Q: D to the G
So, here's my deal. Went to the Midwest for a wedding and TOTALLY hit it off with one of the bridesmaids. We were super drunk and things got a little, um, naked. Not really my style, but, whatever, it was way fun and felt very natural. Anyway, I felt a super strong connection to this young lady, and am interested in pursuing things.. the only problem is a pretty drastic geographical one. it’ll be LD. I texted her from the airport on the way home asking for her email (I got her phone # from another bridesmaid) and then emailed her the day after (she didn't answer my text, got the email addy from the same bridesmaid). It's two days later and I just got a polite email reply saying that she is too broke to travel but would love a hot visitor...
Should I try and make this happen or should I feel blown off?
A: I don’t think she’s blowing you off. It is weird that she didn’t answer the text, but she gave you an open invite to visit her. Bite and see if she’s really receptive or just talkin. Email back something about a visit with possible dates. Don’t be too pushy about it. Stay breezy and see if she accepts the proposal.
Don’t get too into this one. Long distance is SO hard. I’m not saying to totally put your guard up and forget about it, but just don’t fall too hard too fast. Take it a little slower and if she’s as into it as you are, it’ll all work out!
Keep me posted! Can’t wait to hear more.

Q: I went to the gym yesterday and saw a guy I used to hook it up with. Can I text him a good to see you, maybe lets meet up for drinks?
A: If you can arrange another bump in and hint at it at the gym next time, I prefer that. if you won’t and you can’t stop thinking about him, go for it but keep it simple. Text: good to see you yesterday. We should go for a drink sometime!
Hope that helps.

Q: What should I do if I went on a date with a guy and we didn’t click at all. I knew within the first 5 minutes but stuck it out for 2 hours! It was such a waste of time. How can I fix this next time and leave earlier?
A: Not much to do without being too mean. An hour seems like a good amt of time but if he’s a super slow drinker, you can’t just cut him off. Wait for a good pause and then do the wrap-up sigh. Hopefully he’ll get the hint.

Q: I just got balloons from a guy! Who gives balloons?!!
A: That’s weird. If you still like him after balloons, he must be really good at everything else! Can you joke about it so he never does it again? I’d put romantic balloons in the leather-sandals-on-guys category (never a good time for ‘em).

Q: DG, you gave me great advice on how / when to propose to my present fiancee -i asked her on a vacation in Honduras a few months ago. You said to tell her exaclty why I love here. (I came up with my top 6, and being a guy, made it into an acronym, so I would not forget it in the future), she esp loved that part, and I gave that advise to my future brother-in-law, he is now successfully engaged as well.
A: You’re awesome!!
CONGRATS on the engagement!!!!!! And congrats to your brother.

Q: Been on 4 dates with a girl. How soon is too soon to be calling every day/night?
A: You can definitely start that now. If you sense she’s not excited to hear from you then back off. Assume though, that she’s waiting for you to call!

Q: Well things are going really well. we are talking and texting each other and were probably going to hang out sometime this week. I have a wedding to go to this sat. for my College cross-country coach. should I invite her to go? It’s about a 1:30 min drive.
A: Will you be able to be with her the whole time or will you be with your friends and feel like you have to babysit her?
If it’s the latter, then I wouldn’t take her. If you’ll be hanging out with her and you think she’ll have fun, then ask her.
Good luck! Glad things are progressing!!

Q: I have a date with a friend this sat/ we are hanging out on the lake. She just broke up with her boyfriend of 1.5 years and in the past we have always seemed drawn to each other/ have kissed before but it was 2 years ago. Just wondering if you had any advice on how i should approach this situation.
A: If you like her, approach it like it’s a date! Open doors for her, pay for dinner, etc. And if the moment presents itself, go for the kiss.
Sounds fun!
Let me know how it goes.

