Sex, Lies & a Very Drunk Co-Worker

Dear Dating Mom:

I’ve been with my boyfriend for close to two years. About eight months ago, I had a one-night stand with my co-worker. We were at an office party and both of us got pretty drunk. Never before nor since then have I ever been with another man, but a friend said I owe it to my boyfriend to tell him. I disagree, because I would never do it again.

Signed,

One Night Only

Dear One Night Only:

My first question would be, what good does it do? Well, for you, it releases the burden of your guilt, to be sure, but that would be like carrying a 1,000-pound weight and asking him to hang on to it, you know, just for like, forever. Sure, your load would be a lot lighter, but what about his?

Dear Dating Mom:

I’m dating a woman who used to be a phone sex worker. Now every time we are together and she talks dirty to me, I feel like she isn’t being sincere because she has said it so many times to so many different men. She says I shouldn’t think like that but I can’t help it.

Signed,

You talking to ME?

Dear You Talking to ME?:

Is Tweeting Cheating?

Dear Dating Mom:

My BF is following all these sexy women on Twitter that he doesn’t even know. It bothers me. He says it’s no big deal, but I feel like he is flirting. Should I be worried? These women are all blonde with light eyes while I’m a brunette with brown eyes, so I’m wondering if I’m not his really his type and if so should I just end the relationship now?

Is It Time to Move On?

Dear Is it Time to Move On:

Well, let’s see. Is he tweeting things like, “What are you wearing right now?” or stuff more like, “So what do YOU think of nationalized healthcare?”

winking womanDear Dating Mom:

I’ve been using this “wink” feature on this online dating site. Problem is I never hear back from the men I send them to. What am I doing wrong?

I’m just asking for a reply not a ring.

Dear I’m just asking for a reply:

I’ve used that winking feature before and sadly, I got the same response, which is to say no response.

The guy I'm dating is great in every possible way -- EXCEPT for the sex! What do I do?

Horny But Happy Sort Of

Dear Horny But Happy Sort Of:

The answer to this question depends on who is doing the asking. How old are you? How old is he? Are you at a point in your life where sex isn’t nearly as important as the fact that he is the only man in your group of friends whose family still lets him keep his car keys?
