doing an activity you enjoy. I always enjoy going for long walks. I like working out at the health club. I like walking the track. You never know who you might meet while you're walking or jogging along the track.
It doesn't really matter what someone is wearing if you enjoy their company. You can be subtle & 'suggest' they change their shirt or wear a different outfit the next time you see them. It's probably best to wait until you've been dating them awhile before
suggesting a change of attire.

Several years ago, I met a single guy while I was working out at the health club. He was wearing a wrinkled dirty t-shirt, cut off shorts and his hair was a bit messy. I figured it was because he was working out. We spoke, exchanged phone numbers and set
up a dinner date. We went out a few times. He dressed a bit sloppy each time. He was friendly. After a few dates, he met my mom. I called her after the date to ask her what she thought about him.

I said, "Mom, Did you like him? Do you think he's a sloppy dresser?" She replied, "I'm not answering that question." I said, "I really want to know your opinion. Do you think he's a slob?" She replied, "I don't want you to be upset. I refuse to answer."
I said, "I know you don't want to give your opinion. But, I need to know.. Do you think he's one of the
worst dressed men I ever went out with?"

She replied, "No, I wouldn't say THAT." I said, "Well, that's good to hear..." She replied loudly, "He's not ONE of the worst dressed men, He is
THEE worst!!"

Until next time...

Keep Smiling!
