Wisdom Wednesdays: Featuring Dr Sidney Wang

ASK DR WANG, the psychic betta fish
This week's e-mail is from Lolly in Grand Junction, CO. Lolly writes:

Dear Dr Wang,

I have crush on a guy named Slim who works as a cashier at the Western Convenience store nearby. He is at the store no matter what time I go in; I've remarked that he is always working but he seems quite nervous or defensive about it. I have reason to believe he likes me, but I am not completely certain yet. Sometimes he gives me a 10% discount off my coffee, and he always asks me if I want a beef jerky to go too, which is my favorite. Do you think I should wait for him to ask me out, or should I take the first step? What does he future hold Dr Wang?

Smitten, Lolly

Dr Wang responds: Dear Lolly,

I sensed there is a secret lurking within Slim, so I have consulted The Great Bubble Wall in my tank for deeper insights. I have learned that Slim is working a lot of overtime at the Western Convenience store for good reason. He is saving up money to help pay off a secret gambling debt of his sister, who is a one-legged nun. Because he is ashamed of his sister's gambling problem, he will never openly mention this to you.

You will be pleased to know that Slim does have a crush on you, but he is shy and not going to make the first move. You must learn patience and control in the meantime. Wait until the next month or so and you will find that Slim is more receptive to your advances. The next time you are in the store, take a closer look at Slim, he has a club-foot which rules out two-stepping as a first date option. In the meantime, Lolly, just stick to Slim Jim's jerky and your coffee, you'll be a hot item by mid-summer.

keep swimming upstream,

-Dr Wang
