Yesterday there was news of a 3.3 million year old Australopithecus afarensis fossil from Ethiopia. I’m just curious as to how they ascertain the age. I know it’s not carbon-14 dating, that’s 2 orders of magnitude beyond its range. It’s been a while since I learned about this stuff, so thanks for refreshing my memory.

Skalywag asked:


Two key people who work in our office are openly dating. They often leave at the same time to run errands and take exotic vacations together. It’s uncomfortable since I have too work closely with both of them - and they cover for each other when there is missed time. It doesn’t seem fair to the rest of us because we have to watch what we say around them, they cover for each other when one leaves the office, and sometimes they leave together and are gone for long periods of time. We are a very small office so the behavior is noticeable - and no one else in the office is related or dating.

I ignore it and just keep working. But I don’t approve of it.

What would you do?

Tay K asked:


I recently transferred into a new university. I am now 21 and have approximately sophomore standing (the credit transfers didn’t go well) so I will soon be older than most students.

At the same time I would like to start dating, which I haven’t done yet. I *could* date outside of my university but I would rather stick to dating other students. I’ve ruled out freshmen already (it just doesn’t feel right). What other limits should I follow?

By the way, I know age-of-consent laws are usually 16 or 18. The law is not the issue here.

I would just like to know (preferably from a guy’s perspective) what comes into people’s mind during dating. Who actually does the 3rd date rule?

Stale White Male asked:


My son is turning 18 soon and has recently begun dating. However his first girlfriend has very small breasts, probably an A-cup. Now god bless his heart, he loves her ever so much, but I’d like to set a firm precedent to avoid future heartbreak.

I wouldn’t want him to be ridiculed by his friends and classmates for ‘going out with a flatty’ as I would have been back in my younger years. Unendowed females are also generally emotionally unstable due to low self-esteem (I don’t want a teenage drama queen on my son’s hands!)

My biggest worry is that many years down the line, their female children would be ‘flat chicks’ as well. I’d like my son to be a spittin’ image of his old man, and to help him avoid some obvious mistakes.

Should I forbid him from dating her or let him figure it out for himself over time?

Hello asked:


Is it the same or what is it that makes it different. How do you know you are dating someone. I mean I’ve been hanging around with some guy, still no kiss but we are going out and do like each others company.

Sarah asked:


I am 16 and my boyfriend is 18. We’ve been dating for almost two years and I need some creative ideas for an anniversary gift. In the past i’ve given pictures/frames, homemade blanket/pillow, food, hockey tickets, cologne, and shirts. I don’t know what else would be good. He’s into soccer and going to school to become a jeweler so i can’t really buy any type of necklace or anything.

rianna asked:


My 22-year-old friend is extremely shy, but he really wants to get into the dating scene. I think online dating would be a good place for him, because he opens up once he gets to know people better. But, what dating sites are more focused on young people, and are actually good? Thanks!
