... somehow it all still feels too fast.

Dear Meredith, I'm a divorced 48-year-old straight dad. Long story short, I have met a women almost 16 years younger than I am, and we are feeling it big time. We only really hang out just the two of us…

I recently met a guy at a holiday party. But he wasn't the guy (Guy No. 1) I was expecting to spend the night flirting with. He was that guy's best friend. Guy No. 1 is a man I've known…

Dear Meredith, I'm a 28-year-old guy who has moderate success getting numbers, but sometimes I struggle to get to the first date. I'm a history major and serious writer and have a hard time coping with the limited nature of…

Hi Meredith, My boyfriend and I are in our mid and late 20s. He's the best person I know; he's hardworking, a family guy, smart, funny, and a gentleman. We've been together a little over half a year, but have…

Do I have to install parental locks to get myself off Tinder?

He asked if he could get back in touch with me after the new year.

She said she had a bad breakup and is afraid of commitment.

How do you push through the dating fatigue and disappointment?

I find something that bothers me or do something out of character that will eventually lead to the relationship's demise around 9-12 months in.

I've been involved with a married/separated woman for about a year and a half. She and her not-quite-ex were both friends of mine for many years. We all do work in creative arts and have collaborated on and off. After…

In the days after we see each other, I get sad because I'm wishing that he returned my feelings.

Hi Meredith, I'm a man who recently got back into dating in my mid-30s – after not doing much of it since high school. Lack of confidence plus a lot of moving around the country in my 20s caused me…

I feel like the situation I am about to describe is what a lot of people in their mid-20s face. I have been seeing someone for three months, and at the beginning, we both said we did not know what…

He's talking like he's getting serious – but we haven't even met yet.

I do believe he is the love of my life, and at 50, that's something.

I turned 41 this year. I was married but got divorced after eight years, and we have children together. After my separation, I decided I would do some introspection. I wanted to look at why my marriage didn't work and…

I was in a serious (at least at this point in my life) relationship with my partner while I was pursuing my master's. As my program was coming to an end, I was planning to move to where my girlfriend…

This lack of connection and overall loneliness led me to accept an ex back into my life from a few years ago.

In both relationships, I was told that I wasn't committed enough.

In my eyes, our relationship hasn't progressed at all in a public way.

I can't bring anything up if an ex was involved at all.

Hi Meredith, I'm a 25-year-old woman looking to find someone to settle down with, but I can't tell if I'm being too picky. Lately I feel like the grim reaper of dating because with just about every guy I've casually…

Hey Meredith, I met a man via screenwriting grad school. Classes had been online for the last three years. I noticed one guy – let’s call him Stu. I was immediately drawn to him. I was intrigued even more after…

I hate to say this, but I miss my ex. I'm in my late 40s and I broke up with him about eight months ago. Our relationship was very toxic. I coupled up with him after I got a divorce…
