I Blew It
Q: I started a relationship doing all the wrong things
(not playing by the rules). I was too available, called him too much,
too attentive, let him know how I felt first (that I liked him), maybe
gave too much information too soon, slept with him a little bit sooner
than I should have.
Can I turn it around now that he has cooled off on me? Does this mean
that I can now play the "chase-me game" and win him over? Should
I wait till after the weekend to call him back (which kind of makes me
a hypocrite for being rude and not returning phone calls or e-mails)?
Signed,
Is It Too Late?
A: Dear Is It Too Late?
I'm afraid that it may be too late for this particular man. The good
news is that you realize what you did wrong. The next piece of good
news is that you're writing to me and not him. The third piece of good
news (I bet you didn't think there'd be this much good news coming
to you!) is that you really do know what you've done wrong.
Failure to Launch?
Q: I met a great guy -- but he lives with is parents.
Is this okay?

Rolling With The Home Boys
A: Dear Rolling With The Home Boys:
Now that the internet has made the girl next door (or the boy next door)
one of about a million boys and girls who are only an IM away, there
are SOOOOOO many different options for people who date. There are men
and women who are single and always have been. There are men and women
who are suddenly single. There are men and women who are single parents.
There are men and women who are widows and widowers. And....there are
men and women who still live with their parents.
I Met Someone Else -- But I'm Involved
Q: I'm 20, and have been in a committed relationship
for the past six years with one man and we have kids together. I have
met someone else and this person has turned my world all around. I mean
this person spends time with me and shows a great deal of interest in
my kids. I have never experinced anything like this before. I feel that
I have a conection with this new person and I know I have never had this
feeling about my mate now. I really don't know what to do. I do know
that my love will remain the same for my mate but, I know that my desire
is not to be with him anymore more. How do I break up a six year relationship
without it being so bad that we really can't be friends? Please help
me I have had this happen to friends but, I never would have thought
in a million years that this would be my life. HELP!!!!!
Signed,
Should I Stay Or Should I Go?
A: Dear Should I Stay Or Should I Go:
The answer to the question you asked, "How do I break up a six year
relationship without it being so bad we really can't be friends?," is:
you can't.
Too Nervous To Date?
Q: All my life I have always been far too nervous to
ask anyone out. Now that I am deeply in love with someone, I am still
far too nervous to ask her out. Could you possibly help me?
Sincerely,
Nervous Nelson
A: Dear Nervous Nelson:
I can definitely help you because you’re already willing to help
yourself by writing to me and identifying your problem. You want to ask
a woman on a date, but you stop yourself from doing it because you’re
too nervous. Well, you’re not alone! In fact most men suffer from
a case of nerves before asking a woman out – they just don’t
always show it.

Online Dating
On-line dating is a must for any serious dater. Not only have times changed but the way that people hook up has changed. It used to be that on-line dating was what people resorted to out of desperation but today that couldn't be further from the truth. Everyone's busy and isolated to some extent so technology strategically made its way into the singles scene and provided us singles with ways to get connected and meet each other easily and quickly.
