Dating Issues

Pain and drama are hurting our relationship. We were engaged. My ex and I broke up over his past infatuations with my best friend and I had a thing on a spring break with one of my good friends. But I told him about it as soon as I got back and confessed everything. Now him and my best friend do not talk anymore and we are trying to work things out. Continue reading →

I’m in a somewhat of a relationship with a guy for 7 months now. He said I am someone he can count on, and we talk to each other every day and see each as often as we can. The problem is that I do everything for the relationship. The only time I have his undivided attention is when we are having sex. He still says I’m his friend. Is this relationship going anywhere? I love him. Continue reading →

I have met a guy and we have been talking for 4 weeks now. I know that is a short amount of time, but we both feel that there is something “unspoken” about our relationship. We say that we are friends who have strong feelings and emotions for one another. I truly believe that he is my true soulmate, but I also don’t want to rush our relationship. Continue reading →

I have been with my boyfriend for 2 months. I love him very much, and he says he loves me. But I am not so sure. He never does anything to hurt me but I know his past, and I want to trust him. I have been hurt so many times before and by a really important person in my life — my father. But how do I know if my boyfriend is really serious, or if its just a phase that will disappear? Continue reading →

I’m 16 and have liked this guy for almost 4 years, and to make things even more complicated we were once best friends! Anyway, I actually kind of think that I’m in love with him, like real love, and I know he knows but I don’t know if he feels the same way I do because he sometimes acts like he does but he sends kind of mixed signals and I’m not sure what he means by them. Continue reading →

My friends and I go out to clubs every weekend and it seems like they meet a new girl every time but I never do. I’ve tried going up to girls and starting conversations but it seems like they get bored. I try to ask questions and show similarities but it never works. I know it’s not an attractive thing because they seem interested until we begin talking. What am I doing wrong? Continue reading →

I recently told a man how I felt about him. I fell in love with him at first sight. But I don’t know how he feels about me. We went out a few times and he told me that he had been in a relationship for 5 years, and that she was still jumping in and out of his life. Of course, I had him drive me home, and on the way he told me how easy it would be for him to fall in love with me. Now I’m wondering how he really feels. Continue reading →

I’ve know this very special girl now for 7 months. When we started seeing each other she said she wasn’t looking for anything serious. Just the other day she asked me what I was hoping for with us. I told her I was holding back because of her not being ready, otherwise I could really fall for you! She said she doesn’t feel any chemistry with me. Continue reading →

I’ve been with this girl for 6 months. We care for each other very much, but there is one thing she doesn’t like about me. I guess I pretty much let her always have her way and I do just about anything she wants me to do. She has never taken advantage of my love for her, but it bothers her that I seem to do whatever she wants me to do. Continue reading →

I am a 16 year old female with a guy who is 20. We love each other deeply but the problem is I am not allowed to go out until 1 am and my boyfriend is beginning to say things like “Well if you can’t stay out until 1am then I am going to find a girl who can!” I don’t know what to do or what to say. Am I doing the wrong thing by staying with him? Continue reading →

I have had terrible luck with men. I don’t feel that I am ever going to find the perfect man. I have 3 children and don’t want to expose them to any more men. If I start dating again, how should I handle the relationship? Should I keep him from meeting my kids? And how do I go about asking him questions about himself (like an interview) without offending him? Continue reading →

I am 18 and I am in my first real relationship. How do you know if the relationship will last forever? How will you know if your boyfriend is serious about you? How do you know if you are with your soulmate? Continue reading →

I have been in a relationship for just over a month. We met at work and now live together after becoming friends. I realize to be living with her so soon is quite a big step but that is not really the problem. She left her home town to be here, and has suddenly become very homesick and misses her friends and family. I am scared she may leave me to go back. Continue reading →

I have fallen in love with my best friend. It has been about 2 years that I have felt this way about him. I met him 3 years ago because he was dating one of my other good friends, and he would come to me for support and advice in what to do in their relationship, when they were having trouble, or he just came to me for ideas on how to make her happy. Continue reading →

