Q.My boyfriend still has T-shirts from college, which he’ll wear out in public without blinking an eye. Socks with sandals? No problem. And I think he’s color blind. The other day I refused to go out until he changed, and he got really upset. Was I being unreasonable? What he had on was embarrassing.
— Frightened of fashion pauxs in Windsor EMILY: First off, you gotta love him for his effort to be stylish! Here’s my tip to you: stress that you are going to the mall and you would love for him to go with you. That is when you reel him in and while shopping suggest some things that he may look good in. Guys need all the help they can get in the fashion sense world and use your talent to get him stylish!
JON (to the guy): Vintage T-shirts are back in, but put a Henley underneath them. It’ll make them look better. My dad wears socks with his sandals, he’s like 54, though. How old are you? My advice would be to wear appropriate clothing to the venue you are attending. Don’t wear a T-shirt to dinner. Dress up and she’ll be impressed enough that you could get a happy ending.
JENNIFER: Girls around the world feel your pain, I promise! Dating a fashion-challenged guy is tough, but you gotta love him for his unique sense of style. Pick your battles wisely — socks with sandals is worth the argument, a t-shirt probably isn’t. If you love him then you’re going to have to give and take, even when it comes to fashion. Q. I’m supposed to meet my girlfriend’s parents this weekend. We’ve been going out for six months and she’s already started dropping hints about the “M” word, but I’m not so sure she’s the one. I can’t get out of the parents weekend without damaging the relationship, and I don’t think I’m ready for it to end. Any suggestions?
— Indecisive in Greeley EMILY: Sorry to say buddy, but you are stuck in this one. If you cancel then you have just made a very bad first impression that her parents will not forget. Even if she is not the one, but if you are enjoying the relationship then you have to go to this. Besides, what is the big deal about meeting her parents? Suck it up and do it or you better get out of the relationship before this weekend!
JON: I’m sure she asked you about meeting her parents for the weekend long before you set the date. You’re an idiot. Why didn’t you say anything to her before she asked her parents? You could have taken care of this a long time ago. If you don’t start taking control of your relationship, then you’ll be married and divorced before you can say, “The baby is on the way” Dumbass. You’re the reason they invented prophylactics. Be a man and stand up for yourself!
JENNIFER: Why are you still in the relationship if you don’t see a future with this girl? She has invested six months with you and you are just downright rude if you don’t fess up and let her know that you don’t want to meet the folks because you have doubts that she is the one for you. Stop being selfish and let the poor girl know you how you feel. If you have a question for our relationship advisors,

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
