Our next caller wonders how to manage a Type-A guy she’s dating that can only get dates with him when he pencils her into his busy schedule. Now with questions about a mysterious exclusive rock climbing club he’s in, and the fact that they’ve only dated for four months, she wonders if it’s best to just move on.
