Yo-yo boyfriend
should spin solo
Dear Harlan,
I have been seriously dating a
guy for about eight months. We
have been through about five break
ups. Recently he broke up with me
again. A week later he apologized,
saying he did not mean what he
said and he wanted to get back to
gether again. Two days later he
said he wanted to break up. Then
'about two days after that he want
ed to get back together.
Between being together and not
being together, he would tell me we
would still be together if he knew
how to handle me, school, panic at
tacks, his car, not being able to get a
job, his siblings, smoking, etc. But
when we are together he flirts with
other girls right in front of me.
When I accuse him of it, he denies
it. I’m getting very confused.Do you
have any advice?
— Hard to handle
Dear Hard to handle:
I say wait until you’ve been
dumped 25 times before calling it
quits.
He doesn’t know what he wants.
The last thing you need to do is get
ADVICE
Ask
_Harlan_
involved with a guy who is so reck
less with your emotions. You de
serve better.
You need to get your life togeth
er. If you’re so desperately look
ing to be with someone who is so
confused, it only makes me think
you’re confused. Take some time
to get back to better on your own.
Gain a new sense of confidence
and independence and then start
over again with someone who is
n’t so needy and confused.
This guy sounds anything but
positive. Besides, he’s too busy for
you. He still needs to find a job, fix
his car, have his panic attacks, find
time to stare at other girls, etc.

al, bleeding-heart melodies that
make up his fragile and tranquil
foundation.
The Beatles’ influence is unde
niable, and “Figure 8” sounds a
little like the long lost second disk
from “Abbey Road.”
Smith does a good job here, and
r
his fans will watch to see if he’ll
continue to push himself forward.
“Everything Reminds Me of
Her" and "Easy Way Out" recap
ture the folksy simplicity of his
early records, while "Son of Sam"
and "LA" rock with newfound
conviction. As long as his em
pathic songwriting skills and lu
cid voice remain intact, Smith
will continue to make immaculate
records like this one.
