Is sex a tool? So, I've been seeing this guy for a while, and seemingly out of no where he becomes terrible with communication (doesn't call me back, text etc.) I've confronted him about it and we've come to realize we have a few issues to work out.

Is love worth the risk? Even when it doesn't seem like it could work? Here's the situation: I've been seeing this guy for about 5 months, and we're both starting to get really into each other. I wouldn't say we're "in love" but I can definitely see it happening soon. The problem is that we're in two very different places in our lives. He's 11 years older than me with a daughter and a career.

What is the best way to deal with a partner you have just caught cheating?

I am 32, single for about 3 years and am completely paralyzed when it comes to taking the initative when asking a guy out. I am more positive everyday that I have an unapproachable vibe about me and know that I have got to start doing the asking or I am gonna wait forever! I am really interested in one guy in particular and would really like to ask him out but am so scared.

I've been with this guy, and for the most part I'm always the one calling him to talk or make plans. I thoroughly believe that if a guy is really interested, then he'll try to seek me out. So occasionally, I won't call him, and it'll take him a week to call me. Is this typical guy behavior, or is he just not that interested?

Is it normal for periods to take a drastic change all of a sudden? I started my period when I was 12, and I got off really lucky because I never cramped up. I never had PMS, I never ached, got bloated, or got pissy. I'm 18 now, and my period is going nuts. The cycle is totally sporadic. I've gone from 21 to 42 days in between, and the flow is actually getting lighter.

So my boyfriend and I have been going out for almost two years now. We both graduated from our high school and now we are on our way to two different colleges that are separated by several states. Since I was his first girlfriend, I wanted him to be free and experience life to the fullest before he ever got serious with me.

How do you motivate yourself to stay on a diet? I've tried, but I always seem to give up the moment the initial excitement of "omg I'm gonna look great" wears off. How do you prevent that? Anything you tell yourself or any reward systems you use? Thanks!

I'm engaged to an amazing guy, and we haven't been careful at all to prevent pregnancy. We're not trying, but we're not trying to stop it either. I'm over two weeks late for my period, and 4 days ago I took a test. It was negative. I know periods can be affected by stress and stuff like that, but should I take another test?

So I met this guy two years ago through the internet, and at first it was nothing more than someone who was easy to talk to. Well after about a year, I realized there were some feelings that had developed and he felt the same. I recently met him when he flew out to see me (I'm in Georgia), then a couple of months later I flew out to see him (he's in California).