Q: Dear DG,
So when I'm with him, I'm like, "He's so wonderful! I'm sure he's the one!" and then when I'm not with him, I'm like, "Maybe he's not the one, or maybe he is... or maybe that guy is the one, or maybe i should just look on match.com for the one... or, no, he's the one, I love him and I can't live without him, and there's no better guy for me, yeah, he's the one......I think". DG, is this normal? I'm 25 and I've been with 'him' for 1yr7mo. I think I'm just starting to freak out because EVERYONE keeps asking when we're getting married... but I don't know. I haven't met anyone else I'd rather be with, but do my doubts mean he's not the one? I really really don't want to be without him, but I'm worried that we could just stay together, get married and then my doubts resurface and, that just can't happen because I believe marriage is a one time thing... but how do you know?
Thanks DG
A: If you have doubts, they’re coming from somewhere. You have to investigate where they’re coming from and figure out if those things are worth compromising or if someone without those things will be better for you.
So if he talks with his mouth full and you can’t stand it and don’t want to take him out and you’re embarrassed of him, then you need to decide if you can live with that. if you can, great. if you can’t, then you should see how many other things like this there are.
If there are too many, it won’t work.
Another way to do it – what are your top priorities in a husband? Smart, funny, nice, respectable and respectful, etc. If he has all those things, then the little things should be little enough to not make a dent.
Hope that helps!
Let me know.

Q: Dear Dating Girl,
I worked at a summer camp with a girl and the last week we both found out we liked each other and I asked her out. We went to the zoo and had a good time. She went off to school a couple days later which is three and half hours away. She came home a week and a half later and we went to the state fair(a friend of hers from school came too). As far as I could tell we had a good time there. When I dropped her and her friend off she said she had a good time, that I should come and visit her sometime, and we'd IM/call each other later. The next week I called her, she didn't answer. The next day I texted her and said hey does this weekend two or three weeks out work. She said that day was her rommie's bday and said that she is very very busy this month and is booked pretty much every weekend. I said well maybe I'll talk to you sometime to find a time to visit. I called again 4 days later and left a message that said hey give me a call sometime. Its the next day and I haven't heard back at all. I've gotten the idea that she is avoiding me and my last call was pretty much just to see if that was correct. I really don't know what to do. I like her and would like to continue seeing her. I don't know why she would suddenly stop wanting to talk to me. I think it might have something to do with the wanting to visit her but she did say I should visit sometime. I'd kinda like to know why she doesn't want to talk to me all of the sudden but I don't know if maybe I should text her asking her since I don't think she'd answer a call or maybe should I try and get a feel through some mutual friends. Any advice you could offer would be great.
A: Sorry this is so short and sweet, but… Let her go. She’s not interested anymore. She may have been into you at camp but she’s moving into school mode. Let it go.

DG

Q: Dear Dating Girl,
A friend and I are planning to take two lovely little British girls out this weekend. We've never been on a date with either of them and they're only here for a few more days, we're both pretty poor but we'd like to make a lasting impression, preferably with something that you couldn't really do in England. It's supposed to be about a high 53 degrees and rainy this weekend, but I really don't think that video games at my friend's apartment would be a good idea. I don't know how many British people you know, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
A: You should take them out to dinner and bowling. Or just out to dinner. If you do the bowling part, make sure you make it fun. Place a bet and make it slightly competitive in a fun way!

Q: I’m soooooooo stressed and don’t wanna go on my date tonight. Can I cancel for stress reasons?
A: If you reschedule, then you can cancel. You have to let him know you’re still interested so don’t just cancel on the voicemail or email. Actually talk and explain it.
Good luck!

Q: How do you eat spaghetti on a date?
A: You can’t! It’s so slippery and splashy! If you must though, cut it up and scoop it with your fork. If you have an option, any other noodle is better than basic spaghetti. Even fettuccini is less slippery when you swirl it.
Good luck!

It's supposed to be about a high 53 degrees and rainy this weekend, but I really don't think that video games at my friend's apartment would be a good idea. I don't know how many British people you know, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
A: You should take them out to dinner and bowling. Or just out to dinner. If you do the bowling part, make sure you make it fun. Place a bet and make it slightly competitive in a fun way!

Q: Hey DG,
I'm 25 and I just started dating this really great guy about 6 weeks ago. We have so much fun together and unlike most people I meet, the more time I spend with him, the more I like him. Now, I'm not 15 anymore so I know that most people seem great for the first 6 weeks, but I really do feel (hope) that this is different. So my question is... who says "I love you" first? I have always had the life rule that I will NEVER say I love you first- the guy should DEFINITELY be the first to utter the phrase, but in a quick office poll, I'm getting mixed results. So I need to know what you think! He always says things like "I like you soooo much" and "I love spending time with you"... how long do guys usually wait before dropping the L word? Do guys want YOU to say it first? Help me out!!
A: The guy should say it! And 6 weeks is early! Give him another month at least. Sometimes it’s not until month 5 or 6! After that I’d worry – red-flag style.
If the girl has to do too much of the traditional boy stuff, it changes the dynamic of the relationship and next thing you know, you’re asking him to move in and you’re proposing. Ok, that’s a stretch, but you get the idea. I’m sure he wants you to say it first but don’t make it so easy on him!

