Q: If I’ve never had champagne before, is it ok to drink it on NY with a new date?
A: Just drink it slowly. Nothing worse than a lush on NY! But if there’s any time to be a lush, it’s probably NY.

Q: What are some signs that a girl is into you? I've been talking to this girl for a while. We talk maybe once or twice a week and the last couple time we talked for over a half hour. I had a bad experiance before with a girl that i thought liked me and alot of other people thought the same thing but i turned out that she liked one of my best friends and now there getting married. I don't want to read to much into things but i don't want to miss any hints if she is dropping any. Thanks.
A: A girl probably likes you if: She talks to you a lot, looks at you, smiles at you, flips her hair, laughs at your stories, jokes (even when they aren’t funny), suggests some hang outs, gets shy around you, etc. Ask her out soon or you’ll end up in friend mode!
Hope that helps!

Q: A girl from my hometown recently separated from her boyfriend (of a very long time) last week. While we didn't really talk much in high school, we still knew each other, and over the past year or so we've begun to talk a lot more and realized we have a lot in common. I know she used to like me (back in high school) and asks why I never asked her out back then (because she had a boyfriend). We got really close this past summer, and I feel we could have made something of it had she been single (but I could have been misreading things, as I often do). Then we had to go back to school, and gradually lost touch as we became busier and busier, and I hadn't talked to her in about 4 weeks until a few days ago (because of a semester from hell).
Anyway, I really, really like this girl, and want to ask her out, but the timing just seems terrible. I head back for my final semester in a couple weeks, and while I wouldn't mind driving a few hours on the weekend to take her out, it's ju st not the best way to get anything started. Is there a way to let her know I'm interested so she at least keeps me in mind before she runs off with some other guy? I really just don't want to waste the opportunity of her single-ness again, and would like to see something happen before I head back to school.
And all this is assuming she'd be interested in making the transition to being more than friends.
A: Ask her to hang out and just don’t make it so date-like so it seems more like you’re hanging out after a breakup instead of hitting on her after a breakup. If you’re both into each other then it’ll end up being a date anyway and you don’t seem like the bad guy.
Hope that helps!

Q: Hey just wondering...if I'm seriously dating someone, is it ok for me to go and hang out one on one with guys who are just friends? I just always have more fun with guys than other girls....is that bad? I just wasn't sure if it would be weird or not to go and hang with a guy if I already have a boyfriend....
Oh and happy holidays!
A: As long as your bf is ok with it then it’s ok. Don’t give him anything to be insecure about or question – that will only lead to trouble. Make sure he (and everyone else) can tell that you’re just friends with these other guys. No flirting, no touching, no excessive laughing at their jokes! If you can do all that, then you’re fine.

Q: I didn’t get my “friend” a present and I feel terrible. She got me one. What do I do?
A: You should have said, “yours should get here later today.” Then, later you say, “it didn’t get here yet. I’ll give it to you as soon as it does!”
Then you order something asap!
Since you didn’t do that, you should either get her a little something for New Years or you should just say you screwed up and her bday present will be amazing!

Q: I've liked a girl from one of my classes since I met her back in October. I invited her to a World Series game and she turned me down saying she was getting over her ex. After that we hung out 3 times in a group setting, and then once by ourselves and nothing really happened. Then the 2nd time we hung out alone after a little bit of drinking she ended up kissing me. Thinking it was all due to alcohol I just let it go, but the next day she kissed me goodbye sober. She talked to me about it and said she likes me but wants to take it slow and wanted to be single for a while. I'm wondering what exactly does that mean and when the appropriate time is for me to make a move. We've hung out like four times since and it's physical from the standpoint that it's flirty like hand holding and hugging and cuddling. Needless to say I'm confused. I realize this is a long entry so I apologize but would really appreciate some input. Thanks!
A: Yeah, we can all be a little confused and confusing sometimes. This is one of those times!
Sounds like she is attracted to you and wants to hang out, kiss, etc but isn’t ready to be exclusive or tied down. If you’re ok with that, then you can make a move (a small move, nothing crazy) next time you see her. If you’re not ok with that then you may be with the wrong girl!

