Dating Advice from an Eight-Year-Old

 

Dear Lucas,
There's a girl in my office that I've fallen for. She works in HR, which makes things that much more awkward. If I make things uncomfortable for her, I could easily get fired. But I like her so much. How do I subtly make it known I have feelings for her?

Dear Crushin,
This is a tough one since Valentine's Day has already passed and you can no longer tell 30 people at once that you love them. Have you tried punching her in front of all your friends?

Dear Lucas,
My girlfriend is pressuring me to get married. But mentally I'm not ready. It has nothing to do with her, honestly. But I don't want her to feel let down with each passing day. Any suggestions?

Dear Cold,
You should do that. My parents are married and are very happy. My Mom often screams "THANKS FOR NOTHING" to my dad. She's so happy and my dad didn't have to do anything. Marriage sounds great.  Happy!

Dear Lucas,
I've been with my girlfriend for over a year and I've yet to bring her to orgasm. Any tips?

Dear Important,
Bears maybe? That's probably the best orgasm there is. You should bring her that. Bears rule!
Lucas

 

Dear Lucas,
I wrote to you a few weeks ago about pleasuring my girlfriend. You wrote something about bears. My guess is that it's because you're a child and didn't know the difference between an orgasm and an organism. No big deal. I knew what I was getting into when I sought your advice. But seriously, I'd love any tips you could give me on making my girlfriend feel good in bed.

Dear Still Important,
As a licensed sex therapist, I think I know the difference between orgasm and organism. Like I said, bears.

Dear Lucas,
Impotent again. I'm very sorry I questioned you. But when I introduced bears into the bedroom, my girlfriend scoffed. Then she was eaten by the bears. What now?

Dear On The Run,
Hahaha. Yeah, bears sure are funny. One time at the zoo, I saw a bear. It was the best day of my life. Bears still rule!

Dear Lucas,
My deceased girlfriend's parents has had me arrested for the murder of their daughter. Do you know any good lawyers?

Dear Incarcerated,
Sorry it took me so long to respond. I've been at swim class. 
Lucas

 

Dear Lucas,
You've been in swim class for the last 7 months??? I'm rotting in here, you little shit.

Dear Incarcerated,
I'm done with 3rd grade so this project is over. Thanks for being my pen pal!
