  • Potential Girlfriend Has A Reputation

    Q: There’s this girl I like a lot and I’m thinking of making a move pretty soon. We have the same circle of friends so I’ve known her for a while and so do most of my boys. The problem is that all of them think she’s a slut and have basically told me I’m an idiot if I date her.  While she has an extensive list of sexual partners, she’s a sweetheart and I really want to get to know her on a more personal level.…

  • Boyfriend On Dating Show

    Q: I’m dating an up-and-coming music artist and so far, so good. A little while ago he was approached to do a reality dating show where different women will be vying for a date with him.  When he first told me, I laughed it off and said go for it. After all, the exposure would be great for his career and I’m definitely not the jealous type. It’s just TV and nobody believes in that stuff anyway. My friends think I’m crazy for being okay with this…

  • Exes at the Wedding

    Q: I'm starting to get the guest list together for my upcoming wedding. I asked my fiance to give me his list so I could start ordering invites. He had his ex wife on the list. I don't have a problem with her but I just don't want her at my wedding. I mentioned this to him and he said that she wants to be there to see and support their daughter walk down the aisle as the flower girl. He doesn't see it as a…

  • My Girlfriend is Celibate

    Q: Recently my girlfriend started experimenting with different religious views. She grew up in a non-practicing Jewish home and has never really embraced any organized belief system. But now she's researching a bunch of different things to get in tune with her "higher self", like mediation and chanting. I've been supportive of everything she's interested in even if it's not my thing. Part of her expanding spirituality is a decision to be celibate. She thinks it will help her focus if she removes that type of physical…

  • My Engagement Ring Sucks

    Q: My boyfriend proposed to me last week and I’m very excited about our future. We’ve been through a lot in the past four years (break up, job loss, miscarriage) and it feels good to finally make a statement to the world that we’re still strong. The problem is I hate the ring. I don’t just dislike it, I literally can’t stand the sight of it. I’m not superficial at all and it’s not about the size of the diamond or how expensive it is. It’s the…

  • Best Friend Dating A Jerk

    Q: My best friend is dating a jerk and she doesn’t seem to see it. Every time I’ve hung out with them he has some snarky, sarcastic comment to say to her. He tries to disguise it as a joke but it’s clear to everyone (except my friend) that he’s simply being an ass.  Normally, I’d have no problem telling her how I feel. But I haven’t because before she started dating him, I had hooked up with him once and I don’t want her to think…
