I’m a 45-year-old attractive and accomplished divorced woman, a physician, and have children. Other than my marriage, I’ve had one relationship that lasted more than a year and felt healthy and blissful – until a friend sent me a photo…

Six-months after meeting this amazing woman at an event, I asked her to marry me. A year later, she broke off the engagement. That was a few years ago. We met when I was in my mid-50s and she was…

Dear Meredith, Over two decades ago, a man I loved very much ended our relationship. I was pretty devastated at the time, but life carried on. I've always remembered him fondly. Almost a year ago, this same man found me…

Dear Meredith, Just now I read the letter someone wrote to you about suddenly realizing they might be in love with their friend. Presumably their friend is single, which makes things much less complicated. Because while I totally identified with…

Dear Meredith, I’ve been Caspered. On a dating app, I made an instant and valued connection with an amazing young lady. She's normally very cautious to proceed through the progression of steps in an online relationship. But we hit it…

There are so many more amazing women in the world than men.

I was married for 10 years. We had two kids and all was well on the surface, but I wasn't happy. We were so broke, and my husband wasn't even trying. I thought I could live on my own and…

A question on etiquette for online dating.

Let me first say that my dating history is very bare. I can't get a guy's interest, and when I do, he ghosts me in a pretty short period. I met "Dave" about two years ago through a dating app.…

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…

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

I'll get dressed up and go out, but men never approach me or flirt with me.

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 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…

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

I'm in my early 40s and met this amazing guy. The relationship took off immediately. I adored him. He broke up with me, though, for putting pressure on him to have a child. He wants kids too, and I felt…

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…

When it comes to the nicer human beings, I have a difficult time viewing them as attractive.

I am 40 and have the worst luck with men. It's probably not as bad as I see it, but I am so discouraged by the caliber of men I meet. I want a good man, not young-minded male who…

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…
