POLL: Peg o' my heart...
Friday, January 27, 2012 - 12:00 AM
Q: As a male who's into bondage as a submissive, I have a tough time bringing up my kink. How does a guy bring up the fact that he wants to be tied up and/or pegged by a woman?
POLL: How do you bring up your kinky side to someone you don't know very well -- but would like to know much better?
POLL: Radio silence
Wednesday, January 25, 2012 - 12:00 AM
I am 20 years old, and I have been on-and-off with a girl for 4 years now. Recently things had started to look really good, but all of a sudden she stopped messaging me during the day. Whenever I call her at night, she says she really cares about me -- and I know she does. It's just that she can be very inconsiderate. We have talked about it before but nothing changes.
POLL: What should this guy do?
POLL: Used and abused?
Friday, January 20, 2012 - 08:47 AM
Q.: I recently got out of a long term relationship (8 months ago). I started dating and found a girl I had/have strong feelings for. We hit it off rather fast, but when I invited her out to meet my friends/coworkers, she paused and told me she really doesn't want a full-on relationship. She then said I was just really good in bed and fun to hang out with. She just wanted to keep doing that, but without the whole meet-my-friends-and-parents part. She also recently got out of a long-term relationship only 2 months ago. I'm going along with this hoping its only going to take time for her to warm up to the idea.
POLL: Is he being used for sex?
|
37% (530) |
Yes! And he'd better appreciate it. He's got all of the benefits of a girlfriend and none of the baggage.. |
|
12% (178) |
Yes. And he'd be better off moving on to a more fulfilling relationship. |
|
49% (695) |
Not necessarily. She might just need time. This guy is smart to stay in the zone for a while. |

Can't ask women out
Wednesday, January 18, 2012 - 12:00 AM
Hi. I'm a man in my mid 20s, and I haven't had a date in a few years. It seems that my main problem is that I don't know how to approach someone I don't know. This became painfully obvious recently while I was trying to find a dance partner during my cousin's wedding dance.
Every time I got anywhere near any of the young women there, they were so engrossed in conversation with each other that it was impossible for me to greet them without interrupting them. I tried approaching some of the women, but they were always huddled together chattering with each other, so the only way for me to talk to any of them would have involved standing awkwardly close behind some of them. I didn't have any opportunities to say anything more than "Hi" or "Excuse me", and when I said those, they didn't show signs of hearing me at all.
I've read that at parties it's smart to seek out people who are hanging out by themselves, and talk to them. There was really only one girl I found who was silent, but the first few times I looked at her, she looked away from me and quickly left the vicinity, as though I made her uncomfortable, so I didn't bother talking to her, and later on in the evening she continued to avoid me anyway.
I came up with an idea that I thought was pretty smart. The idea was to ask the bride, my cousin, to introduce me to her friends, because obviously she knew a lot of people there and everyone wanted to talk to her that night. My idea proved utterly ineffective because she was running back and forth all night to talk to everyone. I didn't even know where she was half the time, and I didn't get a chance to say more than "Hello" to her until after midnight, four full hours after I began trying to talk to her. She introduced me to four of her friends who were just leaving, and while I was making sure I had all their names straight, my cousin disappeared on me, so I left.
I spent the majority of the night sitting with relatives in their 50s and 60s, and a cousin and his girlfriend who were about my age. The latter two seemed to feel sorry for me. I only danced twice that night, both times with relatives.
So, what my question is, what all should I have done differently? Granted, wedding dances are as far from my milieu as anything can be, and maybe they're not a good situation in which to meet people. But I really have similar problems in all settings, and I would like to date more often. I need your help!
POLL: Where there's smoke there's fire...
Friday, January 13, 2012 - 12:00 AM
Q.: There's a lady at work that I'm attracted to. We're both single, and there's no office policy prohibiting relationships between co-workers. The problem is that she's a smoker and I'm a militant non-smoker. I can't help it, but I'm attracted to her. Should I try to date her and ask her to stop smoking?
POLL: Should this non-smoker try to date the smoking hot woman?

53% (860) |
No. Trying to change a person at the very beginning of a relationship is a bad idea. You have plenty of time for that after you're married. |
|
31% (502) |
Maybe. Date her and find out. Maybe she just smokes after sex. |
|
15% (248) |
Yes! People quit smoking all the time. Maybe she's never had a good reason to quit. |

POLL: Can't spell BOFF without BFF
Friday, January 06, 2012 - 12:00 AM
Q: I am getting a divorce and finding that I'm in love with my best friend. It seems that the two are related but they are not. I was already at the end of my marital rope when I discovered that my bff was the man of my dreams. He has been my best friend since 1986-7 and is someone that I talk to about everything. He has never interfered in my marriage and I never interrupted his relationships. We were the epitome of a platonic male/female friendship. Some of my friends say I should wait and get myself together first. My close friends say to get my man! If I could turn off my feelings for BFF, then I would so that we can get through this divorce. He has been part of my routine in life for the last quarter century and I am only 39. So what do I do now? I don't want to rebound. I don't want to ruin my longest friendship ever. I don't want to be stuck in something that is a mistake.
POLL: What should she do?
|
39% (648) |
Whoa! Hold your horses! If he's been you're BFF since the 80s, he'll still be around in another year. |
|
21% (343) |
Slow down. You shouldn't date this guy until your divorce is final -- and then wait a little longer. |
|
3% (54) |
Aw, heck! Go for it. This guy sounds like your soulmate. |
|
1% (18) |
Go ahead and try it out with the BFF, but keep you other options open, too. |
|
34% (566) |
You'd better find out how HE feels about all this first. |

POLL: Long Distance Roaming Charges
Friday, December 30, 2011 - 08:12 AM
Q.: I've been in a relationship with a person who was a close friend for going on a year now... She goes to school 6 hours away down south, it wasnt a huge issue last year but she would be in touch with me constantly. This year she's always hanging out with other people (usually guys). I 100% trust that she isnt cheating on me but she gets really angry when I get irritated at the fact that she's constantly talking about other guys.
Now she's talking about moving into a house with 3 of the guys and a couple girls next year for their living situation, and she's yelling at me telling me the gender shouldn't matter.
I don't want it to bother me but it does.
POLL: What should he do?
|
55% (833) |
Move on. She already has. |
|
6% (102) |
Hang in there. There's probably nothing going on. |
|
37% (571) |
Try to strengthen your lines of communication. |
