Welcome to my advice column. My name is Dawn. First, I assure you I am not like other young people at all. There is nothing about me that is overly special. I have an extreme fear of going back in time, getting stuck there then contracting a disease that's curable now but not curable then, and of being drowned by peacocks. o.0 I have little respect for what hasn't earned it, most of the world is little more than my plaything or a joke to me but what makes it inside my walls is there forever. I was probably tampered with as a child by aliens. Godspeed.
This is an advice column. I have little patients for idiots...
Q: Can I ask you a question?
A: You just did, now I'm all out of answers for today, try again never.
Q: What's the song that goes like this ... ?
A: How is this asking for advice?
Q: I had unprotected sex 23,086,165 times, am I pregnant?
A: Take a damn test and stop being such a whore.
Q: Does he like me?
A: If you have to ask stupid questions like this, to complete strangers who know neither of you, then I highly doubt it. And if he does, then he's an idiot.
Q: Ok, I have to write this essay on (fill in the blank), what should I write?
A: Try growing a brain to think for yourself. You'll never amount to anything if you try to get others to do your homework for you.
Q: Rate this picture, am I ugly?
A: Once again, how is this asking for advice. Stop trying to get self-confirmation through strangers online. You have real self-issues and should probably see a therapist.
Q: Lyk how do u no if u r a lez?
A: You should really learn proper spelling and grammar. It's beyond me how anyone can understand a thing you said.
If you have a serious question, I can be one of the most helpful people you know. I may be only 22, but I have experienced a lot in my life. If I don't know the answer to your delema, I wont pretend to know it and give some random answer that sounded good at the time, I will simply let you know that I don't have the answer, and reffer you to some place that you can find the answer.
advice
I have been involved with a guy for over 2 years. We have a near perfect relationship. He is my best friend and the person I know God sent to me to spend the rest of my life with. My boyfriend says he feels the same way. We recently graduated from college and were lucky enough to have found jobs in the same city. We have been living together for over eight months and especially the last three months, we couldn't be happier. I now find myself constantly thinking about marriage and looking at dresses and engagement rings. Is that normal?
He says that he is ready to marry me but he doesn't want to spend the money it cost to buy me an engagement ring. The ring that I have chosen cost $3000 and he claims that is too much to spend on a ring. I told him that I don't care how much he pays for a ring as long as he puts a lot of thought in the ring he chooses. Lately, he constantly reminds me of the $3000 ring and makes me feel as if it is my fault that engagement rings are so expensive. What should I do or say to him to convince him that I just want a nice ring? Also, what can I do to convince him that this is not a time to be a cheap-skate and that a decent ring will cost over $1000?
It's completely normal to want to marry the man you love and have loved for two years. But you don't have to spend your life's savings to do it.
If he's ready to marry, but not with a $3000 ring, when accept a $500 ring. There are some really nice rings out there that are under $1000. Who says you need an expensive ring? Kay Jewlers? Zales? DeBeers diamonds? Lots of women get married with $200 rings and stay happily married. Maybe they get a more expensive ring for their anniversary, or when they are more financially stable? Or maybe they don't get one? A lifetime of love is worth more than the most expensive ring anyways.
If you want to be get married, stop pining for an expensive ring and keep your eye on the ball. Know your objective. What is it you want? A ring? Or a wedding?
If it's a wedding, get an inexpensive ring. Buy a synthetic diamond; nobody but a jeweler can tell the difference. Find a ring on Ebay or at a pawn shop. Make getting a cheap ring a fun thing that you and your guy do together.
Don't make him feel like a cheapskate, it'll only push him away from the idea.
Hope that helped,

(Rating: 5) I really want a nice pretty ring to show off to everyone that he loves me. It's society that makes me feel that way. But you're right... love is better than diamonds, and we should wait until we are rich enough to buy one. Thanks
