Dear Advice Girl,I've been dating a new guy for a few weeks, and he is swoon-worthy. He's just my type: a returned Peace Corps volunteer of the dirty hippie variety. He also likes to do fun things, like go to concerts, go to folk festivals, host parties and watch Shakespeare plays (I swear, I did not make that last one up).So what more could I want, you ask? Well, he is SUCH a social butterfly

Help! I love Advice Girl's advice, but with my busy life and with so much stuff on the internet, I often forget to check Advice Girl and miss her best advice when it's still red hot. Is there a way I can be notified as soon as Advice Girl dishes out some of her insight? Can Advice Girl give me a call when she answers a new question? Or come to my door? With doughnuts?Dear Adviceless,All

Dear Advice Girl,Do you still have your advice column blog? I need help. How do you reverse the tragic mistake of accepting friend requests from two trashy in-laws? They are treating facebook like MySpace. I am not interested in receiving the pudding they have flung at me nor comparing my knowledge of WWII tankers. I don't want their creepy sex poems showing up on my news feed. I also don't

Dear Advice GirlI need your advice to keep my cool at work. I always try to be professional, to be nice, and to be cordial when at work. But at this point I’m miserable and flustered due to a very chatty neighbor lady. We work in a shared open air work environment. She is in my opinion bad-mannered and usually unprofessional women in the work place. The major qualm I have with my coworker is

Dear Advice Girl,Ever since I got a job, I've been collecting ideas for fantastic hobbies to pursue in my spare time - hobbies that could really give me something to talk and think about during those long and sometimes dull work hours. But the irony is, I can't seem to find time to do even the simple things that I theoretically enjoy, like working out and reading a good book, let alone can I

Dear Advice Girl,I’m hopelessly searching for my piece of the American dream. To clarify I want to be homeowner (here in DC) in the near future (before 30). However currently, it seems I’m usually strapped for cash after making the normal ends meet after paying student loans, DC rent, and normal financial obligations. With my current single salary vs. my debt obligations it seems as if I will

Dear Advice Girl,I just broke up with my job. It wasn't working for me, and so I finally said "we're through." But now I miss what we had - I miss the money, the long walks through the cold to our evening meetings, the frantic phone calls. I even miss the effort I had to expend to keep us on the same page about our relationship. I know that this was the right decision and that I need to start

Dear Advice Girl,As you know, America's second favorite holiday (after Flag Day) is coming up - Valentine's Day. I am in a fairly new relationship - 3.5 months. He's great! But how do I know what is/isn't okay to give him for Valentine's Day? Or should I get him anything at all?

Dear Advice Girl,Help! I'm so disorganized, I don't know what to do. Every couple of months, I get really energized and put all my immediate clutter away where it should go.

Dear Advice Girl,Help! Living in the big city is hard for a nice girl like me, especially when it comes to dating. It seems like I can never meet a guy who's interested in a real relationship. The guys in bars only have one-track minds, and everyone else I know is married or has a girlfriend. Is there any hope for a woman who's tired of dating and ready to settle down, but not ready to settle

Greetings all! As you may have noticed, Advice Girl has been on a short sabbatical recently. (Okay, three years, which was longer than her original Advice Career, but that's really neither here nor there.)