Q: Quick background: My ex-gf recently broke up with me. It was a pretty friendly break up, so we're still friends. During the relationship, I treated her a lot better than she did to me (fyi). We go to school in different states now, but we've seen each other three times since. It was fine, but kinda obvious that I would do anything to get back together with her. She has no interest of getting back together. I don't even try to make things work. I just play the friend card, but it's still noticeable difficult for me sometimes.
The situation: Due to the proximity of where I go to school and where her family lives, she invited me over to her house for New Year's (a 3 hour drive). We are sharing a hotel together downtown and going out to some bars that night. Just the two of us. I'll be at her house for two days prior to us going to the hotel on Dec 31. How should I act while I'm there? I'm sure this sounds like an obvious question, but I wanted your pers pective on this.
Thanks
A: That’s a little weird! Sounds like it wasn’t really a clean break... You should just be her friend. Don’t try anything romantic unless she goes there first. If she starts it, still know that she’ll probably go back to friend-mode after NY.
After this trip, try to move on if you know she is.

Q: This guy wants me to go hiking with him on our first date! What if I can't do this impossible hike he's bragging about?
A: You have to be honest if it's too hard once you get out there. If you're dying and think you're gonna pass out, you need to tell him before you're down and he's wondering which hospital to hike you to! I'm sure it won't be quite as hard as he's making it out to be and if you're in shape, you have nothing to worry about!

Q: I've been dating my boyfriend for almost three years. I think we're going to get married. The problem is that my best friend really doesn't like him. When I try to talk to her about it she says, "I like him! He's a great guy!" but when he's around she is moody and withdrawn. When we invite her to go places with us she always makes up a reason not to come along. I don't want to alienate her or lose her friendship, but I'm afraid that might be inevitable if we get married. Any thoughts? By the way, you're awesome.
A: You can’t force it. She may not like him and that’s ok. Of course you want her to love him but if she doesn’t want to hang, you can’t make her. Just offer every so often and make sure you spend time with her when you’re not with him so she doesn’t feel like 2nd choice. You can’t be with her as much as you were 3 years ago, but don’t make her feel like you only have plans with her when he’s out of town.
Love the madness
You’re awesome too!
And congrats on the imminent engagement!

Q: Dating Girl,
A friend hit on me recently during a wake, not sure what to make of it, this is creepy but honestly I haven't slept in a week and I have been thinking of calling her, it might help me to sleep having someone next to me.
Am I an awful person for even thinking about this?
A: No! Give her a call/ email. You gotta take ‘em where you can and if it’s at a wake, then I’m ok with that. It’s not like you were kissing in the back room there!
Please let me know how it goes!

Q: I just got out of a 1-year relationship where the guy and I were living together and everything. We broke up in the beginning of November. It didn’t end well: he got really weird and mean towards the end, so I had to break it off.
I have this friend who I have known this friend for a couple years and I’ve always liked him…he’s very cute, nerdy, and has a quirky personality which I adore! I don’t know if he knows how I feel or not. My friend is graduating from our college in May and I’ll be graduating in another year.
So, I have a few questions for you. I would like to have a light/breezy/casual fling-thing with my friend. I just want to continue our normal friend hang-out time and add making out and other fun stuff to the mix. I was too shy/immature to bring up a relationship with him when we first met (and he didn’t ask me out either) and now I don’t want a super-intense relationship. Just from being friends with him, I know that he’s not really up for serious relationships...nor does it make sense since he’s graduating. If it’s okay to say something to him about how I feel, I know I should wait a little while longer before I say anything…how long should I wait and how should I bring it up? I also want to communicate that I’d like something breezy and fun before he graduates without sounding blunt, awkward, or lecherous. It’s a weird situation, but what's a girl to do? I feel like I’d be missing out if I didn’t at least consider it or get some advice about it!
A: You’re trying to be breezy but in a very non-breezy way! You don’t really have a discussion about breezy, you just do it. You just go out and end up kissing! And then you do it again a week later. Once you start talking and dissecting, it becomes something more than breeze!
The only problem is if one of you wants more than the other. If you both want breezy, it’s perfect but if one of you starts to fall for the other, you’ll probably lose the friendship. But he’s graduating anyway so not a huge loss!!
I say go for it. If you want to play it safe, throw the idea out there as a joke and see how he takes it. “We should just be friends who kiss!” If you can tell he’s not into it then you laugh it off and move on.
Let me know how it goes.

