How do I get her mother to forgive me and see that I am not the same person I was?

It's still a little difficult being friends because I keep wondering if there could have been something great there.

I don't want to read more into it than just coffee.

I used to have a HUGE crush on him – before he and my friend started dating.

She stopped talking to me without giving me a reason a couple months ago.

Staying "just friends" meant I often got more of him than the many women who have come in and out of his life over the past decade.

It's obvious to me that he and I will never be friends and it's a wasted effort.

Hi Meredith, I met a man online 10 months ago. We met in person and I fell for him quickly. We ended up going on 10 dates in two weeks, but then I found out he was in an open…

Dear Meredith, I have been friends with "Joe" for about eight years. We started hooking up about two years ago, a few months after I broke up with my boyfriend (a friend of his). From the beginning, he was pretty…

A few months ago, though, this male friend texted my girlfriend some explicit messages.

I'm super frustrated, he brags all night about how much fun he's having and I'm sitting home alone and excluded.

I wasn't myself and I was sloppy, and when we met up to talk about it the next day my guy was really ticked.

His best friend is pretty much the opposite of him. He's spontaneous, emotional, and we really connect.

Hi Meredith, I have feelings for a friend from college. He's a great guy, works hard, and is definitely a catch. I've known him for six years. Two problems: he's a core part of my main friend group in the…

She sent him pictures of food she cooks (which he later told me were for him). And then there were fart jokes.

Am I wrong for worrying about this and wondering why we can't go out together like other couples?

And most importantly, he's the kind of guy I see myself growing old with – and to me there makes no point in going out to look for someone like him when he's right there right in front of me.

What does it mean that he seemed genuine while drunk and not just beer-goggled-flirty?

He really only talks to one of our friends and that's only because he works with him.

I feel insanely jealous sometimes. Though the thought of him not being in my life also makes me very sad.

We care deeply for each other and I see a very likely happy future for us. However, he is in a place where he is focusing on the now.

She and my boyfriend were the closest people in my life, but now they're both gone.

I told him that I don't think we are on the same page and that we should stop seeing each other.

It is unclear whether or not there were extra-marital shenanigans prior to the divorce.

At first we would talk more about life, but that was probably to keep me around.
