A.   21 January 2015: Update! She finally texted me back after I texted her saying I can't seem to guess when she's free, and to let me know if she'd like to hang out again sometime. She said "I'm busy this week, but we can hang out next week as friends" I ma... (read in full...)

Help please... does my coworker like me?

Q.   I met this guy at work and started working quite closely with him about a month ago. He is a warm, friendly person and helps me out all the time at work. One time because I did something wrong at work, he had to wait for me to fix it for three...

A.   30 July 2014: Yeah, he's flirting with you. But I would avoid the office romance. They never end well (Unless one of you ends up working someplace else).... (read in full...)

What interesting things can I do with a guy at a boring mall?

Q.   I'm going on a date with a 23 year old I met online tomorrow afternoon. Now, at 19, this is my first date. I havn't even told him that because I find it so embarrassing. We've planned on meeting at a mall. I'd like some ideas on fun, flirty, ...

A.   30 July 2014: Yep, just like everyone has said, he's the guy it's his job to make it fun. And the venue doesn't matter. All you're doing it seeing if you connect with one another. Have fun!... (read in full...)

Q.   I met a girl about two months ago at Wondercon and after talking to her for a bit, got her number, and asked her out about a week later. After a couple text exchanges (with very delayed responses from her) for the next few weeks, and a missed pho...

A.   18 June 2014: I'm all for calling. And she actually suggested we go to the beach when she was with me for our next date. But the three times I've called since I met her, she hasn't picked up once, and texts back a day later, leading me to believe she just doe... (read in full...)

A.   17 February 2014: WiseOwl said it best. You are not invisible. And high school is a social construct that will soon end. The real world isn't like that. College isn't even like that. ... (read in full...)

He got me absolutely nothing for Valentine's Day!

Q.   Should I be upset he got me absolutely nothing for Valentine's Day? My boyfriend and I both agree that Valentine's day is not a big deal. We are in a long distance relationship-been together about 8 months. We don't see eachother very often in pe...

A.   17 February 2014: If you said it wasn't a big deal, then to him that was code for "I don't really care about getting a card or not" Just make sure if your with him next year to casually let him know how awesome you think Valentine's is so he doesn't make the same... (read in full...)

A.   17 February 2014: Well, she did end up calling back the following Tuesday. And after a curt conversation, broke up with me. It was pretty bad. She would not say why she is breaking up, did not want to talk about it, and simply said "the relationship has... (read in full...)

A.   17 February 2014: Ouch. Making out with the other guy was not a good call. There is a surefire way to know if he is NOT interested in you romantically. And that is: He talks about other girls in front of you. A guy will NEVER talk about another girl in ... (read in full...)

I will see my crush one last time in a few weeks. I want to know if he as any feelings for me, but I fear rejection. What should I do???

Q.   I'm in a bit of a dilemma right now. I have been in love with this guy for about half a year now and I will probably never get to be with him because he is going to uni this year and after that, our paths may never cross again. I'm only going to ...

A.   11 June 2012: It looks like you are scared of more than just rejection there. You're also scared that you are going on different paths already and feel like you will never find someone who will make you feel like that again. All I can say is that I have b... (read in full...)

A.   6 May 2012: So I know this happened a million years ago, but in case you're curious, she was indeed just being nice. I asked her "Congratulations! What do you do with Access Hollywood? "I'm actually finished with them and starting with Fox News next week" "... (read in full...)

A.   20 December 2011: Thank you so much for all your feedback! I guess the bracelet is a little too soon, and would probably make me come off as pretty desperate and weird. You are all right, jewelry is a very personal gift and I don't know her well enough yet. ... (read in full...)

A.   14 August 2011: I can sorta see where he is coming from. My parents actually dated for about 3 years, then moved in together, and then got married. The thing is, you really don't know who a person is until you live with them. At least, that's the philosop... (read in full...)
