Dear Romeo, I’ve read with interest recent letters from other local outdoor enthusiasts featured in your column and am amazed, not so much by their love problems, but that they have mates at all! I myself am more of a loner — always have been — and prefer communing with nature solo. That is, up until this past November, when I turned 40. It’s maybe the result of getting older, but I find myself yearning to share my outdoor adventures with a member of the female sex. But unlike... [Read more...]

Dear Romeo, My husband and I have an ongoing battle with the television remote. It’s gotten so bad that we had to make a chart and schedule possession of it on alternating days. I think John clicks too quickly through the channels, and he gets irritated with me because he says I linger too long on shows in the middle of commercial breaks. This might seem like the kind of minor spat all young couples have to deal with at some point in their marriage, but I’m of the opinion that it’s... [Read more...]

Dear Romeo, I’ve always loved sorority girls. They’re always gorgeous and always eager to party. I’ve dated quite a few since I started college, but I’ve never met anyone quite like Beth. Beth belongs to one of the most conservative Christian sororities on campus, and though she’s really pretty and has a great body, Beth looks down on people who drink and do drugs and has probably never been to a wild party in her life. Even though I’m one of the hardest-core partiers... [Read more...]

Inquire of Romeo: September 2011 By Romeo Pomodoro Dear Romeo, My girlfriend Angie is a great looking girl and attracts stares from guys every time we go out. I admit I get a thrill out of showing her off because it reminds me of how lucky I am. Angie has always been a conservative dresser. She could go out in an ankle-length parka and muddy galoshes and still get attention. But since she turned 35 this past June, she’s taken to wearing more revealing clothing — sometimes too revealing,... [Read more...]

Romeo, This economy really stinks. Not only can I not find a boyfriend, I also can’t find a job. As you can imagine, it’s pretty hard to meet single guys when you’re feeling terrible about yourself and can’t even afford to buy even one lousy Cosmopolitan. Do you have any advice to help me stick it out until Mr. Right comes along? “Carmella” Cocoa Beach Janice, my heart goes out to you. Right off the bat, I’d say that the best way top stick it out until Mr.... [Read more...]

Dear Romeo, My husband travels a lot for work. It’s been this way ever since he got the job 10 years ago, but lately it seems like it’s gotten worse. No sooner does he come home and unpack than he has to get back on a plane. I know I shouldn’t complain because we have a beautiful home and plenty in the bank thanks to Carl’s job, but I’m starting to feel left out. The kids are off in college and I’m often stuck at home at loose ends. I’m very active in the... [Read more...]

Romeo, I have a weakness for men with accents. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve passed over drop-dead gorgeous, red-blooded American guys for the dumpy Greek tourist sitting in the corner. It doesn’t matter where they come from — China, India, Holland, or Chile — so long as I can detect an accent as soon as they open their mouths I’m in all the way. Yet as a successful small business owner with strong ties to the area and whose biological clock is ticking... [Read more...]

Dear Romeo, I have a question about New Year’s Eve 2012. I know it’s way early, but my wife is already trying to ruin the plans it took us so long to make. You see, it’s been on our bucket list for a long time to ring in a new year in NYC and see the ball drop. After two years of planning and saving, we finally bought our tickets and reserved a room in a hotel overlooking Times Square. Well, you know how women are. Cathy is now convinced that the world is going to end in 2012 based... [Read more...]

Dear Romeo, I’m part of a group of 10 single girls who are all relatively new to the area and are interested in getting involved in community charities and causes. Once a week, the Sandy Cheeks Women’s Group gets together to share a few bottles of chardonnay, cry on each other’s shoulders about the lack of eligible males here, and brainstorm about ways to better our new hometown. We could have met with a city official for direction and ideas, but as big fans of your advice column... [Read more...]

Inquire of Romeo: March 2011 By: Romeo Pomodoro Romeo, I’ve been living with “Steve” for two years and everything has been going great up till now. Steve has always been very supportive of my hobbies and interests. He even went so far as buying me a kayak when I was into studying local ecology last summer! But when I recently took up the saxophone he started freaking out! I know it must have been difficult for him to listen to my first practice sessions as I learned my way around... [Read more...]
