And. It's. Free. (And there are endless Obama groups there, if you are into that sort of thing.)

Maybe you could write to classmates and tell them you are deceased? That was my sister's foolproof plan for dealing with Columbia Records.
I'm afraid of it. My wife had to have drinks with someone she really didn't like a few weeks back because of it.

I couldn't handle that, even if the other person was buying.

You wife is clearly too kind. As long as you are willing to say no/not respond, it isn't that dangerous.

Although I do have a hard time saying no to friend requests, and there are some people from high school/college that I barely remember who have popped up.

Not at all -- it will flow behind you like a cape. A fabulous, sheer, floral cape!

Have you tried diuretics? Pop a little pill and, twelve hours later, its like you've been to three consecutive spin classes. Without the chafing!

I have said no to a bunch of friend requests. It's not hard, once you get the hang of it. And if you're a bitch to begin with.

So here is my hypo to all of you:

If you were in LA and needed to take a trip that was at least 3,000 miles round trip during the winter, where would you go? Assume also that neither you nor your travel companion are big fans of "winter weather". And go ahead and throw in that locations with decent Starwood options are preferred because Starwoods are free (or prepaid, depending upon your point of view) and no one is in the mood to pay for an expensive vacation right now.

Wow, that hypo was tiring to write. Think I'll take a nap now.

I like new hotels. Here's the page with new starwoods hotels in in South America!

If it can wait until January, you've got a nice looking new place in Costa Rica. Otherwise, Panama might be nice.

I would stick with your current strategy, then.

So, inappropriateness of thread title aside, I need breakup advice. I am sure you will all be shocked to learn that I have never really instigated a breakup before, but and thinking that I need to now.

We have been dating for several months now, although the status of the "relationship" is a bit in flux. For much of the time, it has been "casual" at her suggestion, with no objection from me. But even though I like her, enjoy hanging out with her, and we are compatible on quite a few levels, I don't think I have serious feelings for her. I don't know exactly where she is, although several month ago she actually said that she thought "she needs to be single again." The intervening sex and hanging out rather muddled what that meant, thus my confusion.

Anyway, how do you break up with someone with whom you are at most "casual" by agreement, but yet more than casual in practice (i.e., hanging out/hooking up every weekend, and with some frequency during the week)?

Of course, the added complication is that we work for the same employer. We don't generally work together, although that is a possibility. Hopefully it won't be a big deal as I don't think there are any hard feelings (at least yet), but nonetheless, it is a complication.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Stop seeing her. Let it fizzle. She's probably as 'meh' about you as you are about her.

Alternatively, think about it a lot. Make up a Rube Goldberg plan to unwind it in the most neurotic manner possible. This will create a new vein of material for the board.

Will Obama stop this?
I believe there was a class action over this at some dating web site. People pretending to be interested daters contacted advertisers just as the advertisers' subscriptions were running out. Just pay for another 90 days and, yep we can date.

And yes Obama will stop this. The class actions, that is. "Anyone who denies there’s a crisis with [insert pro plaintiff cause de jour] is probably a trial lawyer." Barack Obama, 2004.
