Are You Dating A Jerk?

Heather Muse at LemonDrop:

It can be tough to tell whether the guy you’re dating is just going through a tough time or if he’s a bona fide d-bag. Who can you turn to? Your friends are biased, and your shrink dumped you when you lost your insurance.

Fortunately, we enlisted real-live Jackass Steve-O to give you the reality check based on how you describe your relationship.

I guess it’s nice to have one handy when these kind of questions come up.

A relationship title is hard to tie down

A question for Carolyn Hax:

Dear Carolyn: “Jeff” and I have been dating for more than a year and are both in our 30s. Recently, we visited his family and his parents introduced me to several people as “Jeff’s friend.” Jeff said his parents may think “boyfriend” and “girlfriend” are more appropriate for teens, but we both consider each other much more than simply a friend. So, is there a socially acceptable alternative we could use? “Friend” seems too casual and we are definitely not “partners”!

Are Nice Guys a Dying Breed?

by Dr. Dennis W. Neder

Do women even want a nice guy anymore?

I’ve been a nice guy all my life. Upbringing taught me to be nice to everyone. I open doors for women, compliment them, laugh with them, do nice things for them such as favors and such. What do I get in return? “You’re so sweet and thoughtful….” I HATE that phrase!

Dating Relationship – You Like Your Date But Hate Their Friends

by Daryl Campbell

By Lucia Demas

Have you ever started to date someone, begun to have feelings for them and then found out that they still hadn’t gotten over their ex? Few things in the dating world are more annoying than the “Ex-factor”. If someone is not over their ex, no matter how hot, sexy, intelligent and sweet you are, it won’t matter, because they are not in a position to appreciate it at the moment. They are living in the past. You are competing with someone they have a history with, who knows them a lot better than you do and who they share a lot of good memories with.

Why Your Date Hates Your Ex

by Daryl Campbell

Your date is giving it every ounce of effort but you are really making it difficult for them. They understand to a point but you crossed that point a long ways back.
