Three dates in and she does't want to kiss!
Q. So I met a girl through Tinder and we went out for dinner. I'm 30 and she's 27. We hit it off really well. We talked for nearly 4 hours. She had a pretty bad cough though, and I didn't attempt any sort of physical contact except a brief touch of the ...
A. 31 January 2018: In fairness to the her dinner and a movie is just a low alcohol option. I'm not sure her motives are money related.
But your reference points are so far apart it really isn't worth bothering with continuing the relationship.

I love my girlfriend but not sure I love our relationship
Q. I love my girlfriend but not sure I love our relationship. I think shes an amazing gal, and really enjoy the time we spend together. We've been together nearly 3 years, but live in different cities - enough to see for a quick evening or long ...
A. 31 January 2018: If you feel like you aren't getting the whole story then you probably aren't. You can't be sure about why you aren't, but the fact remains that she's keeping part of herself separate. Why after three years do you think she's doing that?

Should I call it quits and move on?
Q. Dear Cupid, I think my relationship might be over, or it as been for a long time now...or maybe it’s not? Anyway... Myself (24/25 this year) and partner (23/24 this year) have been together for almost three and a half years and I/we are h...

A. 29 January 2018: I agree with Honeypie. You should read a book called 'Why does he do that?'by Lundy Bancroft. It details controlling behaviour. What just happened to you was controlling behaviour. He withdrew affection from you when he didn't like what he saw ... (read in full...)
He doesn't want my advice
Q. What should I think of this? I'm feeling negative and weird about it. I've been together with my boyfriend for over only half a year. I think it's natural to make suggestions for someone you care about when they are going through a problem. He is ...
A. 26 January 2018: There is nothing less likely to be taken on board as unsolicited advice. If he wants your advice he'll ask for it.

Why did he block me? Was it because I didn’t have sex with him?
Q. Hey guys.. I randomly met this guy last week and as soon as I saw him, I liked him. He seemed shy and I could tell he was into me but I knew he wouldn't ask me out, so I did. He took my number and he asked me to dinner on Saturday. Well he knew how ...
A. 17 January 2018: You didn't do anything wrong. He sounds like a clown. Being so incapable of communicating what he wants so much that he twists you out of shape is his problem not yours.
None of this is your fault at all but young men are fantasists. They are very... (read in full...)
Should we split so that I can folllow my dream?
Q. I've been with my boyfriend for three years and we've been living with each other for 2.5 years. I feel as time is going by that I'm changing and he isn't (this is probably because he's 25 and I'm 22). I do absolutely love him and he's my best ...

A. 17 January 2018: I'm guessing the sex you had wasn't 'in public' but 'in a public place'. If it was the former you'd both be arrested for indecency. As Andie's Thoughts rightfully points out that is about risk and taboo, not love and romance. I echo her thoughts ... (read in full...)
