EDITOR’S NOTE: Every Wednesday, The Daily publishes readers’ questions in our advice column. To ask a question, join our Facebook page, OU Daily Advice.
Q: Is a girl worth keeping around if she won't watch my Jackie Chan Kung Fu flicks?
Brittany: Yes, as long as she respects your interests and hobbies. But if she ever tells you to stop watching them, reconsider her as a girlfriend.
Tyler: Well, do you really want her to like Kung Fu movies as much as you? Do you really think it’s sexy when she turns to you and says, “Woah, dude, that was a sweet kill-shot, don’t you think, babe?” Sometimes it’s best to leave the man-stuff to the men.
Q: I’m having trouble with my parents because they don’t treat me much like an adult. What should I do?
Brittany: Act like an adult if you want to be treated like one. This may mean getting a job, supporting yourself and paying for school on your own, but if you want real adulthood, you have to be willing to take it. Don’t be afraid to put your foot down with your folks; you’ve come further in life than they could ever really understand.
Tyler: My real answer to your question is another question. Do you really want to be treated like an adult? To be held accountable for your own actions? To pay for your own food, bills, gas or underwear? I don’t. That sounds horrible. You may give up a little bit of dignity in the process, but here’s a little secret: your parents never really liked you anyway.
Q: How many dates does it take before we’re “in a relationship?”
Tyler: It’s only official if it’s on Facebook, no questions asked.
Brittany: I agree with Tyler, Facebook tells the world, tells the girl and tells the truth. It’s only official if it’s on Facebook.
