Q.   I have a met this woman on Match. She is divorced, same age as me. We have been talkling on the phone everyday, texting, emailing. I spent this past weekend at her house. We have been going out for a month. She told me that I am so different than ...

A.   28 January 2013: You're basically asking the same question you did in the first place and the answer is still the same: take it easy. Don't worry about her being online because the two of you don't have an exclusive relationship! As I stated before, you shouldn't ... (read in full...)

We have been going out but she is still on website every day where we met. What's up with that?

Q.   I have a met this woman on Match. She is divorced, same age as me. We have been talkling on the phone everyday, texting, emailing. I spent this past weekend at her house. We have been going out for a month. She told me that I am so different than ...

A.   22 January 2013: You're going to ruin any potential relationship with her if you can't learn to take it easy. I misread your original question; I thought you both agreed to take down your profiles, but I see she didn't agree to anything. A few dates is a drop in ... (read in full...)

Q.   IM blonde blue eyes and i dont feel i am the prettiest of girls so inorder for me to look nice i like doing my make up but i have no idea how boys like it, i dont want to come acroos as fae but i still want to look nice, can you help me?...

A.   22 January 2013: Every guy is different. I'd say most prefer less makeup over more, or at least it should enhance your features as opposed to being the star of the show. Go to YouTube and look at the different makeup tutorials, then find one that you like and... (read in full...)

Q.   i have recently moved into halls for university, and moved in with a guy and we instantly hit it off. this was in September. now we are properly together and i like him so much, he makes me so happy and is definitely helping to repair the damage a ...

A.   22 January 2013: Many people have felt the same way, but for most loneliness is worse than the chance someone will break your heart. Obviously being single for the rest of your life to avoid that chance is daft. While it won't take all of the pain out of gett... (read in full...)

Do relationships develop from sleeping with someone you have just met?

Q.   Do relationships develop from sex? I’ve always been the type of person who hasn't slept around and would never let myself be used by a fella for sex. By doing this I think I have kept men at arm’s length and therefore have never developed any long...

A.   22 January 2013: The anonymous guy brought up a good point: guys like things to be easy. If you give it up right away they know they'll be able to have sex with you with little or no effort. Why would you wine and dine a girl if you don't have to. That effort i... (read in full...)

Q.   my girlfriend is in college with me she is 19, we've been dating almost 2 years she's suddenly starting to act more distant and just generally doesn't seem as happy, which is starting to affect our relationship and also myself. we were doin...

A.   22 January 2013: "Change or we're through" isn't the way I'd put it, but there isn't much else you can do at this point. She seems to be growing apart from you. Asking her "what's wrong" isn't working and that wont change no matter how frequently you ask. ... (read in full...)

I am young but don't want to ruin my life with a dumb choice! What should I do about dating?

Q.   I had a boyfriend for around 4 years I met him in high school and we became friends. However, our relationship as boyfriend-girlfriend was underground (very few people know about us going on for the first months) The main reason is my parents do ...

A.   22 January 2013: Moving to another state to be with a guy you had a fling with sounds like a pretty bad idea. Also, I don't mean to be a downer but it's not as easy to get a good job out of college then a lot of people think. That's not always the case but it f... (read in full...)

My partner is constantly belittling my looks, my opinions and my intelligence.

Q.   I love my partner and he loves me, but I dont feel like he appreciates me. I am an attractive lady and have always had a lot of male attention my whole life. I am now 36 yrs old and look probably 28 yrs old. Not that I am basing who I am off my ...

A.   22 January 2013: He sounds like a jerk and that won't change by talking to him. The only thing that would let him know what a jerk he's been would be to leave him, or at least make him think you are. He might finally snap out of it. The only realistic alternat... (read in full...)

Do relationships develop from sleeping with someone you have just met?

Q.   Do relationships develop from sex? I’ve always been the type of person who hasn't slept around and would never let myself be used by a fella for sex. By doing this I think I have kept men at arm’s length and therefore have never developed any long...

A.   22 January 2013: It depends on how long you waited. If it's a couple of weeks and they lost interest than a relationship was never an option with them. Maybe a friends with benefits one but that's it. A real relationship may develop from a fwb one but it's not very ... (read in full...)

A.   22 January 2013: Have you met her in person? If so how long have you been dating in person? If you haven't met or have only been on a few dates than don't expect anything from anyone at that point. I'd just drop it and open your account again until you've b... (read in full...)

Co-worker made out with me late one night and now avoids me saying he doesn't feel the same as me. What the heck?

Q.   Hi, I currently have a boyfriend and have been with him for over two years. However about mid last month I had a situation with someone I worked with. It was during a work night out, I was only working there temporarily and don't anymore. Anyway as ...

A.   21 January 2013: Was he drunk? Anything someone says while drunk should be taken very lightly. Also, as stated, be a responsible adult and quit cheating on your boyfriend. Either break up or be faithful. Just because the spark is gone doesn't mean you should b... (read in full...)

Q.   i walked into a salon yesterday for a job and got a position for a receptionist. i knew her from before and I was really excited for it as i was looking for it for a while. the manager there told me first i can come in from tomorrow but then said ...

