Dear Blake,
I’m a 25-year-old man who has never had a girlfriend. Recently, a woman I work with seems to be showing an interest in me. She’s the same age as I am. I might feel the same way about her, but she mentioned that she’s going through a divorce. Is it worth asking for her number to see where things go?

Dear Lenny,
If you never had a girlfriend, then you need a crash course on how to handle this type of potential relationship. The most important thing is for you to figure out, is who is the loser in her godless marriage. Here are some suggestions. If she says the marriage is ending because he ran around on her, then the chances are she was doing the exact same thing… with more frequency. Or, if she says it was for financial irresponsibility, and she owns an expensive purse, then you can safely conclude that she bled them dry with nonstop shopping sprees at local malls and Amazon. Or this one. If she says they argue a lot, that means he doesn’t follow her “orders” quickly or efficiently enough, and she prefers a man that’s a spineless wimp that breaks down and cries when she literally slaps him around. And finally, if she says they simply grew apart, that means both her and her husband has some serious mental health issues. So start watching “Dateline” and “20/20” to see which one of them mysteriously “disappears”, with their dismembered skeletal remains discovered years down the road. I hope this helps.
Blake
