A: If she just wants to be friends then don’t go. If you think there’s a change since you last talked then you could go and see what happens, but go with low expectations!
I wouldn’t have another talk with her unless you really think she’s changed her mind since the fight.
Let me know what happens!

A: Either go seafood or go for a drink. You can stay healthy and not look too crazy if you get a salad (dressing on side) and fish (nothing fried or saucy)!
Guys hate when a girl’s got a little love handle and they hate when we order like a freak. Something’s gotta give!!

A: It’s nice when the guy pursues but if he’s not, then you can call as long as it’s not too close to the date you just had. If you went out last night, you should wait it out a little – give him at least 2 days to contact you.

A: Depends on how long you've been seeing each other. If it's been just a few dates, then give it a week and call it a day. If it's been a while, you can call him and see if he's checking out or just busy (which usually means checking out anyway).

Been out of touch for a while. I have an odd one for you. I recently moved to a new city where my ex lives. We've had dinner a couple times (as friends). After the last time we had dinner she sent me a text asking if I resented her. Obviously I don't or why would I talk to her & eat meals with her? I asked where this came from & she said it was my eye contact. I am a big person on eye contact. There was a mutual friend with us so the ex wasn't my main focus. Any insight or past experiences that may shed some light on the subject? I thought my eye contact was good but who knows. Is there something going on here I don't know about?
A: I would let it go. If you both seem fine with each other (it sounds like you are), then just continue as friends and call it a day. If one of you wants more than friendship, then you’ll have to put more space between you. Friendship thing only works when you’re both really ok with it. If she’s concerned about eye contact, she may be reading into stuff and over thinking which means she cares or she feels guilty about the break up.
Let me know what you think!

A: Sounds like she’s not that into it. If you want, keep pursuing it but it’ll be you making the moves (which is fine if she accepts the invites).
If she keeps saying she’s busy or screening the calls, you have to call it quits.
Does that help?

There is this very attractive guy I met a while ago, and who recently asked for my number... But although he likes me he's got a problem. He's 35 and I'm 20, about to turn 21, and he thinks our levels of life experience are too different, because of age. I am not bothered by the age difference and think I could learn a lot from him and he is certainly interested in me. I'm wondering, do you think that the different levels of life experience of all kinds between a 35-year-old (who acts and looks like he's 25-29) and a mature 20-year-old (who is completely sick of guys near her age because they are too immature for her but is fairly inexperienced) would be a problem? I'm fishing for opinions here...
Thanks!
A: It sounds like a big spread to me. It’ll probably work short term but be bad long term. It’s true that you don’t have a ton in common from 35 to 20. Having said all that, give it a shot and see, but if he’s seeing the problem already, it’s trouble.

A: Either one is fine. If it’s a blind date, drinks is probably safer since you can be in and out in an hour if need be but if you know each other, dinner is great.

A: Never ask. Just do it! The ask ruins the moment.
Do you have other single friends to hang with on Valentine’s? Go to the bar. If you don’t have single friends, then you should stay home, carry in and rent a movie. Perfect date night with yourself! Or go to the gym, workout and get a massage.
No need to open up about the sterile thing on date 2. That’s too personal and says "I love you" on date 2 which isn’t cool.

Quick question. Due to avoidance of relationships, I'm into something new (like two, maybe three weeks old) with absolutely no recognition of what's going on between me and this guy and valentine's day is coming up. Do I get him a valentine's day gift? Or do I pray he doesn't get me something, thereby making it awkward when I'm all "Hey, thanks...I sure didn't get you anything"?
A: Get him something small (t-shirt, boxers, etc) and make sure it’s returnable. Hide it somewhere. If he gets you a present, you pull it out. If not, you return it on 2-15.
Hope he gets you something!!

I think the truly weird thing is is that when we talk in class and in text messages she says things that in my opinion would only ever take place if we were dating. For example, I was talking about my dad's classic car with another classmate and she chimed in "Oh wow, my dad used to take me to car shows all the time. I'd love to see it someday". Or I told her my sister was having a baby boy because we found that out today and she said how when it comes she'd love to see it.
I'm wondering when she thinks these meetings would ever take place. I'd have to take her to my p arents house an hour away from here, introduce her to them, and then show her the car. Or I'd have to take her an hour in the other direction to my sisters house to see the baby. She hasn't ever met any member of my family because we only "dated" or whatever its called for a little less than 4 months. What do you make of those statements? It's mind boggling!
A: Let those comments just roll off. Assume they mean, "I like you and wanna do more stuff with you." Not that they mean, "I want to be a part of your fam!"
You should continue to ask her out and call her, etc. Sounds like she’s into it!

A: You might as well ask her out and see what happens since the only bad that would happen is you can’t go to that restaurant anymore. Small price to pay.
So go in for lunch or dinner and hope she’s your waitress again. If she is, you have to be bold and at some point towards the end, ask her if she wants to go out sometime. If she says yes, make sure you ask for her number so you can plan it.
If she says no, you’re done eating and then done with that restaurant for a while.
If she isn’t your waitress, you’ll have to get up to go to the bathroom and bump into her. It’ll take a lot of planning to bump in at the perfect time. And you’ll have to be quick with the ask since she’ll be busy so don’t hem and haw.
Please let me know how it goes!

Q: Hello Dating G.
Question 1: What do i get/do for the new boy for Valentines?
Question 2: Can you reccommend some kind of perfume/scented something that is good for any occasion? Never really been into that so i have no idea where to start. Give me your best opinion and then maybe a cheap option (since i have the strange habit of acidentally spending all my money at moosejaw even though i dont actually need that eight millionth pair of snowboarding pants)
Please include the obvious in your answer. If there is something that 99% of the female race knows, i'm prolly in the 1% that's still clueless. lol.
'preciate it!
A: You can get him Patagonia Boxers. Super cute, not expensive and thoughtful.
Try these perfumes:

A: It’s not hopeless. You should start this one out more as friends and let it develop so you don’t seem like the hopper. You can then say, “Too bad you’re friends with __. You would have made a good boyfriend.” If he opens the door for more convo then you’re in! Even a knowing, “Yeah, I know…” from him is an open door for you to say, “That would be wrong of us, right?” And give those flirty eyes.
Hopefully it works out.

I met this guy recently and we are going to hang out for the first time in a more-than-friends way. I also have a son. This new guy doesn't know about my son. I don't want to bring it up, so as not to scare him off. But if things get more serious, he will have to know about(and meet) my son. I don't want to feel as though I'm deceiving my new interest, but my experience is that folks my age(early 20s) aren't really into the settling down and being a step-dad thing? Any advice?
-Hip Lonely Momma
Q: You should tell him on the next date or it’ll seem like you’re hiding it and he’ll use it against you. I agree, most guys in their early 20s are not ready to be dads so you have an obstacle. Maybe you should look a little older like late 20s…
