  • 28 Year Old Woman Who Never Had a Boyfriend

    July 27, 1998

    By the age of 28 I have never had a boyfriend or been asked out. I am not attractive- I am overweight and perhaps a bit different from the average girl- I have always had plenty of friends so this has never seemed a problem.

  • 30 and Clueless

    February 21, 2000

    Dr. Love, I am almost 30 and divorced for 7 years, no kids. I've only had 2 dates in those 7 years.

    My problem is that I like this man who is an acquaintence (age 32) and I'm not sure how to tell if the feeling is mutual. He is VERY NICE and VERY SHY. He has complimented me when I've gotten my hair done and remembers totally mundane details of our conversations.

  • A Desperate Girl

    December 22, 1997

    Want to ask u one thing. How can i forget about him if I have to see him everyday? Me and him are very very good friends, and many a times the dividing line is quite blur, i found that one day i am in love with him, but too late, i know that he is secretly in love with another girl, then i encourage him to go further and then he succeed, he dates with that girl, and for 3 months, and then they broke up. But i know that he cannot forget about her.

  • A Little Overweight

    March 15, 1999

    Okay Dr. Love here it goes.

    I think I am in a relationship with a wonderful man. You see He and I are best friends and I have fallen in love with him. He on the other hand says that he loves me but is not in love with me(whatever that is supposed to mean). We spend all of our time together and yes we are sexually active with each other only.

  • A Saddened Individual

    October 13, 2003

    Dear Dr. Love

    I had the opportunity of receiving an anwser from you about a year ago, so if someone needs you more than I, I understand. You see Doc. my life seems so meaningless lately. I hate going to work, and college, but most of all most everyone doesn't like me. The problem is everyone thinks I'm gay and all the teens in town call me that even if I drive by.

  • Afraid of Adopting a New Behavior

    November 19, 2001

    Hello Dr. Love,

    I am a 36 year old woman who is happy with myself and my life and need some professional advice. Upon reflection, I have realized that virtually every man with whom I've been in a relationship has been emotionally inaccessable. This fact probably isn't a surprise to a psychologist as my father died when I was only 6 years old and I even consiously used to think 'this time I'm going to win'.

  • Afraid to Ask Her Out

    October 13, 1997

    Hello Dr. Love,

    I am a 16 year old male, and I have had my eye on this beautiful, charming girl (or should i say young woman) for a long time. I have been debating whether or not i should ask her out. I always tell myself to wait and see if she shows anything to even hint that she likes me, and thee are many things she does that could be signs that she does. I just am really shy, and I do not think that I am good enough for her. I need advice on what I should do. Thanks

  • Afraid to be Hurt and Afraid to Wait

    January 7, 2002

    To be honest, this is my first time on your site, it will not be the last. I am a 29 yr old widowed mother of 3, I live in a rather small town bombarded by college kids 10 months of the year. I tried the Internet personal scene (my kids are young and getting out to meet people is difficult). I answered a profile (actually several) you get the usual some don't respond and some do but, nothing is there. I spoke to three on the phone and met 2 in person.
