A.   8 November 2009: You probably ARE over it... or maybe that is a brave face that I would encourage (fake it until you make it). I CAN say, he wasted your time, beautiful lady. :-) In the future, you will take online, as intense as it can feel, with a grain of ... (read in full...)

A.   8 October 2009: If he comes to your town, you have no obligation to spend the night with him in his hotel room. You can spend a lot of time with him and never set foot in there. You don't even have to go inside the lobby. The other option (in my opinion)... (read in full...)

A.   8 October 2009: Ouch. Tough situation. While I sympathize, you must never say anything to her. Essentially, you'd be putting your uncomfortable feelings on to her and she would then need to speak to her husband about them. You would not be welcome over any... (read in full...)

A.   8 October 2009: I don't know if he likes you, but this is how I would approach things. 1) He rejected you when you tried to approach him. It's up to HIM to make a move now. 2) You have already made yourself approachable. When you have the mentality that y... (read in full...)

Q.   Dear Cupid, I have a major problem. I am 3 months into school. Me and my GF broke up the first week. We were deeply in love with each other. We were always together till a new friend showed up at school. My gf wouldn't talk to me much at school but ...

A.   8 October 2009: The horrible thing about believing we are “in love” at fourteen is that we have little to no experience with that emotion, do not think we’ll feel that way about anyone else again, and it feels so intense. The wonderful thing about young love is ... (read in full...)

A.   7 October 2009: I doubt it has as much to do with your physical appearance as it is a result of your new-found confidence. Think about it. If you had not lost all the weight, but felt as great as you do now, don't you think you'd be more attractive to anyone (I ... (read in full...)

A.   6 October 2009: Just because someone SEEMS to match our ideal, doesn't mean they are the one. It takes time to grieve over lost loves; there is not specific time frame that works for everyone. You are in love with the girl you THOUGHT you had. In time, you will... (read in full...)
