Kinky co-worker back in life of former sex slave

Hey there, time traveller!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: Two years ago I had an affair with a kinky woman at my office. It ended when I found a better job at a different, bigger firm.

As I am writing you, I’m in shock: I’m watching her move into her desk across the room. She just waved. I can see her stupid dyed-red hair.

I don’t want her here. I was getting so sick of her before I left my former office, it was a relief to get away. She would constantly ask me over for Thursday nights to do her bidding as her sex slave and I would stupidly go.

Now here she is again, like a bad dream. I don’t know what to do. If she thinks she’s going to resume those nights with me, she can think again.

On the other hand, I don’t have anyone at all in my sex life now and I’m lonely. Please help.  — Shocked to See Her, Downtown

Dear Shocked to See Her: You have a quick decision to make — a once-a-week sex life with a woman you don’t like anymore, or ignoring her. The best way to get rid of Red is to tell her you’re not interested because you’re “involved in something.” Refuse to answer any more questions because a smart man doesn’t complicate a white lie with details he has to make up on the spot.

You would be best to get proactive about finding a new woman so you are not tempted to give in to this domme out of loneliness. If she starts to harass you at work, you could go to human resources; but before you get yourself too wound up, find out if she has a new guy.

You’ll note she didn’t contact you after you left the last workplace, and she only needed you for the Thursday night slot. 

 

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: There is a weird female neighbour who lives down our street. She pulled in front of my driveway one time and had her tweenish son get out to look at the licence plate on my car in my driveway. He walked around to the back to inspect my plate. 

There have been police cars at their house before for whatever reason (probably a domestic dispute). I feel like telling this lady off for being so arrogant and rude to come on my property to inspect my plate. She probably works for MPI or something like that, but I feel like telling her off for being so rude and nosy about my business!

She even gave my girlfriend a look of disgust when the kids were trick-or-treating at her house this past Halloween.

I have been warned by other neighbours that she’s crazy and to stay away from her, but I am willing to stand up to crazy. How do I approach this person and put her in her place. — Concerned Neighbour, North Kildonan

Dear Concerned Neighbour: It’s not about how courageous you are. Sensible people don’t confront crazy people. You can’t expect reasonable behaviour from people who are not reasonable, and you have been warned by other people about her.

You would be better off to erect a fence or plant big half-grown bushes for privacy. You’ll save yourself from being angry every day. Constant stress and anger can result in high blood pressure, and that’s a health killer for you or anybody.

So what if she took your licence-plate number. It’s no big deal if you haven’t done anything wrong. Just find a way to keep her out of your sightlines and off your radar.

At this point, she’s having a negative effect on you every day, so she’s winning.

 

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: Two weeks ago I met a guy at a bar and the chemical reaction was so strong we started arguing over nothing and then, taking it outside, we went nose-to-nose yelling stupid insults. We both broke up laughing and ended up kissing.

One thing led to another and we went home to my place and he stayed until Sunday. It was so intense that by the end of the weekend, we were both fatigued and crabby and hungry, and we had another big fight. Then he went home.

Is this the beginning of hot love, or was it just straight lust and did it wear out? I went back to the same bar last weekend trying to find him. No dice. I am dying to see him again. — Burning With Desire, West End

Dear Burning With Desire: This is jungle behaviour of the mating variety. You two had a big chemical reaction that may have worn him out by Sunday, and for good. The fight at the end was probably what killed it.

If the fire’s still burning, he may be scared to contact you because he thinks you’re still angry. He may not have your number, but he does know where you live.

For your part, you did go back to the place where you met, and he didn’t show up looking for you. Maybe he’s fighting his own urges. It could be he realizes you two would drive each other mad.

Because you’re obsessing, give it just one more try. Contact him any way you can, and say boldly, “I challenge you to drink at 9 o’clock.” There, I just gave you the gift of one of my best lines. You’re welcome!
