The Backrub: Flirting, Friendly, or Creepy?

I have several male friends who swear by the "inconspicuous, friendly backrub" as a flirtation technique. Granted, these men on average have been fairly successful with women, but I can no longer sit idly by without asking the ladies present:...

Thoughts Used To Push Myself Uphill (And The Immediate Physical Result)

In an effort to hide who I really am, I've decided to start exercising again and lose some of my joy-pounds. To do so, my primary method is tackling the quite scenic five mile hike near our house. It's a...

Q: Do you think a boy still likes you even if he pretended he never asked you out?

A: I think anyone who literally tries to retcon the real world is probably not ideal dating material. And yeah, if someone ...

Q: How much grooming is required if you are meeting a girl just to "hang out?" Could you compare and contrast this with the amount of grooming needed for a formal date?

A: I'd tell you...if I ever noticed such things. I think the tragic fact is that men notice what you're wearing or how you'...

Q: Why would you stand a woman up?

A: Because I did some Googling and found out her last eight boyfriends were found in shipping crates at the bottom of the P...

Q: My crush at work is constantly making non-harmful jokes about everyone at work, so how will I know if he seriously likes me?

A: The sad truth is, you may never know. Hey, maybe he seriously likes everyone at work. Maybe he's so full of love, he can...

Q: Do guys like a girl that plays hard to get? I hate the games but it seems you can't date a guy these days without playing them in the beginning.

A: I don't know where you're finding all these mystifying, coy dudes, but I have the sinking feeling you may be mistakenly ...

Q: At what point did you realize you wanted to marry your wife?

Q: My boyfriend of four years dumped me. Days later, we met and as I cried, he hugged me, kissed my hands and cried too, said he was deeply sorry because he still cared about me, then took me for ice cream. Hope?

A: If there's one thing long-term relationships do, it's fall apart, then get back together, then fall apart, then get back...

Q: I had a hot sex-in-the-stairwell date set up with FWB during my lunch hour today. It was his idea, then he bailed because he was "tired". Really?

A: Seems pretty straightforward to me. The guy either didn't think you'd be game for it, or chickened out once he actually ...

Q: I have a thing for muscular men. Like really muscular. But, it seems that all of the men that are my type are egotistical, self-obsessed, and overall d-bags. Are there any men that are my type who don't belong on the Jersey Shore?

A: In my experience, muscular dudes are just like any other form of human...up to a point. That point is almost perfectly r...

Q: A friend recently admitted feelings for me. I don't feel that way about him, and he said he understood, but ever since he's been following me around like a puppy. How do I get him to back off without being rude?

A: I hope this isn't a very close friend, because odds are, this is going to be painful. Realizing a platonic male friend i...

Q: If a guy gave you his number, how often should you call him?

A: I'm not going to give you a set number of times per week or anything, because every guy will be different. What I have f...

Q: I visited a friend who lives in Paris. I stayed at his house for two weeks and there was lots of flirting, hanging out, rough housing, cooking together, but no sex. We've sent gifts back and forth since I've been back. Is he interested?

A: Sounds like it. Of course Paris is a natural aphrodisiac, so there's always the chance of a false positive. But if he's ...

Q: Do guys really feel less manly when a girl kicks their butt at a video game or a sport? If so, why is this?

A: Absolutely. It's pretty hard to imagine yourself as James Bond when your girlfriend keeps shooting you in the face, or w...

Q: I have always been taught that men love sex more than anything else. Therefore, I don't really believe a man is capable of loving a woman. I just believe he loves having sex with her. Am I completely wrong?

A: Yup! Wrong as rain. Wrong as Wrigley's. Wrong wrong wrong as the day is long. Wrong-er like a dong-er. As incorrect as t...

Q: My boyfriend's been leading some of our conversations towards my proposal preferences (public or private, romantic or fun) for a few weeks. How the hell do I stay calm about this and not ruin the surprise (if there is one)?

A: Man, you "surprise people." I'll never understand liking surprises; I'm a man who would gladly read a book that laid out...

Q: My guy doesn't get hard when we make out. Does this mean he isn't that into me? Help!

Q: I love to have sex, but my boyfriend says I'm being a 'cocktease' when I fondle his parts where we can't get busy, like in a theater during previews. Yet he seems to enjoy it, and I love to touch his junk even if we can't do it right then. Should I stop?

A: Have you ever stopped to consider that the man may enjoy Previews? I love trailers, and if my wife tried to "release the...
