"I think it's getting in the way of me wanting to date other people."

Do I just swallow the whole thing and do nothing?

I'm 22. I got along really well with a friend of mine, and eventually we liked each other as more than friends. We dated, but after a bit she got bored of the relationship and broke up with me, but…

I knew from the beginning he has a female best friend and was comfortable with this, but I keep learning new information that makes me uncomfortable.

At the end of the semester, he told me that he liked me but agreed that he didn't want to do long-distance or have a serious relationship at this point.

I am trying to take each day as it comes, however, I feel like I am waiting for the shoe to drop. Like he will realize he just needs time by himself to be single and figure out ...whatever.

I've voiced my concerns several times in the last six months only to get pushback from my husband.

This happened about a half a year before my girlfriend and I met. I

Dear Meredith, Is it reasonable to decline to go to a sibling-in-law's wedding? Let me clarify that this is all speculation; I'm not married yet or planning to get married. I've been with my partner for more than five years…

My best friend's older brother got my contact information and has made comments about a possible “us” in the future.

People will constantly mistaken us for a couple and it's tough to hear because I do feel like I've never been able to connect to anyone else like I have with him.

How do we bridge the gap between friends and friends who kiss?

My boyfriend and I used to go to the gym together. But when we would get inside, he'd start causing fights, saying he doesn't want me to even be at the same gym as him – saying "I distract him."…

I'm also worried my family and others will have the same reaction as my best friend, which would not only make me feel bad, but my boyfriend, as well.

I'm not stupid and I don't want to jeopardize a friendship I value a lot by changing the dynamic.

Do you have any tips for getting more comfortable with ambiguity?

When my girlfriend told me that she doesn't want to come over anymore, I was heartbroken.

I listen, I empathize, sometimes offer advice, but rarely suggest a course of action.

Recently I broke it off with someone after four years because I felt the person (even through I love him to death) would never grow up.

My crush and I have had our fair share of "accidental moments" while playing sports together – like me tripping right into his arms ...

I've probably been on one to four dates with 30 or so women.

I am hoping you will be able to offer some tips and wisdom on how to “cool my jets.”

I have the best time when I'm with him, but it's hard not to imagine how life would be different if we weren't together.

He seems to drift in whenever we are closer geographically, or recently because COVID has everyone a little more bored than usual.

I feel like each of them has a hold on each of my arms and they're constantly pulling me in each direction.