Q: : So I was dating this guy, he's older than me by about 15 years, I'm old enough to know that age does matter, and he didn't care that I was younger, it just wasn't an issue, we made each other happy, really happy. Then he went away 2 weekends in a row, I was sick the first and could have really used some comfort, the second weekend I went to a party, where I kissed a guy I've had a thing for basically since I met him. I didn't tell the guy I was dating, then a friend of mine dropped it into conversation with him about a month later. Then another month later, out of the blue, or so it seemed to me, he broke up with me. Sighing my transgression as a reminder that I am young and should be "dating around", also he didn't "feel like" being in a relationship. We broke up in february, and our last encounter was 2 months ago. And yet I can not get over him! I'm finding that I'm numb in places I've never been numb before and people tell me that I need to meet some one new to get over him, but first there's the problem of how to follow him up, he's very attractive and being older doesn't carry the drama and immaturity of guys my own age that I c an't stand. I just don't know what to do.
A: I know it’s super hard to get over him but if you were so super in love, you wouldn’t have kissed another guy. It wouldn’t have even been a thought. You should go on other dates. Go on dating sites and find other guys to go out with just so you can move on. You’ll compare everyone to him. No one will match up. You’ll hate some of them. But then, one will click. And you’ll think about him and this guy will suddenly start to fade. I agree with your friends on this one. You’re super hurt and lonely but you need to pick yourself up and get back out there. You deserve the best and you won’t find it if you’re in a sad state. Easier said than done, I know, but take a little time and slowly come back!

Q: There is a girl in my group of friends who I kinda like and who likes me. Background... I've been hanging out with this group of friends for about a year, but the majority of them have known each other all of their life, so I’m the new guy. We all get along well and I enjoy hanging out with them. I want to take her out, but I don’t want to lose my friends if something goes wrong. We kissed goodnight at the bar the other night, and I have not seen her since. We are all going to a concert this weekend, but I may see her as soon as tonight. What are your thoughts on taking her out, or telling her I don’t want to date right now or handing it if something goes wrong?
A: If you were really into her, you would risk the friendships. So I’m sayin play it casual and just be her friend. You can’t kiss too much or you’ll give her the wrong idea and she’ll be begging for the relationship. No need to discuss it until it becomes a problem though. Just play it cool.

Q: There is this girl I like at school and I think she likes me too, but I'm not sure. How should I ask her our and what is your favorite place to go on a first date. Please do not say McDonalds or I won't respect your opinion. No offense.
With love and respect.
A: You should just straight up ask her out. No beating around the bush or anything. Just ask call her and ask if she wants to go out to dinner sometime.
I’m not sure where you’re from to suggest an actual place, but my favorite first dates are either casual dinners (not nearly as casual as McD’s though!), a drink if you’re over 21, or coffee if you not.
Don’t try and get too creative on date one – that’s too much pressure for you and for her. We like a classic for date one!

Q: I just had awkward lunch date with a girl because she was 15min late and i only get 1 hour to eat. I even switched lunch times to make it more convenient for her. This has happened twice now and she never seems sorry. What should I do?
A: Sounds kind of selfish to me. Or she could just be ultra laid back… Either way, a sorry seems so logical! If you really like her, give her one more chance. If you’re on the fence and this is the make or break, I don’t blame you.
She’d have to be a special girl to get away with it 3 times!
Hope that helps.

Q: Is it too early to cook for a girl on the 3rd date?
A: Probably a little early and awkward. Wait a few more before you bring her home for some homegrown cookin! Date 6 would be perfect.

Q: I have to go to the bf’s parents house for dinner. First time! UGH. Should I bring flowers?
A: It’s a super nice thing to do but not totally necessary. You can do a small bouquet if they won’t see it as too kiss ass-ish.
