What are the rules, BSG?
Hey BSG,
I sent you an email about a girl I met just a month or so ago, but I realized I’m not sure how this works. I was wondering, in case you didnt see my email yet or what, if you could tell me how this works. Do I send you something and you eventually write back to my address, or what? I have a more detailed account of my situation Id like to send you but I would like ot make sure Im doing this all right, and that eveything is confidential. Can you give me more idea of who you are? Thanks, TDB
Dear TDB: The Bitter Single Guy always appreciates his persistent readers! The way it works is that the BSG receives more letters than he can possible answer (short of asking his faithful readers to help him pay his rent, and the BSG would never do that), so letters are chosen based on interesting-ness, brevity (if it takes a long time to read, the BSG will find a shorter letter), and how much all his readers would benefit from the response.
All that aside, because you were persistent TBD, the BSG will dig through his email and find your letter so he can provide you a response within 24 hours of this posting (how’s that for service, eh?).
As far as providing more of an idea who the Bitter Single Guy is, isn’t it enough to know that there’s a little bit of Bitter Single Guy in all of us?
BSG