Q: Hey DG,
Soo more than once I have taken first or second dates on strenuous hikes; it's the fastest way for me to assess a girls claim to being "outdoorsy" while also showing off my high points. 90% of the time the girls end up failing my little test: complaints, lack of coordination, physical shape, etc.
One time a girl fell in a creek, breaking her cell phone, and began crying (she wasn't physically hurt). Unfortunately, the site all this going down with her in the middle of one of the most beautiful creeks/areas around caused me to laugh hysterically at the surreal-ness of the whole situation. I haven't talked to her since...
I dont force these dates either; they usually jump at the notion of a long hike, or even suggest it themselves.
Question: when girls say they want to go on a hike, with the essence of a date, do they want to hike? or do they just want me to take them on a 20 minute hike to a good make-out/ talking spot? Should I skip the hiking until fur thur in the relationship? Or, should I drink more and just date burly-boot girls?
A: Something between the 20 minute walk and the strenuous hike will probably work. Do about an hour of a good hike but don’t kill the girls! If the girls pass the hour hike with passing colors, then you could take them on the strenuous hike but break ‘em in easy!!
Hope that helps.
Keep me posted.

Q: I want to name my kid Johnathon – a good classic name. My wife wants to name him Apple – like Gweneth or whatever. Do I fight for it?
A: Yes! If you’re not famous, you should stick to the basics. You could meet in the middle somewhere though – Something like Damian, Oliver, Quintin, Jacks… Do you like any of those?

Q: I've been dating my girlfriend for a little over 4 years. I moved in with her (well, into her parents house...) about 2 years ago. About 5 or 6 months ago, we decided to break things off, but on decent terms. Only thing is, I still live in the same house with her. I've gotten very close to her family, and I am also settled in a job in the area. Is it OK to continue living there, or should I move out and get an apartment? Is it, or will it ever be OK for me to date while I'm living here? Thanks!
A: Get outta there!!! It can’t be healthy to still live there! Not only can you not date while you’re there, but you can’t do anything while you’re there. Leave the premises as soon as possible.

Q: Hey DG,
The past few months (6 to be exact) I was going out with a guy who was my best friend. We had been hooking up on and off for a year before that. Every time we hooked up we'd both say it was the last time, but then it would happen again because well, we just didn't stop. After a while we decided to make it official and it went really well. Then I went to school so we broke up for two weeks. We talked and texted the whole time we were broken up, and virtually nothing changed except I was gone and we weren't hooking up. We got back together the first weekend I came home. About two weeks ago we broke up again, but we're still talking and texting everyday, like we did last time we broke up. Should I have faith that we might get back together again, or should I give up and move on?
Thanks!
A: Are you into the on again off again way of things? If yes, then enjoy and no need to analyze too much.
If you’re not into it then move on and try you’re hardest not to give into temptation.
I know it’s so much easier said than done but if it’s stressing you out, then find a new guy to think about. You need a new crush to replace him, even if it’s just for the meantime.
Let me know what you think

Q: I’m a little overweight and don’t want to date. Do all girls hate chubby guys?

