Happy people always get me down

May 26, 2009

Dear Carolyn,
I’m dating a guy who is so freaking happy he’s about to drive me nuts. I’m all for being optimistic and upbeat but sometimes I just want to burst his bubble. I doubt I’ll be able to keep dating him since he’s starting to notice that I’m not smiling anymore.
Any thoughts?
Gina

Dear Gina,
The sad thing about happiness is that it can’t buy you money.
I’m just say’n,
Carolyn
