LIZ SOARES: Babies mercurial at best of times; at a restaurant after 7 p.m. …?
Two years ago, my husband, Paul, and I went to Slate’s restaurant in Hallowell to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. It was early evening on a weeknight, so the dining room was pleasantly filled, but not overcrowded. A couple with a baby about 6 months old came in and were seated nearby.

‘Getting Naked’ experimenter needs help
I’ve been a religious follower of you and the “Getting Naked Experiment” for almost a year now. It’s brought me social, emotional and personal success. So, when I saw a pretty girl at a party last night, I went over to her and introduced myself. And made her laugh. And asked about her life, her major and her dreams. And when I left, I was filled with so much optimism and so much hope that I would eventually find the love of my life by talking to pretty girls I see across the room at a party. But then I woke up, and I can’t stop thinking about this girl. She left in a hurry, and I was too afraid to ask for her contact info. I also noticed that she was texting a guy and, while I don’t know for sure, I think she might be dating someone. Now I’m obsessed with this one girl I barely know and can’t really get in touch with, and I can’t stop thinking about her. And now I’m sitting here, proud of myself for taking a risk but also disappointed that we didn’t end up frenching in the back of her car. I can’t help but feel this isn’t the lifestyle you had in mind. I want to move on, but my mind is stuck on this one girl. Any advice?
