I've been single a year now. I work from home and pretty much only go out to the store, gas station, family functions, and that's about it. I'm 47 and feel so shut out. Dating apps are not good. My…

Dear Meredith, I feel that love is a concept that unless a person goes through it, it won't make sense to them, no matter how many books or stories they've read. I'm that person. Ever since I was young, I…

But over time I've started to imagine myself as the coyote, continually chasing the Road Runner, and every scheme ends with me falling off a cliff.

With COVID-, even though I am vaccinated and boosted, I am hesitant to go out and risk infection. On the other hand I have to kick myself out of the house and have no problems going out on my own.

This has honestly made me lose hope in ever finding a man

One of the challenges I've encountered since a teenager – and even when married – are aggressive rivals going after the person I'm with/want at the time.

With my ex, it was an immediate connection, and I knew after our first date that I liked him and saw a future.

But I can't attract anyone's attention on a dating site, and never seem to attract anyone romantically in real life either.

I know I’m the fool for staying with him – you don’t need to advise me about my foolishness.

Meredith, I hate modern dating. I find it unsettling that the acceptable courtship procedures dictate a swift, yet faux, intimacy through text. If I get so much as a "good morning" text (let's not even get into "wyd" or "u…

I started to call her but thought, "I’ll let her reach out to me next." She didn't.

All my friends think that I would have more success with a younger man. But THAT much younger?

This has been a very disappointing experience.

No luck in the relationship department.

I sleep with them on the first date, and then feel ashamed, or disrespected, or like I disrespected them, or....whatever.

Help! I'm a 40-year-old woman who's never been in a relationship longer than a year and a half. I feel like I have trouble connecting with people in general (I don't have a lot of friends), and so I haven't…

I'm 52 years old. I'm single and I seem to have a hard time finding the right woman. I have been scammed by woman on two dating sites; I'm so stupid to have allowed myself to believe these women's phony…

It's almost as if something in my profile or pics has the equivalent of spinach in its teeth.

I am hoping you can clarify generally about what type and nature of differences are boons in a relationship (chocolate and peanut butter) as opposed to those differences in vision that can be harmful (chocolate and tuna).

In the past year, I thought back to all the guys who showed an interest in me but I backed off. I found plenty of excuses.

Thanks to the global pandemic, there is almost no chance of meeting love naturally "in the wild." Like many 20-somethings in the world, I turned to online dating. According to the internet, there was a 50 percent increase in downloads…

I will either get really excited about someone after the first date and then horribly disappointed after date three or four ... or I will not like someone after meeting them (virtually now) after about 10 minutes.

Hi there. I'm 50 years old and have never been married. I finally met someone who likes me a lot, but I don't think he’s my soulmate. We enjoy some of the same activities; hiking, cooking, movies, dogs, etc. Intimacy…

How do you relax and be "authentic" interacting with someone when there's so much potentially riding on it?

I want that partner who will be around until my dying day.