My “ex” boyfriend and I broke up a week ago. He did something nobody should have done to their girlfriend’s sister. He told her to go f-off and the family too, in front of the movie theater, and in front of me. He didn’t meant it towards me he said. And last week, he grabbed for my left ring finger and told me to leave that one open (meaning he wanted to marry me). Continue reading →

I’m really stupid on how to get a conversation started with a girl I am attracted to because the worst thing you can do is freeze up and not say anything. This is what I do, then I’m in trouble. Wo what I’m asking is for some advice on what to say to a girl when I meet her. I can say “Hello… How are you?….” but then I have no idea whatsoever what to say next!!! Continue reading →

What is a soulmate? Is there such a thing as a soulmate? My boyfriend doesn’t agree with the concept. He says people are in our lives to teach us a lesson, so once we’ve learned whatever it is that person needs to teach us, the relationship will end. So basically what’s the point of getting involved with someone because it’s just going to end!!?? Continue reading →

I’ve never been on a date or had a relationship, never even been “out” at a club or anything. I’ve been moving around for most of my life and I have never managed to keep hold of the friends I make. All that makes me pretty socially incompetent. People like me to be friends, but I wouldn’t know the first thing about starting a relationship. Continue reading →

I’m suffering from too much drama. It all started out with this one boy. We really got to know either and we were getting really close and we went out and broke up. It only lasted a couple days but we went back to how we were in the beginning and then we began doing more things and we went out off and on throughout the school year. We had fights but we would always come crawling back together. Continue reading →

I am 16 and have been going out with this guy for a month. Lately the only time we hang out is when his friends are around and he never pays any attention to me. The only time he ever hugs me or kisses me is if this one friend of his isn’t around. I am confused on if he still likes me or not and how should I confront him about it? Continue reading →

I’m 45, have been involved with a man 53 for 4 years. We met over the internet, we are still long distance. Although we see each other frequently. At this point he has decided that we’re “really good friends” and wants to leave things the way they are. I on the other hand am looking for a permanent relationship. Continue reading →

I have been in a long distance relationship for 9 months. My boyfriend is finishing up a degree and is working full time. There is not much time for us to spend together. We e-mail back and forth every day, but his are always short and pretty uninformative. But he is an excellent communicator in person and very talkative. The long distance separation is taking it’s toll on me. Continue reading →

I have been dating a man who I love tremendously for 5 months. We have definitely had a very strong honeymoon period and are now facing each other and seeing what’s real. What do you propose is the first step toward improving at connecting with someone I’d like to create a very strong relationship with? I suppose being honest about what I need and what I want is one step. Continue reading →

I have been seeing a guy for about a month and a half. We both agree on not rushing into a relationship, but letting things grow. He just got out of a seven year relationship with his daughters mother (10 months ago). I just got out of 8 month relationship that resulted into a 4 month old baby boy, 5 months ago. He left a shirt and a jacket in my closet. I gave them back. Continue reading →

I am going on a first date with a girl. Could you tell me what exactly to do on the date? Where should I take her? What should I give her (any presents)? What should we talk about? Stuff like that. I am 15 years old. What are impressive things to say to a girl? Continue reading →

I have had romantic feelings towards this woman since the beginning of the relationship and from time to time she gave signs of feeling them back. But she does not feel the same way I do. I had no interest in other women because of my feeling for her and not knowing how she felt was ripping me apart. Continue reading →

I’ve been dating a wonderful man for the past 5 weeks. We are so in sync with each other and we are planning to share the rest of our lives together. My new boyfriend would love to see me (and my kids) staying at his home on a permanent basis. And in a perfect world, so would I. But I have two children and share joint custody with their father. Continue reading →

I go out on dates, but the last one made a lasting impression. In my opinion, he needed time to gather himself after a recent break-up. He became significant and I liked him. But I let him go, so he could find himself. Is there a possibility we can still end up as more than friends? Or I would just have to move on with my life and just forget him? Its hard because I think, I fell for him. Continue reading →
