A.   12 January 2014: I think it is normal that you felt that way. However I wouldn't get back together with him. He's an EX for a reason. Try to find peace in the fact you can be on polite terms to each other and move on. You'll be much happier if you do. Good Lu... (read in full...)

A.   18 November 2013: The reason why you feel like you are annoying him when you text him is because you really ARE annoying him. FWB means using each other for sex without a relationship. It's very clear that he only wants you for sex. From his actions he doesn... (read in full...)

A.   29 August 2013: I honestly don't see this working out for you. The more you stay the more resentment is going to build up. What kind of a future is that? I would just leave. You've been with him for 6 years and yet he hasn't even proposed. I think he is just usi... (read in full...)

A.   27 August 2013: It's definitely not normal the amount of attention he is giving her. I would talk to him about it and tell him to tone it down as it makes you feel uncomfortable. If he refuses then you might just be better off ending things with him. Go... (read in full...)

A.   22 August 2013: I personally don't think it's a good idea. How does your school feel about co-workers dating? Would you have to hide it from your boss and other co-workers? Usually when you date a co-worker it turns out messy in the end. However there... (read in full...)

A.   22 August 2013: He is either not interested or is caught up in life at the moment. Perhaps he is struggling with something and he doesn't have the time to respond to you. It's happened to me before. Keep the communication simple until he shows you a sign he is mo... (read in full...)

A.   22 August 2013: I suggest you block him and if you haven't already delete him. I would trust your friends that they haven't seen him. The only reason I can see for him to be doing this is to hurt you. Of course you care because you are still healing from the brea... (read in full...)

A.   22 August 2013: Honestly I can't give you any suggestions to keep him interested nor do I even want to. The best way to handle this situation is to accept the facts and move on. I know you don't want to despite the consequences but nothing you do or say will k... (read in full...)

What's the difference between pushing for a date and glorified stalking?

Q.   I'm not the best with women. I'm OK but not great. One thing I just can't seem to do is be persistent in pursuing a girl I really like because I don't want to be seen as a glorified stalker. If I ask a girl out and she says no, I leave it at that ...
