’5′

February 13, 2009

B,

My girlfriend kissed a famous guy while we were together. For some reason this hurts more than the idea of her kissing a non-famous guy. She says nothing else happened but now I just can’t help but think of it, and keep googling him to find out everything i can about him. It’s becoming a bit obsessive. Should I forgive her? I’m not sure if I can but I love her.

Hey R,

This is like a worst nightmare for normal chaps like us. I always have a ’5′ that I discuss with my ladyfriends who are famous people we’d be “allowed” to be with if the chance ever arose. But the key to this ’5′ is that It would be fine if I kissed one of my ’5′ but if she did it that would be cheating and unforgivable. Just for relevance sake my current ’5′ would be…

Cate Blanchett
Rebecca Hall
Mila Kunis
Laura Marling
and
Demetri Martin

Yes, it’s called double standards, just the way us boys like it.

R, boringly I have to state that if you stalk this guy you’re breaking the law, although I can see how it would be an attractive option to freak him out a little. In terms of your relationship there’s only one thing i can suggest – find a more famous woman and kiss her on the mouth. Quick. Then see if you still want to be with your girl. Revenge is a dish best served cold. Like my heart.

Cheers,

barnaby
