Q: Do I have to invite this guy to our labor day fam dinner? I don’t feel like entertaining him. been dating 3 months.

A: You should probably invite him unless it doesn’t mean much to you and you’re just having fun. If you see anything in the future with him, invite him. And hopefully you won’t have a bad time. And if you do, maybe you should go to option b where you just have fun with the guy and it’s nothing serious.

Q: Ok so there is this girl at school that I really like, so every time I break the ice I feel pretty good. But then we both get busy with school and its like the ice that I broke freezes back over but twice as thick as it was in the first place, if that makes sense. What do I do to prevent it from happening anymore?

A: You have to keep the communication flowing instead of taking breaks. Talk more often or send some texts between calls. If she’s not into it, the ice will freeze no matter what. If she is into it, it probably won’t be this hard. It’s a tough business, this relationship stuff. Keep at it but if she’s not into it, move on to someone who is.
Hope that helps!

Q: Hey DG!
So I just graduated college, yea! but I think I want to go out with this girl who I've known for a few years that still has a year left, boo! I'm living at my parents house right now (in ohio, also boo!) and she is in Illinois. what is your take on this? Should I just use my time to getting employed? Hope all is well with you.

A: If you’re into each other, the distance will be hard but certainly not impossible. The tough part is that you’re trying to get something started with long distance already in place. If you think she’s worth it, go for it. If not, it’s hard and you’re better off finding someone nearby (and looking for a job!)
Hope that helps.

Q: Would you call a new guy in front of your friends? My friends and I were debating and I said no way but they think I’m shy and crazy.

A: I agree with you! I like to call in prives. No reason to add stress to the situation.

Q: I’m about to get married but getting cold feet. Is that normal?

A: I’ve never gotten married but it depends on how cold your feet are! If it’s just some last minute butterflies, you’re probably ok. If it’s nerves like, Do I love him and Are we really right for each other, then I would talk to someone who knows you better than me like one of your friends. Don’t take it lightly though. You’d way rather break it off before than after if you need to do any breaking…

Q: The guy I’m dating works WAYYY too much. How can I get some ME time?

A: You have to be a little understanding and find a compromise. Make dates where you go to the coffee shop and both bring your computers to work/play. Rent a movie and let him work in front of the TV for the first half. Make more girls nights so he can work while you’re gone and then you can have a date night the next day.

Q: I’m a trainer and totally into a woman I train. Is it terrible to make a move after a session?

A: As long as she’s not way sweaty, I’m ok with it. She’d prob be more shy than anything with all the sweat. Why don’t you ask her out instead of make a move after a session? You can keep it kind of cas and just see if she wants to grab dinner.

Let me know how it goes!

Q: So, do girls really find it appealing when guys chase/pursue them? Or does it become too stalker-ish?

A: You should chase and pursue as long as she’s responding favorably. If she’s answering your calls and accepting your dates, you should be the one to pursue. Hope that helps.

Q: Hi, I messaged a quick message about music to a girl on myspace bc we have so much in common. She seems laid back, like me, mentiioning she likes the outdoors and all the same music, laughs in the messages. Ive sent three messages, shes sent three, but she waited like five days to message me back last. does that mean anything? should i ask if she wants to hang out? and if so, what should i ask her to do? thanks much

A: Don’t be down about 1 msg taking 5 days if the others were quicker. Ask her our! The worst that happens is she says no.

Ask her out for coffee or a drink (if you’re 21) or dinner. Let me know how it goes.

Best of luck!!

Q: saw your advice of 8-11-08 . It could also be a hint of whats to come . I married the girl of my dreams or so it seemed. Once the ring was on her finger she lost all interest in any physicall activity since then my 120pound bride has been swallowed up by a three hundred pound hag from hell.

A: So sad! She was probably miserable too – if it makes you feel any better!

Q: Do I have to Dream Cruise with my boyfrind and family? They’re so into it and I could die!

A: No, you definitely don’t have to. Make it a boys/family day for them. Maybe you could stop by for lunch or bring lunch or something. You’ll probably just get in the way – or at least that’s a good excuse!

Q: Is it bad to have a drink before I go on a date?

A: If you’re gonna be drunk when you have another on your date, then yes. If you’re a heavyweight and need to take the edge of before the date, 1 or 1/2 a drink is ok (if you’re over 21).

Q: Do girls care about bald? I’m considering plugs…

A: I like bald. Very sexy. No need for the plugs. Just be confident and take it all down. You can send a pic and I’ll make sure you look very handsome.

Q: Is it bad to want my gf to work out and keep in shape? She has gained about 10 lbs in the past couple months.

A: It’s not bad for you to want her to be healthy and happy but it is bad if you want her to look good on your arm. You should try to get to the root of the problem but it’s a Very sensitive issue so be gentle and carry a sword. Is she depressed? Is she a yoyo dieter? Is she eating with you or closet eating? I would worry if she’s unhappy and closet eating. If she’s happy and eating more because you guys go out to dinners and eat aps and desserts, then blow it off. You guys can make us eat more when we date because we don’t want to seem like that girl who only gets salads.

Anyway, if it’s something serious, get real help!

Q: How can I stop a guy from calling? He calls or emails every day and I’m totally not into him.

A: You’ll have to tell him. You have to let him know “he’s a great guy but you’re not attracted to him.” If you don’t give him the hurtful truth, he’ll keep calling. Don’t be mean, just get your point across.

Q: So Dating Girl,
Your wise advice on the ways of women is needed once more. Can you put it into English what a certain girl means when she says she's "bad at dating"? This is in the context of having a great time together, then she disappears a few weeks completely with no explanation, reappears once to say sorry not good at dating as her entire explanation, and then disappears again. Yes, it seems obvious she's not interested, and that's fine, but what the heck?

A: You got it. She had a good time, but not a good enough time to bend her busy schedule, or muster up the energy to call. As they say, she’s just not that into you. So, yes, you read it right. It’s just a bad excuse and she’s probably had a few guys that she’s not that into in a row so she calls her pattern "bad at dating."

Hope that helps!

Q: The other weekend I was at the bar, talking to some friends, and this really nice guy comes up and says something along the lines of, "Hi, so sorry to interrupt, but I saw you from over there and you have the most radiant smile," blah blah blah... turns out he's 22. And he really is nice... told me he really wanted to get to know me, etc. However! Then I find out he doesn't have a job, lives with a buddy in a trailer on someone's property way out in the sticks, has 20 minutes on his cell phone per month, might move to Houston tomorrow, might not, etc. He's very attentive in that he calls and texts at least every other day (yeah, I gave him my number, sigh), and we've hung out a couple times since the initial meeting... I keep meeting guys like him... bold and seemingly confident, young, way good looking, but a complete mess in every other aspect. 1) I'm too old for that shiz, and 2) I need to learn how to attract guys that still might have grand dreams, but are also somewhat grounded.
Surely older guys, or at least guys that have their act together, like my smile too?

A: For one, you may want to stop going out with the guys we know are bad news. Have you tried dating online? It’s a good way for you to choose the guys instead of wait for them. Or facebook. Or ask friends for set ups instead of meet someone at the bar. Bars tend to be young.
Let me know what you think.
