Q: Is there anything wrong with going out with a guy who's 50 and never been married?

A: Definitely give it a shot and see if you like him. I wouldn't let the 50 and single thing be the sole decider!

Q: How many guys is too many to sleep with? I think I’m getting up there…

A: At the same time or overall?! 1 guy at a time sounds good.
If you talking in general, it all depends on how old you are. If you’re young, hold out a little. If you’re older, I won’t judge you!

Q: This guy’s pretty nice but I’m just not into him sexually. Do I keep trying to like him or is it doomed?

A: If you’ve gone on 3 dates or more and there’s no chemistry, then call it a day. No sense in trying to force it. If you think the chemistry could grow, then go a few more times just to give it a chance.

Q: I wiped out on a date. Fell flat on my face and the girl had to help me up and everything. Totally sucked. Can I ask her out again or did I blow it.

A: You can for sure ask her out again! If she says no, the fall was definitely not the only reason.

Q: Is it bad to do a lot of special ordering on a date? I am a picky eater and most girls think I’m less manly if I get dressing on the side.

A: I would LOVE if the guy ordered everything on the side and minus this, plus that. It would make me feel way better about doing it myself!! I try to order a little less high maintenance than usual on dates, but I can’t help a few “on the sides” so neither should you! If they don’t like a few, then they aren’t for us.

Q: I like this guy and want him to call me so bad but he’s not. I’m even trying to use karma and will it to happen but it won’t. Can I call him?

A: Not sure what the background is but if you’ve never talked, he’s probably not just gonna up and call you. You need to send him a signal (and not just zen or osmosis). You should chat, flirt, catch his eye, etc. Let him know you’re interested. Then if he still doesn’t call, you can call him! Just once though.
Let me know how it goes, or any more details you have!

Q: I have the worst car and wanna know if it’s too cheap to pick a girl up on foot?

A: For sure walk if it’s good weather and not too far. You don’t want her to have to worry about rain, her hair, or her feet in heels. I know it sounds high maintenance but she’s just trying to look good for you!

Q: I'm being sold at a date auction next weekend. What does one wear to sell herself (for a good cause!) to a complete stranger who has LOADS of money? Gold sequins? Black chiffon? Silk charmeuse of any color? Thanks!

A: I’d go simple and sexy. Black and kinda low cut but still classy. Show your booty off too so wear something that hugs a little. But still classy! And heels.

Let me know how it goes!!

Q: Why is it that as soon as I don't want anything to do with a guy, he comes back 10 times stronger than before? I don't get it. Do I have to straight up tell them to go away? That seems a little harsh to me.

A: They love the chase. It sucks but they like a girl who isn’t falling all over them. I know this all too well!

Q: I've been dating a girl for a little more than 8 months, and I'm not feeling the magic. She's the standard 'perfect girl,' very attached, pretty laid back, and usually pretty fun.

Okay, besides the loss of interest, she whines excessively, especially when it comes to making decisions. I have never been able to handle indecisive people because I don't speak that language.

The twist: I just graduated and will be going to UT and will be rooming with her twin brother. She will also be going and rooming in the same dorm building, so I will see her very often.

The question: How would I be able to end this without a mess with her brother? He's very logical and as long as I don't do something stupid, I'll be alright. Also, is there any way we would be able to still be on talking terms?

A: Best thing to do is be honest and respectful. To string her along would be easier now but bad for the long run with the brother and with her. Be nice. Tell her that the chemistry has just faded and you want to be fair to her and let her know now that it’s not working for you. You want the best for her and knew you needed to talk.

If you’re honest and respectful, she may be mad now but she can’t blame you down the road.

Q: I don’t feel good and have a date tonight. do I have to go? I’ll be terrible if I do.

A: If it’s a first date and it’s your first cancelation, then yes, you can cancel but instead, do a resched so he knows you’re still interested.

Q: So, whilst talking to the lady who I am trying to woo, I get the old "You're like, a perfect friend!" Nice. I'm SOL, huh?



A: Yup. Sounds like she was givin you the ole 1,2. That means you’re a friend. You can give it one more college try but then you’re out like Brittney Spears.

Q: dating girl- about 2 months ago my boyfriend of a year and a half broke up- for no other reason than we weren't getting along. we were bickering, and just not seeing eye to eye. we both love each other and that is defiantly not an issue. we both left to study abroad and talked frequently- we decided to get back together- i saw him one night, then he had to go home for the summer. my problem is, it just doesn't feel right. i love him so much, but i feel like i am being the desperate girl. i told him that i was buying a ticket to see him, and he said it would work better another time when he wasn't so busy with work, and maybe i am over analyzing it, but it seemed like i was putting him out. i just don't think thats right. even though he just got home- he calls me ALMOST once a day, but i dont always get to talk to him, and if i do, its no longer than 10 min. i dont know if i am just being a psycho girl or if i should say something to him- and if i say something what do i say? i dont w ant to be annoying, but i dont just want to sit back and get hurt. tell me what to do!!!

