Dear LFTP: Frank the neat freak
- Am I right in seeing more minuses than pluses in a relationship with Frank, the neat freak who has no interest in the arts?
A listener ('Neat Enough in Pennsylvania') weighs a relationship with 'Frank,' a super neat freak with no interest in culture or the arts, asking if she is seeing more minuses than pluses. The hosts conclude she is inventing flaws to avoid admitting she just doesn't want to date him — the '360-degree gaze' is normal room-scanning, Frank has never complained — and advise honesty: figure out the real reason and part company cleanly rather than splitting hairs. Comedy bits include the 'dribble on your chin' test and one host claiming the nickname 'Roomba.' The 'secular answer' says friendship is fine, dating is not.
