All of a sudden he changed a lot and said he wasn’t ready for a relationship… I haven’t had any contact with him for over a month now… I miss him a lot, but I don’t know if a should contact him… Please help! Should I contact him or not??? Thank you!!

    I’m in a FWB situation with a guy. I’ve noticed lately he’s backing off, and I’m definitely going to give him his space as I don’t want to scare him off by asking why he’s distant.
    We’ve been seeing each other for a little more than a month now, and he lives an hour away. I know I like him, and I have a feeling he may like me back. He’s very respectful and protective when we are together. He also breaks all the FWB rules by initiating cuddling, we spend nights together since we live at a distance, and we practically act like a couple.
    I guess I basically would like to know how to handle the silence. How to keep cool with him not talking to me. I know there’s the possibility the silence will be forever. I guess I’d also like to know if there’s signs your FWB likes you, or if he’s bailing out.

    I love your articles, and they’ve really helped me gain some perspective already. Thanks!

    My fiancé of 4 years has called off or wedding and just left me. He says he doesn’t want to be married at all, but if he did it would be to me. I am trying my best to just move on, but he keeps coming back around giving me just enough hope that he wants me. How do I handle this situation? I love him so much, but I want marriage. He didn’t just postpone a wedding, he stopped calling, texting, communicating, everything. …why is he bothering with me now?

    The man I am dating will not text me back or answer my calls most of the time. I have mentioned that it bothers me. I quit texting much an I rarely call anymore. He is super attentive when he is with me… he doesn’t answer anyone else when he is with me. I don’t think it means anything but the inconsistancy is certainly bothersome to me. Suggestions for helping our situation?

    Hi there,

    I have this close guy friend. He will always listen when i need someone to and he is always homest with me in a good way. (He will tell me what he thinks even if he thinks it’s not what i want to hear). But here’s the thing, he says things that make me think he likes me more than just a friend… None of my other guy friends say those specific things to me… And i don’t know if it’s because he knows that i was close with another friend of mine or what. If he does like me, why not do something about it? (Or is he not doing anything about it because he CAN’T do anything about it [there is about half the country in between us]). I also know that “drunk” conversations don’t really count, but you have to wonder, if a guy is talking to you (maybe not all the time) but TALKING when he is sober, then why go out of your way to be open about your feelings when you’re drunk? I feel like there is something I’m missing…

    My exboyfriend was at totally different stage of his life and wanted some time for him to sort everything out. I thought it was very selfish of him and I said good bye. We met two weeks after we broke up and it was a big mistake. I could tell our feelings were not disappeared as I was hoping so. But I cannot be with him because he has a lot of things to sort out. I am deeply in love with him and I will love him forever but I cannot hold my life for him to catch up with me. Should I just move on? I am really confused.

    Hi! I was in a previous relationship where my partner would disappear with no explanation. I am struggling a bit in my current relationship when I don’t hear from my partner because he has long periods of work travel without Internet/phone access. He has always been honest and treated me well. I know this is my issue (more than likely). How do I control my emotions?

    I still want my ex boyfriend. We got into a huge argument about trust because he went through my phone. I wasn’t mad he did it. I just wanted to know why when I’ve been completely open and honest. Now he won’t even speak to me and told me to stay out of his life. It completely escalated outside of my control. What should I do to get him to communicate with me again?

    I am a good looking woman, take care well of myself! But I have a problem! After I decided to divorce my husband I felt terribly in love with this man. He was all that I dreamt of! From having me desiring to be with him night & day to couldn’t imagine my life without him. However I got a decision to make again. Do I have to leave him!? He was bipolar and started to be physically aggressive. It was another difficult task on my life and since then there is no other man that can touch my heart.
    I feel that i have tried enough and have decided to be on my own for a little time.
    I am a reserved woman and will not have sex in the first night! However I only find man that is dating with no commitment. Which for me is very unattractive. I love to fall in love!!!
    So is this coming from my behavior of wanting to focus on myself? Am I attracting the wrong man?

    Hi – I met my boyfriend in May and by August I was living there everyday and he recently asked me to move in. However when i got a lot of my things there he said he felt claustrophobic and changed his mind about me moving in case we broke up (or as he said he got angry with me) and I had no where to go. I have now moved back home. He didn’t want to break-up with me but I felt that he wanted his cake and to eat it too e.g. that I would be his girlfriend with all the benefits, but he still had the option of finding what he calls a trophy wife. He knows this is a lame statement but still wants one (boyhood dream). He calls me his best friend. He sometimes even calls me “bud”! Our time together is full of talking and laughter and fun and we have the same interests/habits/outlook. But obviously to him I’m not a trophy wife and he wants one. I’ve broken up with him over this, but do expect that he will come back as the fight (our first) over me moving in came completely out of the blue (even to him – I asked). I really love this one, but I’m afraid of being the ‘fill in’ girl til the “one” comes along. I concerned he doesn’t find me attractive even though we have sex constantly.He has also said that he loved me but not like his first girlfriend who he thought was really beautiful. I think he’s the confused one – I am simply not what he imagined his girl to be – but I rocked his world. What do I do?