A: Yes, we can be annoying and analytical and sensitive, but we know when something is wrong. We know when we’re putting out twice the effort he is and we know when we’re chasing. It sucks but you need to talk to him about it. If it’s nothing, then great, you’re the annoying girl. But if he’s not into things anymore then you need to know.

He should be excited for you to plan a trip to see him whether he’s busy or not! I’m on your side on this one.

Let me know what happens. Trust your instincts and hope he proves you wrong and everything is perfect again!

Q: Is there a way to ask out a girl who is a hostess at the restaurant i work at without it actually seeming like i am asking her out just in case she has a bf or something so it isn't awkward if it doesn't work out? thanks

A: Can you make a joke like, “Whoever your boyfriend is, he’s a lucky guy!” That way she says, “He is” and you’re done or she laughs and says, “I wish” then you can move in!

Let me know if you try it.

Q: Is it possible for a couple to get back together after taking a "break?"

My girlfriend of 4 years decided that she needs a break. I took a job about 10 months ago in Hawaii, she lives in CA. We decided to try the LDR until she could move to HI. In the mean time we were able to see each other every month. When she tried to quit her job to move out to HI, her employer offered her a great promotion and raise, so after much more discussion we decided that she should stay on the mainland and I would come back to the mainland when my project was done. I'm 2 months away from finishing my project and she tells me she can't handle the distance anymore and has feelings she can't quell for one of her co-workers. So, we've decided to take a break. Does it ever really work for couples to take breaks in their relationship? I want nothing more than for things to work out for us, but it feels like she's basically told me that she thinks she's found something / someone better and wants to see if it really is, and if it's not any better then she might come back to me.

In times like this, about the only thing you can do is Love the Madness.

A: You’re exactly right. She has a crush on a co-worker and she wants to go out with him. He may be great and you’re a distant memory or he may not be great and then you’re in the picture again. Problem is, can you deal with this? She’s basically saying you’re good but not the best and there may be better out there. Is that ok for you? You probably want your gf to think you’re the best and she’s so lucky to have you. Is that unrealistic?

Give her a couple weeks to get this coworker out of her system but then I’d call it quits and not wait around for her. If it works out someday, great but don’t wait. You deserve someone who thinks you’re the cat’s pajamas. Sorry for saying that but the situation seemed right.

Q: What’s the best way to kiss a girl at the end of a date.

A: The best way is the just go for it. walk her to the door and kiss her. don’t ask – that’s such a turn off. If you’re feelin it and you think she is too, just kiss. Not too much tongue please!

Tip of the day:
If a girl has really curly hair, you can play with it but don’t try to run your fingers thru it. You’ll get stuck and it’ll be embarrassing for everyone.

Q: I met a very sweet, cute girl at the bar the other night. We were both with groups but she and I went up to the bar, got a drink and chatted for a while. Before she left I got her number, but here is the problem, she has a boyfriend! She told me she had a boyfriend while she was giving me her number and I told her that I was ok with it, if she was ok with it – she said yes. Now, I do like the girl, I want to take her out but I’m not sure the correct way to approach the situation and what would be a good date/activity? There is also one additional catch; ultimately to make it ‘less date like’ since we’re going out as friends, I would ask her out during the week, but I travel Monday thru Thursday every week, so we would have to go out on the weekend, if even for lunch. I met her last Saturd ay so I’ d like to call her in the next day or two. Thanks for your ear; if you have any good ideas, I’d love to hear them!

A: You can’t go out with her if she has a boyfriend! This can only be bad. If she does like you, do you want a girl who would cheat on her boyfriend? If she just thinks you’re friends, do you want to just be friends? This is bad news here.
Sorry to be the messenger but I’ve been cheated on and it’s no fun!

Q: How many chances do you give a girl? We've been friends for seven years and have tried dating during that time. But each time, she pulls back and we go back to being friends. Now she wants to date again and is professing that this time is different; even ssid that she loves me. I'm having trouble getting excited to try it again, given our history. She is getting hurt that I won't give it another go. What do you think?

A: How many times have you tried it so far. I would say 3 tops. If you’ve tried it twice, you could give it one more shot but anymore than that and she’s just playing with you. It’ll be too hard for you to trust her and you’ll always have your guard up. And you can’t base a relationship on that.
She does sound like she’s putting herself out there so if it’s less than 3, then you could give it a shot….
Let me know what you decide!

Q: Hey DG,
I got a whoppin' whopper of a crush on this girl, but she's I think waiting on this other dude to pounce and he isn't budging... help me out here!

A: You may have to just take a chance. If she’s really waiting for him, she may not say yes but you may be waiting forever if you wait for him to reject her somehow first. You either ask her out and risk the rejection or you wait patiently or, you could move on and forget about her….
Let me know what you decide. You sound like a cool guy so I say you go for it and ask her out!
