I am always somewhat bemused when folks ask me for dating advice. Is it that they see in me a font of wisdom, experience, and a treasure chest of great advice? …yeah…OK…that passes pretty quickly. More apropos is the naval expression: “any port in a storm.” The storm of dating confusion is upon them, and I happen to be the nearest port; and that’s ok. If you are a parish priest long enough, you have had this conversation hundreds of times and often you know how the different stories turns out....
