WOMAN GIVING MEN FAKE PHONE NUMBER IS NO LADY
DEAR CR-ABBY:
I am a licensed psychologist and the director of a small counseling center at a liberal arts college. Part of my duties include answering emergency calls from students who are in crisis.
A local coed apparently has been regularly giving out my cell phone number to young men she meets in bars whom she does not want to reject on the spot.
Cr-Abby, you wouldnt believe the calls and text messages I receive at all hours of the day and night. I hear a lot in my line of work, yet some of these calls have made me blush!
Not only is this an inconvenience for me, but it would create a difficult situation for someone in a real crisis who can't get through to me because my phone is tied up with these phone calls and text messages.
Ladies, young and old alike: Please be honest. If you are not interested in the man -- say so! You don't have to annihilate him. Just say that you enjoyed meeting him but the "spark" isn't there, and wish him luck in his dating future. Please do not give him someone else's number. That's a coward's way out, and it is extremely unbecoming. And, at the very least, you are creating an inconvenience for someone else. I know.

Dear Phone Fodder Frantic in Philly,
The ole fake phone number turn down...where last nights' dream turns into tomorrows' humilation, not cool indeed! That said, I just got another letter from someone I think you know....
Dear Cr-Abby, my old geezer of a pysc-professor keeps hitting on me. He said I could have an "A" if he could get a "B". I mean, you know, he's like 80 years older than me...gross! So you know what I do,..I give all the loser guys that come on to me at bars his cell phone number that he gave me to arrange "home tutoring":

So, anyway, back to you....I think these lads that just got dished need a little therapy anyway...rejection is a cruel blow to the male ego....turn those calls in to dollars and sign them up for some couch time so they can learn how to earn some bedtime.
Turn that wanna begirlfriend of a student into your field sales force, prospecting the town for patients.
Cr-Abby