Q: Could you explain a good way of staying away from the friend zone with a new female interest?
A: Stay flirty. Don’t talk about other girls to her. Don’t talk about friend jokey things like bathroom problems. Ask her out on a date soon so you don’t fall in the friend trap.

Q: Hi Dating Girl. This has nothing to do with dating, but i hope you answer it anyway. My college ski club is going ou west for spring break. I want to go and I was planning on going, but the two people I was supposed to be going with decided they don't want to go anymore. The money is due tomorrow...Do I go alone or not? I really want to go and it's been a dream of my to go skiing out west. But being an attractive(not to boost mysef up buut...), 20 year old girl I'm a little apprehensive of going out by myself. I'm sure I'll make friends, but just thinking about possibly skiing alone, going out alone, and traveling without having a buddy there scares me. What should I do?
A: Do it! Be adventurous and you’ll make a whole new group of friends – ok maybe not a whole new group, but at least 1!
Do it!
Let me know what you decide. I won’t like you less if you don’t go!!

A: You can definitely facebook her but don’t sound too anxious. Just ask her to go out. Don’t ask her for a specific day that’s sooner than 6 days from now! Be a little breezy!

Q: I’m 5’8” and my date is 5’6.” I can’t wear heels, right?
A: If it’s early on in the relationship, I’d stick with flats. If you’ve been dating for a little, you could wear a heel, but nothing too high or you’ll be towering over him. He probably already knows but your height is a status symbol.

Q: Guy is 4 years older (im 18) and one semester left before leaving college. Started talking to him a lot on aim. want to get to know him better, what to do? talking in person is ok... could be better. what to do?!
A: So aim is all good but when you get in person, it’s awkward? If that’s the case, you could give it a little time and see if it’s just the usual beginning awkward stuff.
If it keeps up, it’s probably not the right fit.
Let me know how it goes.

Q: Hey DG- I'm in a debate with a friend and would like an expert opinion. If you go on a date with a sketchy guy, [Not for website: I mean like an alcaholic, assholic, drug dealing frat boy with an apartment off campus even though we go to an all-residential college] is your integrity in any way compromised? I'm inclined to say no, you are who you are regardless of your company. My guy friend thinks when you go out with a sketchball, you have to ignore his negative characteristics in order to isolate the qualities of the person that you do approve of, and making this distinction compromises your integrity. What's your thought?
A: I don’t think you have to look past his druggie stuff – maybe you’re attracted to the bad boy. If you have to ignore a part of him, I think that’s worse than liking all of him and accepting that.
No one is perfect and that’s fine. If you’re pretending he’s something he’s not, thing’s can’t go on forever.
Make sense?
Let me know what you think!

Q: I'm having a hard time getting a gauge on this girl. We have been hanging out quite a bit for the past few weeks and texting back and forth a little. I guess my question is what are the basic signs if a girl is interested? Sometimes it seems like she is and then sometimes I can't tell.
A: She’ll be flirty and shy and laugh at your jokes if she’s interested. She’ll keep the texts going; she’ll hope you ask her out; she’ll call you back.
You should worry when she starts avoiding your calls and texts.
Hope that helps!

Q: Dear DG,
My girl left me for a friend of mine. Then they broke up. People say this happens all the time... can you take a poll and find out if I should still be friends with him?
A: Sounds like he wasn’t that good of a friend. Did you ever tell him you were pissed? Did they cheat while you were with her? Were you kind of on the outs before you broke up?
So many questions!
The poll of 5 said:
4 don’t take him back
1 take him back.
Let me know what you think!

