Dear Dr. Dick, I met this guy on the Internet and he seemed nice and all, but I wasn’t that enthralled with him. He was a little, oh, I don’t know, nerdy and a little too anxious. I went on a few dates with him. He wasn’t horrible. After a few weeks I found out that he was going out with someone else! Now, mind you, I wasn’t returning his calls, but still! I saw him and this other guy out, laughing and feeding each other salad—yuk! Okay I am jealous. I am more than jealous. He was mine first, right? What should I do?

Dear Did I Miss the Boat,
Not only did you miss the boat, but you didn’t have a ticket from get. Think about what you are saying. Getting jealous over some guy you barely gave the time of day? Spare me. And spare yourself. Next time if someone takes an interest in you, maybe you should take your time and get to know him better.
