A.   29 November 2011: you're not ruining his life! he should be more supportive and understanding! having said that, i know 3 years seems like a really long time to just call it quits, but if he can't be more thoughtful and forthcoming with his feelings, he doesn't ... (read in full...)

A.   28 November 2011: At your age, I would have a tendancy to believe he just isn't interested anymore. If days go by without him texting you and weeks go by without you seeing eachother, then he's just not that into you. The moment you start focusing on something (or ... (read in full...)

A.   28 November 2011: Aunt Honesty is 100% right. You deserve better. You'll probably always love her and care about her and that's okay, but if you keep letting her walk all over you, you'll resent yourself one day for being weak willed! ... (read in full...)

A.   28 November 2011: You don't have daddy issues unless you think you do. Most dads suffer from pretty serious "divorce guilt" and just aren't sure what to do with themselves and their relationships afterwards. I don't even think you should feel "hurt" that you had to ... (read in full...)

A.   28 November 2011: The minute you find yuorself something else to focus on, he'll come around. That's the way guys work, even the nice ones. They ALL love the chase. He just needs to feel like he's got to work for it a little bit. I'm not saying be mean or curt or ... (read in full...)

Controlling mother of adult son

Q.   I am dating a man who is 23 and I am 31, I am divorced with 3 kids and he has never been married and has no kids. We both know this is not the ideal situation and neither expected this to last but after 2 years we are very much in love and can even ...

A.   28 November 2011: The truth is that the issue isn't you at all. She doesn't like what her son is doing, and it isn't personal against you. Your boyfriend needs to stand up to his mother if he feels that strongly about you. I was with my ex for 6 years and my par... (read in full...)

Is he going to come around and realize he can find a way better looking woman?

A.   28 November 2011: Oh my goodness, girl! Relax! He has his own baggage and he's probably been hurt before, just like you. Just becuase he's gorgeous doesn't mean he thinks he's too good for you, or that he ever will. He has probably already dated women as attractive ... (read in full...)

Were these bad questions to ask?

Q.   I started dating this woman. She has asked me these questions many many times. "Why do you love me?", "Why me?" Why do you find me attractive?" I easily answer them. Early in the am, I texted her cell phone with some questions of my own. I ...

A.   28 November 2011: Well, some of the questions you asked her point to low self esteem on your part. By asking her "Why me when you could have a lot better?".. you're basically telling her that you have confidence issues. Her questions were only "Why do you find me ... (read in full...)

A.   21 April 2011: It's hard when you're far away from each other.. a lot of your "relationship" plays out in your mind when you aren't dating in person, so it's hard to guage his sincerity. If he's really into you, he'll make the trip sooner rather than later. You ... (read in full...)

Q.   I met a guy on Plenty of Fish, we texted back and forth for a month with pretty standard 'get to know you' questions, e.g.: what would you bring on a desert island, what are your parents like, etc. After a few weeks of texting and establishing that ...

A.   20 April 2011: Oh no, I appreciate the humor :) I seriously think he's trying to "train" me not to be so needy! Not needy, but I do get kind of paranoid if he doesn't text me back after a day or so. I haven't heard from him since he texted me Sunday after I was ... (read in full...)

A.   20 April 2011: Don't go back to your ex.. That is A LOT of pain to go through for a guy... How did you get pregnant twice? Were you going to keep the one you miscarried? How did he mistreat you? How long were you together? ... (read in full...)

A.   20 April 2011: Don't get completely carried away, but if he says he likes you, believe him. He wouldn't ask about your Mom if he wasn't trying to kiss your ass a little! What do you mean "I told him I liked him and that I understood if he decided that was a ... (read in full...)

Q.   I am nearly twenty and he is thirty one. Is that too much of an age difference? I know others that are his age and older and I would regard them as scarily older than me at times but with my boyfriend that's never there. I feel almost as though ...

A.   20 April 2011: You guys were friends before you dated, so I'm sure it's not about how you look. He's attracted to your personality, and if he hasn't expressed any concern about your age difference, then it doesn't bother him. ... (read in full...)

I'm facing all kinds of peer pressure...I definitely need help dealing with this!

Q.   I'm feeling really pressurized to be 'normal' at the moment. I don't understand why I'm being treated like a freak just because my interests are a bit different from other people I know and I didn't even think they were that weird. For example I ...

A.   20 April 2011:  Screw everyone! You are wise not to be interested in partying and boys! I understand how feeling different and isolated because of your interests can be hurtful, but in reality, the people who make fun of you are jealous that they have the ... (read in full...)

Boyfriend does crack and swears he doesn't cheat on me. Is that even possible?

A.   11 August 2010: No, it's not possible! I mean, it's possible that he didn't cheat on you.. but it is NOT possible that he is not lying. Drug addicts do whatever they have to: lie, cheat, steal, manipulate, scam, burn bridges, hurt people... the only thing they are ... (read in full...)
