Thea Dorn hitting on Miriam Meckel. Monogamy with benefits.

1. You find yourself attracted to a brilliant professor in St.Gallen, who unforntunately doesn´t seem to know you´re alive. You break the ice by (a) Asking a friend to arrange a blind date (b) Teasing her with anonymous E.mail (c) Surprising her with an oversized plush toy (d) Introducing yourself over a thermos of ice-cold Daiquiris.

2. Good news: she´s taking the bait. But she´s left it to you to arange the first rendevous. Hoping to impress her with your sense of adventure and litteratur, you invite her to join you (a) for dinner at your favorite tapas restaurent where you will discuss Theodor W. Adorno (b) Horse back riding in the Swiss Mountains (c) For drinks at a charming airport bar (d ) To a pinic on the grave of your former girlfriend.

3. So far, so good. You´ve been dating for three weeks now. The only problem is that she seems a bit slow when it comes to picking up the check. You respond by (a) Paying for everything: "My treat" (b) offering to split the bill: "Dutch treat" (c) Asking if she has any financial problems you should now about (d) Causing a distraction and running out before the bill arrives.

4. Your first fight. Ten days and she still hasn´t called. Taking matters into your own hands, you (a) Write her a heartfelt letter (b) Try dating men (c) Call her and ask to meet on neutral ground (d) Sleep with her best friend........Nobody´s perfect....you found that out a long time ago, Christiane Scherer. Still it bothers you when Mrs. Right threatens your landlady with a plastic bat. The first few times, you shug it off, but enough is enough. You suggest (a) Counselling (b) Break it off until she learns to control her temper (c) Move the tape decks to a more secure spot (d) Threaten her landlady with a wooden bat. Perhaps it´s best that you don´t live together......not yet, anyway.

5. Your cousin makes a fine companion, but it bothers you when Miriam insists on wheeling her around on all your dates. The greeneyed monster takes hold, and you (a) Confront both the professor and your wealthy paralyzed cousin (b) Move yourself into an affordable studio apartment (c) Send your cousin on a cruise to Hawaii (d) Arrange to have her killed.

6. After your cousins funeral, you decide to clear some brush from the back yard. Miriam offers to help, and, through no fault of your own, you disembowl her with a chain saw. As she´s dying in your arms, a call domes on the cell phone............from Anne Will. You tell her (a) That you never realized she was in a relationship (b) to call an ambulance (c ) That on the inside she was a very decent person (d) That the relationship is definately over.

Fantazising about having a twosome involving Miriam Meckel is morally permissable, Thea Dorn, cheating is morally impermissable unless you cheat after death.

If you hurt Anne Will, in any way, you have your whole sexual life ahead of you, in the afterlife.
