I remember we also talked a lot about Michael Corleone.''

I saw Dune, which I know I shouldn't have seen, at like 5, which is just completely—."

Dear Fonseca
I just started dating again after being married for 13 years. I've been out with Joe several times. On Saturday, he told me that I looked like and reminded him of his ex-girlfriend. I was startled and confused because no man has ever told me that. Joe told me to relax and that I should take his comment as a compliment. On Sunday, I told my girlfriend's what Joe said. They were appalled and said I shouldn't date him because he's creepy and not over his ex. Was Joe's comment a compliment or not? Should I continue to date him? Is comparing me to his ex a dealbreaker?
