Dear Miss Single,

I’m a very successful lawyer and am kind of a local celebrity where I live. I mainly work with a lot of high profile cases and make occasional TV appearances to talk about these cases. Because of this recent rise in fame, I tend to get a lot of attention from hot girls and it’s really increased my game. Normally, I think that these girls are way out of my league, but I guess that’s what happens when people know your face and you drive a hot car.

Anyway, last week after winning a case, I took a bunch of people from the firm who also worked on the case out for after work drinks – including this new fem-bot paralegal. This girl is seriously f-ing hot. She’s a new hire and has a long-term boyfriend. One of the first things that she said to me was, “I remember seeing you on TV when I was in high school.” I love that!

So, we get to drinking, and then more drinking, and pretty soon it’s just me and her at my apartment… and we had sex from 11:30pm until 4:30am. It was f-ing hot. Her boyfriend kept calling and she kept ignoring his calls and we just kept going at it. She’s now having some major issues because she cheated on her live-in boyfriend, yet can’t get the smile off her face from the other night. I’m having some major issues because I see this girl around the office all the time and I just want to do her. The thing is, that I’m not only attracted to this girl, but I’d also like to date her. I think we could really have something and I think that we could develop a great relationship. Any suggestions?

A couple weeks ago, I received a phone call from my attorney during one of his week-long gin benders. He called just as I was getting ready for a nice relaxing evening of a bath and a good book. At first, when I took his call, my liver began whining and groaning – he usually only calls when he’s in town, which means that I’m off to join him at a gay dance club where we will drink for free (or close to free) until the wee hours of the morning. No, he called because he was having drunken love problems. We have a good working relationship – I call him about legal questions and he calls me about girl questions. His stories about chicks always put my stories to shame – I think he’s the only one who could “out single” Miss Single USA. I love this guy.

Anyway, he was whining on the phone about how he has a habit of having chicks fawn all over him because of his notoriety and his money and he’s also one hell of a charming mother. His problem, though, is that he tends to come clean about his feelings WAY too early in the game. He falls for the beautiful women with wit and intelligence and then scares them away with his love and affection because deep down, he’s just a dude from Kenosha, Wisconsin.

So what you have to learn from this is that your fame and celebrity are quite possibly only temporary commodities. You need to enjoy all of these perks from your new life while they last because let’s face it - Who knows what will happen next? Pretty soon you might have to trade that Benz in for a Datsun. Then you will have to rely on talent alone to get laid. Remember how hard you had to work for a girl like this before all the notoriety and fortune came your way? I’m not saying that you don’t have any talent, but that all these other factors in your life make it a lot easier for you to get these girls who are way out of your league. Also, please keep in mind that one of the things that attracts the fem-bots to you is the fact that you are a local celebrity. After a casual work relationship with a new hire, you probably shouldn’t jump head first into a new relationship. I’m sure she’s not like all those money-grubbing fem-bots that you might or might not have dated in the past, but keep in mind that she’s younger than you and is star struck by you. She even gushed about how she saw you on TV. You have a life that I’m sure she wishes that her boyfriend had.

Let’s also not forget that she cheated on her boyfriend with you. Who’s to say that she won’t do that to the next big-shot lawyer guy who comes around? She’s a young new hire! She’s very naive to the world and will start to learn pretty quickly from working with your firm.

Also, as someone who has slept with a fellow employee or two at numerous jobs, I just want to stress what a bad idea that is. Hell, I’m starting to think that you shouldn’t even date someone who lives in the same neighborhood. It’s very tough to not only date someone but to also see them every day at the office. I’m sure it’s a little awkward, but fun right now, walking around and seeing each other with big smiles on your faces. It’s not going to always be like that. There are other factors that can either add or subtract from the possibilities of having a successful relationship with a coworker (such as how large your office is, how often you might be working together, how sturdy your desk is, whether or not your door has a lock… you get the idea) which you will need to keep in mind.

It sounds to me like your new life is starting to get to your head as well. You’re in love with your new life and you’re in love with your new self. Knock it off. Get back to reality. Remember those trashy ugly horse-girls you “dated” in college and do you remember how drunk you had to get them to go to bed with you? Your life has recently become a lot easier and you’ve bumped into a new social class that you were only able to observe before. Try to remember that life is still work. You can't just jump in with a relationship offer because you're currently enamored with a person. Once she finds out that you're just a regular dude, it's going to be a bit of a shock to her. Please remember to take it easy.

Do you even know for sure that this girl wants to leave her boyfriend for you? Of course, why wouldn’t she? But your fame induced hotness can only account for so many Jedi mind tricks on these girls until they realize that you are way below their league. This girl might really love her boyfriend, but is just going through a major shift in her life. She has a new job, she just cheated on her boyfriend, and she just had sex with a minor celebrity. If you do decide to try to instigate a relationship from this, take it slow or it will self-destruct all over that hot two-button Dior suit.