    My old friend and I have reconnected after many years. He started off texting me all the time sharing personal and family photos. He was letting me know about everything that was going on in his life. All of a sudden it stopped. We still haven’t had sex with each other. Im wondering why did he stop sharing?

    Hi guys!
    I’ve been seeing a guy on and off for 9 months now, and I need to have the discussion with him about where we stand. But, I’m worried that this subject tends to come off as clingy or overbearing to guys. So what’s a good, casual way to bring up the “what are we (and should we take the next step)?” talk without freaking the guy out?
    A little background: he and I talk every few days or weeks but don’t see each other often because we, now, live in different states (but I happen to, coincidentally, be moving to the same state soon). There is obvious flirting when we talk, he calls me “babe” from time to time, and when he’s been drinking, he’ll say that he loves me or even ask me to marry him. The last time, I just played it off by saying “oh that’s what you always say when you’re drunk” but I woke up to his response, “this is different.” I’m not sure if I’m just a friend he likes to flirt with or if he really does have interest. I need to ask him, but I don’t know what a good way to bring that up is. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

    First off, thank you so much for doing this! I’ll try to make this simple. I got way too drunk on accident (really stupid–I know; the hunch punch snuck up on me) and, apparently, I called my boyfriend a “loser” in front of his friends. I don’t even remember it, and I feel horrible about it. I don’t think he’s a loser, so I’m not sure why I would say that (other than being completely out of it). The obvious answer is that I should never get that drunk, but the damage is done. I’ve apologized to him and offered to apologize to his friends, but I don’t know if he’s going to forgive me. Is there anything I can do to make him forgive me and move past this?

    My boyfriend of nearly two years has recently stopped responding. We have been trying to make it work despite him taking on a second job. We still tried to make time for each other between his jobs. I have offered to help him but he refuses any offers to assist. How long should I wait before I just write off the relationship. I feel like I am the only one trying to make it work.Anytime he would go silent in the past he would just say he was stressed out. How can I tell if he is stressed or if its over

    My ex left me for 1 month and he came back asked me if we can be together again and I said yes.We were okay for 2 weeks and then when I have a chance to tell what I feel for our relationship I said I missed the way he used to be before. I said that because he will not text me if I will not text him fist. There’s a day that he really not text me. I felt that I am his priority before unlike now then he said there are other responsibilities as well. And thats our last conversation and we didnt talk to each other other again for 1 week now. He is from pakistan and Im from the Philippines. We didnt see each other yet.

    I’ve been friends with a guy for a while now. I thought we had mutual interest but recently he vented to me about all these women interested in him when he’s not. Was that a warning to me? He’s been cool ever since that. I’m not sure if its because he’s injured (normally very active) so he’s frustrated. I’ve never asked him out, I’ve only been open to what I think of him. I’m confused..should I say something? I feel like he dangled a carrot, now he’s taking it away!

    It’s been over a year, and we have a great relationship in many ways, he even has proposed to me and we are keen on each other -but there is no talk of introducing me to his
    Family (who live overseas). Just met one member, who came to visit.

    I have been seeing a guy I met online about seven weeks now. Things were normal and nice in the beginning – he texted/called me frequently and asked me out for a few dates. However, it started to slow down a bit after the 5th date; he got very busy with his job, was sick for a few days when he had to cancel a date with me, and then he went back to his parents’ for thanksgiving… We only got together one time since he returned from Thanksgiving…and he doesn’t text as often and the response seems to be slower (like next day) lately. He seems to be totally fine with seeing me only once a week or even two…last time I checked, he still logs onto the dating site where we met. I try not to sweat on the fact that he is probably seeing/talking to other girls, because I understand that’s kind of the norm of dating today before both people agree to be exclusive and I myself am trying to keep my options open as well by going on dates with other guys (even though I wish I don’t have to). I like him very much and we always have a great time together. He treats me with respect and is sweet to me when we get together, and we have had intimacy(since 5th date)which is great…but I am not sure why he wouldn’t want to see me more often as we are in the 2nd month of our dating. So my question is, should I still keep dating him and give him more space/time to see if he would step up and consider to build an exclusive long-term relationship with me until we hit the 3-month mark (We haven’t had the talk yet)? or should I already write him off because he doesn’t seem to try and move forward with our relationship? And if he is seeing other girls at the same time, what can I do to stand out and win him over (besides being cool, fun and care-free and laid back)? It would be greatly appreciated if you can provide your insights on this situation.

    Sincerely,
    Freya

    Is it strange to take a break before getting married? I’ve been with the same person for 12 years, we got engaged a while back, and although I know he’s the one, I can’t kick this feeling of wanting to go “find myself” and live life before settling down. I feel I missed out on what all of my other friends have already experienced. He says he’s ok with it and will wait for me but I’m not sure that’s fair to him.
