Friday, February 05, 2010 - 12:00 AM

POLL: Just the tip...

A reader writes... Q: Is it classless for a female not to even attempt to help pay the dinner bill on the first date? I was going to pay the whole bill anyway but it turned me off so bad that she didn't at least ask, that I never called her again.

POLL: Leftover resentment
Friday, January 22, 2010 - 12:00 AM
A reader writes... Q: I went on a date with a man back in December who took me to a nice restaurant. Afterward, he told me he had a problem with the fact that I'd taken a doggie bag of leftovers home with me. The guy told me he doesn't like it when women do this, because it makes him feel as if they are more interested in the meal than the date. That really bothered me. In fact, I'm still baffled. Is it tacky for someone to take a doggie bag home on a first date?
POLL: Is it bad form to take a doggy bag home after a dinner date?

19% (363) |

80% (1495) |
No, it's perfectly acceptable |

POLL: Square Peg
Friday, January 15, 2010 - 12:00 AM
A reader writes... Q: I'm a high school senior and feel pretty lonely right now. Most of the kids I know are into sex and drugs, and because I'm not, I've been excluded from a lot of fun events. The kids who want to be friendly with me are dull and uninteresting. Do I lower my standards just to roll with the kids I like? Or should I suffer until I get to college in the fall?
POLL: What's the best choice for this person?

Wait 'til college to make friends |

POLL: Rules of Engagement
Friday, January 08, 2010 - 12:00 AM
A reader writes... Q:A reader writes... Q: A regular reader has submitted some of his New Year dating resolutions for 2010 to help would-be lovers understand more quickly when someone's just not that into you. He had some decent-enough suggestions such as: If it takes more than two hours for someone to return a text, they are not interested. With e-mails, he suggested that if it takes days to get a return e-mail, that's another sign that someone isn't interested in pursuing dating relationship. Some of his other suggestions are: If there is no hand holding on a date, chances are there is no interest. If a good night kiss is not on the lips, forget it. You're a friend. Accept it and move on. If they say they can only meet early and for an hour, then you're not worth it to them. If they ever say, "We can do this as friends," bail quick, you're getting nothing but frustrated. Remember the phrase, "they are letting you know." Because if you see or feel any of these things, be aware, unless you want to be just a friend.
POLL: Do you agree?

POLL: Like a Brother To Her
Wednesday, January 06, 2010 - 12:00 AM
A reader writes... Q: I am a 25-year-old man, and I have always been single. I do have girlfriends, but to them, I am always "the brother they never had" -- which results in some awkward moments. I know I am not one to look at, but I'm a funny guy with a heart of gold -- the kind of guy that would get up in the middle of the night to help my friend out, if needed. I always hear that this is what women like in a man, but for some reason I always tend to be just the friend. What should I do?
POLL: Once a woman tells you that she feels as if you're her brother, you're done. Finished. Walk away. You're not getting anywhere with her. Ever.

POLL: Apron Strings Attached
Friday, January 01, 2010 - 12:00 AM
A reader writes... Q: I have a 25-year-old boyfriend who has a decent job (and is currently in the process of improving it), very mild debt (compared to most his age) and his whole life ahead of him. The problem is, he still lives at home. Well, actually, this isn't so bad. He wants to stay until all of his debt is cleared. But what I can't stand are his parents! They baby him so much, I don't think he'd ever really leave, given the choice. His mom cooks five nights a weeks, his dad handles a majority of his finances and they both do little odds and ends things that, I feel, leave him completely clueless to how things are going to work once he's out of that set up and in the bigger world. The real issue is that I feel his parents are hindering him by doing this, and not knowing any better, he doesn't stop it. His mother has already said in passing that whoever he marries will have to handle his finances, wake him up for work, etc. Basically, take care of him like they do! It's only been six months, so I don't know if I have any right to say anything or pry into the highly volitile topic of money with him, but in the long run I don't want dependant, I want independant. I don't see myself having my first child (if any) being my significant other. True, we are FAR from that point, but if we ever get to that point, I don't want to have to take care of him like a mother would. So, should I cut my losses and run now or find a way to cut the metaphorical apron strings?
POLL: Should she drop this guy?
