A. 18 December 2016: Those type of books are total bunk. They are claims on popular (mis)belief that we can make anyone love us back. In reality, it is rather the opposite. Beating yourself for something he did not do does not make sense.
Instead, reflect on the men ... (read in full...)

I think I deserve a straight answer

A. 27 November 2016: I don't think that you "deserve" a clear yes or no but I agree with you that it would be nice particularly that she was flirting. It is somewhat irritating to see a girl exert so much fake flirtatious efforts for no ultimate aim.

Did she just want to sleep with me? Or could she really 'like' me?
Q. To cut a long story short, I had sex with my female housemate. I am not super attracted to her but yeah, it happened. I suspect she has been trying to seduce me for a while because she has asked to 'spoon' a couple of times after a night out. After ...
A. 20 November 2016: She likes you and you picked up on it when she talked you about "proper way". She likely could not get a chance for the proper way like a date and a night out because you probably never gave her any signal that you want to. Like the Anon said, she ... (read in full...)

Is being called ''plain and simple'' a compliment?
Q. Is being "Plain and Simple" a compliment? We were having dinner the other night and I asked my husband of over 20 years did it taste ok. I said its just plain food, meaning unprocessed. He said "Yes, Plain and Simple,just the way I like my women"...

A. 7 September 2016: If his intent was to cheat, I doubt that he would disclose so much information about her. Professionally, she is just another routine business bid and listening to her stuff is part of getting her business. Now, I don't know if he also routinely ... (read in full...)
