[3356A]

Maybe she’s just too smart to mess up her life, or maybe the sort of guys she’s attracted to (and who are attracted to her) aren’t assertive enough.

He or she spilled on their person a highly evaporative liquid, or perhaps a cooling liniment,  during an experiment.  You might want to hand them a blanket.

[3352A]

I wouldn’t question such an achievement.  You and your spouse must be very compatible, patient, and understanding, or probably a combination of all that.

Because you’re her boyfriend. (Or is that just a symptom?)

[3337A]

There’s someone with that name in the public Duke directory, so you’re welcome to email her. But don’t be disappointed if she gives you the brush-off.
