He could always trust her

 Dear Bitter Single Guy: I dated this guy for three months and then out of the blue he broke up with me. He told me that it was because my father didn't like him (although my dad did make the relationship a living hell) but I just don't believe him. We agreed to stay friends but I didn't hear from him for about seven months and then all of a sudden he calls me back saying that he was thinking about me and that I am the one person that he could always trust. Even though he was a great guy when we were dating, I don't know how much I should trust him to actually come back into my life. What should I do? -- On Again Off Again

Dear OAOA: The Bitter Single Guy is convinced that the reason the human race is able to reproduce itself at all is due to people's ability to see possibilities where there are none. Let's sum up here, shall we? You haven't heard from Goober for more than twice the time you were together, he broke up with you using one of the lamest excuses the BSG has ever heard, and now he says he could "always" trust you? Always, OAOA? Always for three months? Tell Goober that if he would like to invite you out on a date, you'd be willing to forget his so-far spineless behavior in order to give him another trial run. Remind him however, that you have the same father in case he's forgotten. On second thought, the BSG thinks you should just string him along then dump him, telling him that he looks bad in fluorescent lighting. That should confuse him sufficiently.
