Today's hint was "Have you ever worn a tuxedo?" Today's answer was a blank look. Sloman is one of the smartest monsters I know. His math skills are legendary, no one can beat him at chess - not even me - and his ability to think in three dimensions is almost magical. However, when it comes to matters of the heart, he shows a baffling lack of awareness. I know I should be straightforward and just say "Sloman, going to the prom is important to me, and I want you to ask me to go." I will do that if I need to, but I would rather that he ask unprompted. I am not holding it against him that he has not yet asked, but part of me is holding out hope that he will.
