Dear Ms Beaver
I recently moved in to a new flat and started to fall for one of my flatmates. I’ve only been living with him for two weeks but we’ve gotten drunk and slept together three times already.
It turns out he’s great as a friend but a bit of a cunt when it comes to emotions. His ego takes up too much room in his bed, there’s no room for anyone else; but when he smiles it makes me happy. And I need sex.
What do I do?
Thanks in advance
Flatmate Doer
Dear Doer,
It hasn’t even been one issue yet and you’re already getting my name wrong. Farrr.
Screwing the crew eh. Always a bad idea. Especially with someone who is emotionally retarded. What you really need to do is have a talk with your flatmate—does he see it as just drunk sex, or something more? Us girls can be very silly when it comes to boys and sex—even Candy Badger is silly sometimes. If his smile makes you happy, it sounds like you’ve already fallen for him. Eeeek!
If you can distance your emotions from it, by all means keep sexing him. If not, maybe it’s best that you are just friends.
Good luck,
Candy Badger
Dear Candy,
I think Panic! At The Disco broke up, and I don’t know what to do. I’m a huge fan. Please help!
Panicking
Dear Panicking,
I did a quick Wikipedia search for you, and it looks like they’re still a band. Albeit one with only two members remaining. Have you thought about other bands at all? Less crap ones? Maybe you could listen to Rihanna. I like Rihanna.
Much love,
Candy Badger.