A.   21 January 2013: It may be hard to tell but I think in her text message what she was really saying was "you're fired." At least that was the vibe I got. But, I don't blame her because your message basically told her "You have no idea how to do your job so I'm going ... (read in full...)

The guy I am dating was texting and making out with girls, even my friends????

Q.   I started hanging out with this guy late October/early November, and over time I started liking him and the feelings were mutual (or so it seemed). We got really close and it seemed like we'd be official any day now. Anyways, 2 days ago I was u...

A.   21 January 2013: It doesn't sound like you were exclusive so I don't think what he did was wrong. You need to learn a lesson here. Unless it's specifically stated that you're exclusive the other person may be dating other people. They may assume you're doing the ... (read in full...)

Q.   Apologies for the length of this but I think it's important to have the details.. the devil is always in the details... Me: I'm single and approaching 50. It's been a few years since my last serious relationship but I'm fine with that. Having see...

A.   21 January 2013: There's a million guys out there; to me it doesn't make sense to risk hurting a good friend to get laid. If it's going to happen either way than yes, you should say something. Maybe she'd want to join, who knows. ... (read in full...)

Q.   OK Yes I just got out of a 9 year off and on relationship. I can't stress how much I am over the guy the father of my seven year old and now unborn child. He doesn't want anything to do with us...again. i asked for advice on convincing a guy I've ...

A.   21 January 2013: You're kind of asking the same question over again. If you don't want to take everybody's advice then you are free to do what you think is best for you and your kids. The fact remains that it's difficult to begin a long term relationship via a lo... (read in full...)

Am I too jealous of what my boyfriend watches?

Q.   I've been with my boyfriend for 10 months. We are really close. He would never ever cheat on me. Yet I still have jealousy issues. I feel like my jealousy is severe. Like some other women, I don't like when my boyfriend watches TV because I know he ...

A.   20 January 2013: Insane/crazy...? Not from this alone. Overly jealous? Absolutely. Being too much like this can push someone away. Let him see some boobs from time to time on tv, he's not exactly going to leave you to go be with an actress. However if yo... (read in full...)

Should I break up with my boyfriend? How can I do it without hurting him?

Q.   Hi, I'm 16. Recently I started a relationship with this guy, but I made a mistake that hurt him and me. Eventually we worked things out and got back together. Before my mistake I was feeling like I wanted to break up with him- things just didn...

A.   20 January 2013: You can't break up with him without hurting him so don't let that stop you. Just try to be compassionate and sensitive to his feelings. If he has questions answer them honestly (unless it would needlessly hurt him) and be patient with him. Don't go ... (read in full...)

My boyfriend doesn't show me any affection. I've tried everything to improve myself. What else can I do?

Q.   My boyfriend and I have been together for about a year and a half now. He's in the military and is divorced with 2 kids. After a year of long distance relationship, I decided to move in with him. I am having the hardest time not receiving affection ...

A.   20 January 2013: You need to recognize that the feelings you have for him aren't quite what you think they are. People are wired in a way that makes them crave what they can't have. You feel like you love him and want to do anything to please him because you want to ... (read in full...)

How could she give a guy a Bj if our marriage is really great? Twice I've found out she's cheated on me.

Q.   I don't really know where to begin so I will back up to before we moved to this island. Four years ago my wife wanted a divorce. I could totally understand why at the time. I had gotten fat and lazy, letting her do most of the work while serving ...

A.   20 January 2013: I'm guessing there is more that she's not telling you, otherwise she's just a really bad cheater because the only two times she did it she got caught. If I was you I'd be very concerned that she can't be faithful even when she's happy. To me th... (read in full...)

A.   20 January 2013: I am turned off by too much makeup; I look at it as a crutch. If you need to layer it on than you're hiding yourself. A little to accentuate your natural beauty, not a ton of it to try and create beauty. ... (read in full...)

"time apart" means break? or break up?

Q.   If your boyfriend says we need time apart, no contact for a bit is it okay to clarify if this is a "break" or "breakup" or should I just give up...

A.   20 January 2013: I don't think time apart is selfish at all- telling someone you're with that you won't give them time apart is more selfish. Sometimes people just need to be alone for a little. It doesn't always mean a break-up, but it can. Give him some ti... (read in full...)

A.   19 January 2013: She's an adult. She's doesn't need you and you don't need her. You're very lucky to have a happy family even after 15 years, it'd be rediculous to lose that over nothing. As stated friendship is fine, but stop flirting and stop hiding. And... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi dearcupid, I am not sure what to do in my relationship of 2 years. When I met my bf he presented himself as a financially comfortable insurance salesman and of course I didn't ask deeply personal questions. Then as time passed and we enjoyed ...

A.   19 January 2013: Be blunt with him. Give him a chance to figure out what the problem is, maybe even let you be in charge of his money. Tell him you are finding it hard to imagine a future where you're always having to worry about money. Make sure you let him know... (read in full...)

Her view: Do as I say, not as I do. Is it worth it, at all, to have a big talk with her about her own inconsistencies?
