Stay Away From This Woman

כ"ב באלול ה'תש"ע (1 September 2010)

Sometimes I can read an advice column just for the questions, and ignore the answers. This is one of those times: Dear Prudence, Twenty years ago, I had a child out of wedlock. I had slept with two men during that period, “Tom” and “Mike.” I assumed Tom was the father, but when I told [...]

“Dear Prudence” is not my favorite advice column by a long shot, but it’s the one that I just happened to read, so I’m going to comment on it now. One woman writes that she is “28-year-old single woman, … tired of being asked out on dates via text message,” and goes on to explain [...]
