05:02 - I've started seeing this guy. I like him a lot and everything's going well, but it's only been about two weeks so it isn't very serious yet. His birthday is in a couple weeks and I'm not sure what the expectation of me is this early in our relationship. Do I buy him a gift? Take him to dinner? Bake him a cake? I'm still in school so my budget is limited, and I don't want to freak him out with something overly extravagant. What's an appropriate birthday experience for a relationship of not even a month? -- My Barely Boyfriend's Birthday

09:19 - I'm really friendly, and I like to make lots of different friends. I consider a lot of people my BFF, but my Mom says it's not possible for me to have so many BFFs. How many can I have without being excessive? -- Your BFF Sarah

My wife wants him to be dressed as an animal, such as a turkey, a skunk or a monkey. I would prefer to dress him as something cool and nerdy. This is where I need your sagely advice. Can you give me some cool and nerdy costume ideas with which to put this argument to bed? -- Kevin

37:23 - My roommate and I are pretty good friends. We watch movies and TV together, we eat meals together, play video games together, etc. But sometimes I just want some time to myself. I go to my bedroom and close the door but he always stops by to ask what I'm doing and if I wanna hang out. I end up making an excuse like saying I'm not feeling well or I'm working on something, but really I just want some peace and quiet. I don't like lying to him so is there something I can tell him that I want to be left alone without hurting his feelings? -- Bothered In Berkeley