Q: Hi D.G.,
You've given me such great advice in the past, I thought why not give it another shot.
I have been with the same man in a committed relationship for nine months now. When I bring up living together or anything about the future, he says he's not ready. When I mention that I dont need those things now, that I would just like to know that's where we might be headed down the road, he just always says " I don't know ". He's 34 and I'm 29. I feel at this point in life he should have some idea as to what he wants. Do I move on, or do I wait it out? Any advice would be greatly appreciated for my confused brain. Thanks!
A: Sounds like he’s having fun but not ready to really settle down yet. You should ask him straight up. Just ask if/ when he sees himself getting married – not necessarily to you, but when? If he says he doesn’t know or no time soon, or he’s not thinking about it now, then you should ask yourself if you’re fun too or if you need that long term commitment soon. If you’re fine taking it 1 day at a time and seeing how things develop, then stick with it and enjoy.
Hope that helps!

Q: Can I bring flowers to a girl on a first date?
A: You can, but I'd wait until the 3rd-ish. It may be a little overbearing on date 1.

Q: Do I have to give my bf the aisle on a plane? I hate the middle.
A: If he's tall enough that the middle will be terrible for him, then yes, you have to. If he's a little guy (don't tell him that), then you can have the aisle.

Q: Is it lame to send a girl a postcard?
A: Unless you're on another continent, don't do it.
Or maybe Alaska.
Lay low and just be her friend right now. Give her a couple weeks at least to digest!

Q: O.K. I'll try to give the short version. I am interested in this girl, we work together. She recently, a week and a half ago, broke up/moved out with her bf of about two years. He asked her if she wanted to leave using some excuse about age, that is a whole different issue. She called me at 12:30am the night they broke up to talk. She asked me to helf her move, I did. We have worked together for almost three years, and I never asked her out, then she found this guy and I could not asker her out. I have liked this girl for a while and we have done things outside of work together with and without her bf. I did take her to lunch the day we moved her out, and we alway seem to have a good time. I asked her to go to a movie on Saturday and she said sure but did not return my call until too late Saturday night. I asked what she was doing Sunday, "nothing" she said. I called her at 1pm she called me back at 7pm. Am I wasting my time? Should I keep asking? Should I just come out and say "I li ke you" "I think we should date"? Just looking for some insight into a womans head. I tried to keep it short but it did not turn out that way. Thanks...
A: She’s probably not ready to date yet. She’s in recovery stage and may just want a friend. If she wanted to hang out Sat night, she would have definitely called you earlier! Same with Sunday. She’s either not ready or just doesn’t like you like that.
Lay low and just be her friend right now. Give her a couple weeks at least to digest!

Q: Hey, how is it going? Well I guess my problem is I can't meet girls. I go to the nerdiest school in the midwest where the guy to girl ratio is no better than 5:1. Any advice for getting a girl in a situation like this, there have been a couple I like but they just have too many options to choose from and I guess I am not all that high up on the list. Plus you have the way to nerdie girls that are afraid of guys still and then a lot of chicks that know they can get away with juggling more than one guy here at once. How can I stand out against the crowd to get the girl I like?
A: You have to be yourself but confidence and wit are key to standing out. A confident (not arrogant) funny guy is very impressive and will turn her on!
Talk to her; don’t shy away. Be sweet and cool all at the same time!

Q: How come I never see any of these super hot chicks you have in all your pictures out on trails or on top of mountains? I've been looking all over the place and have yet to come across one. Well, there was that one time in Telluride but then her boyfriend came walking up with a popped collar, but that's a completely different story.
Am I looking in the wrong places or is it something more?
A: These girls are few and far between. Cool and hot? Come on – they don’t come by every day!! Keep looking but know that sometimes the coolest hottest girls don’t look all dolled up on the trail. You have to love their natural beauty out there!

Q: Although I'm 60 years old, I find myself attracted only to younger women....much younger women. Is there a better term for it than "dirty old man"?
A: I think that one pretty much sums it up!! JK. I’m sure you’re a fine upstanding gentlemen and any young girl would be lucky to catch your eye!

Q: I went on a date and tripped on the stairs. Is it over??
A: If he liked you then it’s not over and if he didn’t like you, then it’s over. I don’t think the tripping will make or break! It is quite embarrassing though!!!
