Dear Dr Date,

Every year my credit card company sends me a companion ticket for a free flight with the purchase of a flight. My ex-boyfriend and I had planned on using one of these for a trip together prior to breaking up. After we broke up, we remained friends.

What kept me in the friendship was that during the breakup, he said he wouldn’t discount the possibility of dating in the future — our relationship just wasn’t very well timed when we dated.

Dear Dr. Date,
I am still in love with my ex. When we broke up, he said he wouldn’t rule out the possibility of dating in the future but not now. I’ve gone out on dates with some great guys, but I still keep finding myself wanting the ex. Is something wrong with me?
—Left Hanging

Dear Dr. Date,
I finally made a new friend here and the other night, we went to a concert — the first time I’ve done something here with someone. She brought along a few other friends who don’t go to the University, including one she’s known since they were ten. That one is pretty cute, but I don’t know if he’s pursuable.

Dear Dr. Date,
I’m a stud. I know this for a fact. Why can’t I land a girlfriend?
—Sick Of Striking Out

Dear Dud,
If there’s anything that gets my goat, it’s an insufferable sense of entitlement. Since when is stud status the end-all, be-all key to getting a gal pal?

Dear Dr. Date,

What are some special spots on or around campus that you would recommend for having a bit o’ fun, if you catch my drift?

Dear Dr. Date,

Hypothetically speaking, what’s the best way to approach the subject of a threesome without upsetting one’s girlfriend?

—I Want To Ride The Tricycle

 

Trike,

Tricky, trike! You’re right to be hesitant. Can you imagine the backlash if you casually sauntered into her room saying, “Baby, you ain’t enough for me. Why don’t we jazz it up a bit and toss your best friend Claire in the mix?”

Dear Dr. Date,
Two years ago, a woman broke my heart. Somehow I feel responsible for it — she left a FWB “relationship” with me for another man who was better than me in almost every way.
But we remained friends because we cared too much about each other. I personally saw her off at the airport when she left to be with Nice-Guy-Greg. The problem is, I’ve not felt the same way about anyone since then, and she’s happy where she is now. Her only complaint was that she didn’t get enough sex (I gave her no pity).

Dr. Date,

What are your thoughts about timing in relationships?  Is it possible to have met the right person at the wrong time in each other’s lives? 

I ask because I am 20, dating a 26-year-old, and we are at two different places in life right now. I can tell I’m not as mature or wise as he is. He’s the man of my dreams, but I’m not sure if I’m ready for that yet. I just wish I was a few years older before we had met.

I’ve been in a slump for the past six months or so, and it’s starting to affect my confidence. Got any tips for how to get the swagger back?
—Ned

Ned,
So you’re looking to get your swag, or groove back. Well, if you look at the seminal 1998 film “How Stella Got Her Groove Back,” it appears that the steps are actually rather simple. You live in a tropical paradise and pick up some youthful tail 20 years your junior and: voila — groove restored.

Dr. Date,


I’m a girl (who has trouble getting and keeping a “grip”), who has been seeing a guy regularly for the past couple months. The only thing is he seems for the past month to have been hot for me one week, cool the next and then repeat.


Is this just an absence-makes-the-heart-grow-fonder thing, aka normal, or is he toying with me because he doesn’t have the guts to come right out and say he’s not interested in seeing me anymore?

Dr. Date,
So, four years ago I made a very stupid mistake of making my crush mad and hurting his pride just because of a misunderstanding that he never let me to clarify. He  stopped communicating with me until now. Finally, we started talking again; I mostly asked questions and he answered. I no longer have a crush on him, but I honestly really want to clear things up, get back to where all this mess began and make things right.

Dear Dr. Date,


I think I’m in love with someone. The only problem is that I’m not the only one. His name is Tim Tebow and if I could, I would marry him this second. However, for obvious reasons, this may prove to be difficult. What should I do to get him to fall in love with me too?

Dear Dr. Date,
There’s a grad student that I’ve gotten to know, and I think I like him. He’s 30, and I’m 22. While I believe that’s socially acceptable, I’m a little unsure of the age gap. Still, he’s cute and funny, etc. Should I still make a move or am I being immature?
—Half Plus Seven?

Dr. Date,


I never thought I’d ever write into this column even though I read it religiously.


But, alas, I have a dating dilemma: About a month ago, a friend of mine introduced me to a guy who she thought I would be great for. So, I ended up finally meeting him at a friend’s house, and we spent the whole time talking to each other there. At the end of the night, we exchanged phone numbers, and since then we’ve been seeing each other every week.
