Relationships & Desire

I needed a day to explain why I was crying. My boyfriend called that a breach of trust, and our next calls ended the relationship.

He lives across the driveway, but we’ve never spoken. Now I have a crush—and I’m debating whether a wave or a friend request would be less awkward.

She says I’m a good partner and father, and wants to stay married. I’m struggling to understand where that leaves us after her attraction has faded.

After two dates and a month of silence, I’d assumed she wasn’t interested. Then she got back in touch with a question I hadn’t expected.

At 29, old journal entries have me reconsidering men who wanted relationships when I only wanted sex. But I don’t know how they’d remember me.

A friend’s one-view photo was supposed to show a hickey. He wondered whether it also meant their friendship was becoming sexual.

The messages were warm until I asked for a phone call before meeting. He called the request a red flag, then wished me luck.

After five passionate years of long-distance dating, living together brought less affection—and an old conversation raised a question.

He offered a place to stay and a night out dancing. I liked both ideas—until I wondered whether my yes had sounded bigger than I meant.

A month into dating, she wants a social space of her own. The trouble is, it’s the pub quiz I’ve attended with my friends for almost three years.

Years after our breakup, my ex’s girlfriend sent a warm, bewildering DM—and suggested the three of us catch up.

Her old FWB is still a close friend. I asked for reassurance, but our conversation left me questioning the visit I have planned.
