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.

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.

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…

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?
