I have been friends with a girl for years. Lately my friend has been comparing me with other people and saying they’re her closest friend. I’m not jealous of other people it’s just that she keeps mentioning this all the time. She also makes me feel overweight and is extremely competitive at work. We have [...]

I have a friend looking to leave their dead end job via grad school. They took an entrance exam and did not score very well. They are retaking the test, but are still looking into going to a top flight school. How do I break it that they should probably aim a little lower in [...]

Dear Adri, This may be a strange question, but I’m not quite sure where and how to ask. I feel that if I mention this to my guy friends, they’ll think I’m weird, and I don’t have any girl friends. I’m almost thirty and my girlfriend is almost thirty-four, which she maintains is a huge [...]

Adri, On a month and a half ago I hooked up with a guy I met at the party I went to.  We had a few mutual friends, but had never met.  The next morning we exchanged numbers awkwardly and I never expected to hear from him again.  We texted a few times that week and then nothing. [...]

Dear Adri, I cannot seem to get over my ex. We had a pretty great relationship, except of course for a few issues, which started as minor but then grew to insurmountable. He has cut off all communication, which makes it very difficult to process closure (and also not to feel like I’ve literally lost a limb). Hence [...]

Adri, I’m dating this girl and things went pretty quickly, to the point where we came close to having sex the other night. The next day she told me the reason she stopped short of sex the previous night is because she has genital herpes. She gave me an out and told me that she [...]

I am inexplicably infatuated with a good friend of mine. I’m pretty sure she knows but has yet to make an issue of it nor run off. I have no intentions of pursuing a relationship or making a play to woo her. I would like to maintain the friendship without straining things, how do I [...]

What is there to do in houston for entertainment outside the bar scene? — Tourista Well, that depends on what you like to do. My friend Rachel goes running with the Kenyan Way for fun and fitness. Pete plays indoor soccer at Kicks. I like the Miller Outdoor Theater. I know that there are Scrabble [...]

Hey Adri. Great to have you back in Texas. There’s something I was thinking about the other day when I had some news for someone. I told him that I had good news and bad news and asked which he wanted to hear first. I’ve often heard people pose this question, but I don’t think [...]

I read an article in which a women in mexico was quoted as saying “there will be no gadding about for me” is there even a word for gadding in spanish? Or perhaps was that the closest approximation the author could reach? – Winky I’m not sure if there is a word for “gadding about” [...]

Adri: I heard that nalgene was hazardous to your health. Is that true? – Curio I’m not sure, I poked around and found this. My friend Joe swears that nalgene is terrible. But here’s what my friendly scientist friend has to say: Sometimes, these “dangerous” chemicals really aren’t and people still get their panties in [...]

What is the record of Mexico vs US the last 5 years? – Tom You have no idea how tedious this was to look up. I ended up at the Federacion Mexican de Futbol Ass. crawling through old stats. Unfortunately, Mexico doesn’t have the best record against the US in the last five years. Here’s [...]

Hi Adri…. first, I’d like to say hello. If you don’t remember who I am, next time I will try to introduce myself again. Anyway, the question is…. How can I explain to gringos that their national soccer team and league is nowhere near Mexico level of gameplay? The gringos are starting to claim they [...]

How come you’re so cool? PS I love you and miss you a ton! -Liz I’m cool because you love me. Obviously. And because I post silly pictures of you on the internet (despite that fact that I actually found this picture on the internet). World, meet the new/old Liz.

Adri, what is scarier: Michael Jackson’s face or Tara Reid’s stomach? I want to know! – Terrified Well, let’s do a side by side: vs. I’ll go with Michael Jackson’s face. And I’ll back up my claim with an analysis from YouTube. (PS: you must watch this, the ending is fantastic!)
