How to Help Her Get Ready so You Aren’t Always Late

She takes forever to get ready, and we're always late. What's my move?
–Joe, Santa Fe, NM

Plan ahead. Tell her the night before (casually) how much you love her black strapless dress and those smokin' hot purple shoes. You'll take the pressure off any last-minute decision making.

If she's still tardy, you can always try nudging her with an excuse to leave the house early (“Let's grab a drink beforehand”) that you can easily blow off if you're about to miss your reservation.

I'll just say it: I'm on Tinder because I want sex. But should I ever admit that to my dates?
–Justin, Springfield, MA

Well, not exactly. Just because she happens to be on Tinder doesn't mean she's looking to head straight to your place after happy hour. So don't lead with “Me. Want. Sex.”

Instead, try something like “I'm just keeping things casual right now.” Women know exactly what that means.

And as long as you make it clear that your commitment ends when your alarm goes off the next morning, she can decide whether she wants to wake up next to you.

This woman I'd like to date is leaving for a few months in Spain. Should I go for it, or forget it?
–Adam, Los Angeles, CA

What, are you afraid she'll touch down in Barcelona and immediately run off with Antonio the matador? (Sorry, I guess that didn't help.)

Listen, a long-distance relationship is difficult enough for a serious couple. For two practical strangers dependent on Snapchat, maintaining a meaningful connection will be all but impossible.

Until she boards that plane, your smartest move is to play it cool. Hang out with her. Make her laugh. Show her everything she'll have to look forward to when she gets back home (hopefully without Antonio in tow).

My girlfriend wears too much makeup. How do I ask her to ease up?
–Sean, Oklahoma City, OK

Careful here, Sean: She might love her look. So instead of flat-out asking her to lay off the L'Oreal, wait until she does it herself, like before bed.

Now's your moment: Tell her how beautiful she is. Compliment her again some morning just as she's waking up. She might not take you seriously, but she'll make a mental note that you said she looked hot–which means she might be more likely to go for that look, not Lady Gaga's.

My ex's current roommate started hitting on me. Is she fair game?
–Andrew, Pittsburgh, PA

Define what you mean by “ex.” Three months? Three years? If you two had a fling, then you might be safe.

Just be aware that the situation is hairy. Anytime you cook dinner or watch a flick at her place, you'll be sharing space with another woman you slept with–and sadly for you, this isn't the plot of a cheap porno.

In real life, any lingering tension with your ex could spoil a happy ending with her roommate. So be sure you really like the girl before you take the middle seat on the couch.
