Why She Doesn’t Want To Talk To You

Why She Doesn’t Want To Talk To You

One of my very favourite pastimes is watch people interact with each other. The other day, I was at a party and saw this really gorgeous woman flash an enticing smile in the direction on a group of guys looking at her as she walked in. A few minutes later, a well-dressed guy, a drink in hand, sauntered over to the woman and said “Hi”. I was [...]

Do Guys Lose Interest If You Reveal Too Much?

Do Guys Lose Interest If You Reveal Too Much?

Question: I read your blog: The "Rules" and Playing Dating Mind Games. While I agree with some things you say, I do not think that women should be open and forthcoming in the first few dates. I’ve been out on great first few dates with a number of great guys but nothing that lasted for more than 3- 4 dates. The last guy I went out with was [...]

How To Show A Guy You’re Attracted To Him

How To Show A Guy You’re Attracted To Him

Question: I am an intelligent and independent woman but I can’t seem to master how to approach men without appearing desperate. All the articles and books I read say relax, be confident, have the right attitude and the rest will fall into place, but when I catch a guy looking at me or checking me out, I just get really shy and nervous. What do [...]

Is He Shy Or Just Likes Me As A Friend

Is He Shy Or Just Likes Me As A Friend

Question: I loved your article, The Best Men Are Often Too Shy To Chase Women - They Need A Little Help From You. It’s the best I’ve read on shy men. I met a guy I’m very attracted to; 38, divorced with no kids. I’m 40 divorced with one son. He and my brother-in- law co-own an investment firm. One day my brother-in-law jokingly suggested [...]

“You’re Hot and Sexy” Conversation Starters

“You’re Hot and Sexy” Conversation Starters

It’s so common to hear the words “personality is more important than looks” and I personally have a reputation for touting personality over looks when it comes to choosing a long term partner. That’s not to say that I don’t think physical attraction should play a part in choosing a mate. It makes no sense dating someone you’re not [...]

Have You Dumped This Guy? [Me Too!]

Have You Dumped This Guy? [Me Too!]

He opened the door to a sparsely furnished one bedroom apartment. It was clean, tidy and smelt good, but it was obvious -- this was a guy of very modest means. I was raised dirt poor and material things have never been an issue with me (owning two pairs of shoes, and eating three meals a day is "living rich" as far as I am concerned), but I was [...]

When Does a Friend Become a Romantic Interest?

When Does a Friend Become a Romantic Interest?

Question: I recently met a guy on an online dating site. We chatted for three weeks and in all that time not once did I feel that butterflies in the stomach feeling. When he told me he was going to call me, two days before we spoke for the first time, I forgot about it until the phone rang. He said he was nervous but I was as calm as can be. When [...]

Is It a “Break-Up” If You Dated For Only 2 Months?

Is It a “Break-Up” If You Dated For Only 2 Months?

Question: If you are dating someone for 2 months and then she decides to end things, could this be considered a "break up" ?  We had sex, if that makes any difference. The Love Doctor's Answer: Good question. Now... let's get "sex" out of the way first... ): Some 20 or so years ago, the moment you had sex with someone, you were officially [...]

Why Women Call And Text Men, Study Finds

Why Women Call And Text Men, Study Finds

There was once a time when men were expected to make the moves in courtship but research suggests it is now women who take the lead, relentlessly pursuing lovers with phone calls and texts. A study of mobile phone traffic indicates that women are more intent than men on having a romantic relationship. "It's the first really strong evidence [...]

Just Friends Or One-Way Romantic Attraction?

Just Friends Or One-Way Romantic Attraction?

When one friend admits they are "into" the other, but the other is not "into" them like that, things can get really weird. But they don't have to, says Heidi Reeder, associate professor of communication at Boise State University. Reeder's research team did a study on why some friendships end and others don't after one friend tells the other [...]
