These many months have been bleak and lonely without you!<br />Second--I'd like to add a teeny, tiny comment to your advice this time around. I totally agree that the female in question needs to have 'the talk' with 'the guy'. BUT! I spent years having the talk incorrectly and want to share my advice for the best way us girls can have this talk. <br />Do not begin the talk with any sort of demand that you get to call the guy 'boyfriend', that you want a commitment from him, that he cannot see other people... you get the drill. (Perhaps, DW, you can explain why men inexplicably recoil from the 'boyfriend'?)<br /> Instead, try this approach: Say something along the lines of 'So, what are your thoughts on me seeing other guys? I'm just curious. Would it bother you if I did?'. Then stop talking. I'm serious. I don't care if the guy hangs up the phone, has to go to the can, or claims he late for his enema. Leave the ball in his court and wait. <br />If the guy is into you, he will eventually get all broken up and beg you not to ever show your boobies to anyone but him and have his very own idea that HE should also abstain from seeing other people and can he please have a commitment from you?<br />For me this has a %99 success rate. One guy-a real bachelor type-even picked me flowers and gifted them to me along with a heart felt request that I be his girlfriend. Also, my current husband still thinks our whole commitment thing was his idea--7 months after I had this talk with him, he proposed.<br />Well. Sorry to be long winded! But try it my way, I swear it works!San Fran Girlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207428611426906448.post-27370885457471101332010-01-13T06:13:01.116-08:002010-01-13T06:13:01.116-08:00I'm so glad you're back!

I was hoping to have students read your blog next time I teach my college seminar on relationships and I'm glad to see your back in action. I think you give better relationship advice than any syndicated columnist I've seen.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031172177984316299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207428611426906448.post-31006601052874934532010-01-11T20:43:40.347-08:002010-01-11T20:43:40.347-08:00Let me add to the congrats on returning to the blo...Let me add to the congrats on returning to the blog . . . glad to know that the world is safe for confused girls once more.
