Dr. Lovemonkey: Let's do lunch

LET'S DO LUNCH

Dear Dr. Lovemonkey,

There's this guy that I know from work. Well, actually, I don't really know him, I just see him all the time. We've never really talked just sort of nodded to each other a few times. I'm really attracted to this guy and soon I'm going to be leaving this office and taking a new job. What I want to know is would it be inappropriate for me to ask him to lunch, seeing as I don't really know him or anything? Do you think that I would come out looking like a fool?

S.J.

Dear S.J.,

Sure, ask him to lunch. He most likely will be quite flattered by your attention and it appears like this is at least one way to meet him and maybe even get to know him. He might not be interested, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. If your instincts tell you that he is someone you would like, go with them. You don't want to live with regrets because you were reluctant to make a move.

STARRY-EYED

Dear Dr. Lovemonkey,

I am a good looking 27-year-old heterosexual male who has always been attracted to film, TV, and pop stars. What would be a good way to meet some of these people? I'm sure that if one of them got to know me, she would really like me. I recall reading somewhere that Julia Roberts's husband is not a celebrity but a regular working guy. Obviously this is a difficult and delicate situation. Any suggestions?

Lonely Stud

Dear Lonely Stud,

Right off the bat you are referring to yourself as "stud." This only underscores the delusional quality of your letter. My advice would be to march right over to a shrink's office and explain your conundrum. Then go directly to the police station and turn yourself in. I'm sure that there are some law enforcement professionals who could work with you on coming up with some appropriate charges (stalking, perhaps). I have met few women, celebrity and non-celebrity, who find men who refer to themselves as "studs" to be attractive. Daniel Moder, who is married to Julia Roberts, may not be a "famous celebrity," but he is a camera operator who works in the film industry. In conclusion, your "situation" is neither "difficult" not "delicate." It is a combination of narcissistic personality and an obsession with the world of celebrity. Please look into counseling.

TOO MUCH TOO SOON?

Dear Dr. Lovemonkey,

I went out with a guy a few weeks ago and we had sex on the first date. I really like him a lot and I really wanted to, but I am worried that maybe this was not a good idea. Is there a rule about this? Is it always a bad idea? So far things have continued to be great and I am even more impressed and interested in him as time has gone on.
