Dr. Love strikes again!!

For those of you who don't know by now, I have become affectionately known as "Dr. Love." This stems from the fact that for the past two or three months now, everyone I know has been asking me for love advice, relationship advice, or advice about the opposite sex. I don't know how this came to be exactly, but I have taken it and ran with it. At least two or three times a week, I am called or confronted about a "love " issue. From " I like her, does she like me?" to " I don't get why he/she does...so and so" to "I am so mad at him/her I could kick his/her-----." I sit and patiently listen for hours as the distressed person pours out their heart to me. Then, I play devil's advocate, give them worse case scenaries and best case scenarios and leave the rest up to them. I don't tell them what to do or how to run their lives, I simply provide a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on.

I was taking a break from my Statistics marathon studying last night and grabbed a bite to eat with my friend Brooke. We were talking about the "Dr. Love" situation. I have been really stressed about finances lately, and a $945 credit card bill (Thanks to my car and Gainesville College) doesn't help any. She said that I should start charging for my " Dr. Love" sessions, like $5 per hour. Then, I wouldn't have to worry about bills. We laughed and continued to eat. Someone told me that this might be my calling. Too bad I'd have to spend four more years in college to make it happen.. I don't think so. I see my ability to listen and give advice as a blessing. I am glad that my friends trust me enough to tell me their problems and respect my opinion. So, if you ever need advice about anything concerning relationships, love or life in general, you know who to call.... DR. LOVE!!!
