Ben* has been happily married for 19 years. He recently told me the prime reason he married his wife is because, "She was the only girl I dated who could control me."I had no idea what he was talking about.

You went out with the guy. You both had a great time (or at least you thought he did!). You said goodnight, and he said he'd call you.He didn't.Why? What did you say to offend him? Was it your hair? Your clothes? Your weight?

A couple of weeks ago, I watched a Sex and the City episode, in which Charlotte, in her never-ending quest to find true love, attends a seminar to teach her how to do just that.She drags Carrie along, who scoffs at the whole thing.

You’ve been dating the man forever, and he has yet to cough up a ring. You spend every single weekend with him. You endure his flatulent buddies from college. You put up with his lunatic mother.

Oh, no! Christmas, Hanukah, and New Year’s Eve are coming, and you’re still not dating anybody.The specter of enduring gatherings with relatives who harass you because you’ve failed to hook up trounces your hopes for peace and...

Weve all been there. Weve fallen in love with somebody who just didnt love us back. Weve heard a variety of exit lines: I think its time we started seeing other people, I love you, but Im not in love with you, or Its not you. Its me.

You’ve been to the bars, you’ve answered the personals, you’ve maxed out your credit card on online dating services, and you still haven’t met the right person.

You don’t need a guitar, rock-hard abs, or even a full head of hair to make a great impression on a woman. Follow these tips, and she’ll want to hear from you again real soon:1. Go out with another woman.

Leaving an abusive relationship is difficult, but being alone can feel worse. All your happily married friends are still happily married, and here you are suddenly single. It’s a huge adjustment.

So, you’re convinced that you have zero opportunities to meet men. Are you stuck in an office all day with the same stiffs day in and day out? Have you tried singles’ dances, only to leave feeling worse than when you went in?
