Thin Walls & Loud Sex Images?1351570431 Ever been confronted by your neighbors for having loud sex?  No?  Well up until yesterday, my answer would have been the same.  Not any more!  Last Saturday night I brought a gentleman home with me  we had an enjoyable evening and then a repeat performance in the morning. But when I got out of bed, I noticed a piece of paper lying u... Read more...

What Went Wrong? Shutterstock_65110660 Laura, one of our subscribers, recently reconnected with a former crush online. After a couple months of flirtatious banter, she flew out to visit him. They spent an incredible long weekend together, doing everything that a couple would do. While she was there, he even went online and booked a ticket to fly out to see her in a few weeks...

    StealthSeductress Connecting with an ex crush is like opening a Forrest Gumps's box of chocolates...You never know what you are going to get. First look within yourself. Why would you travel to see this man? How long have you been single? Have you healed from your marriage? Now the GUY, If he wanted a real relationship, he would have come to see you. Here is my rule based on experience...never travel more than 60 miles. And really I thinking of modifying this rule to never travel at all. Second, if you had sex with him when you went to see him, this really sealed the deal as in, shut the door to a serious relationship. I mean, you see him online after how many years, fly out to see him (at your expense?) then are surprised that he doesn't respond? Well, he probably is thinking A) she comes to visit me after how many years...desperate B) She is recently divorced with two kids....She probably just wants to have a new daddy for her kids and maybe that thought terrified him. C) If you had sex, He probably is thinking....She is easy and desperate and she does this with every guy. Now the long distance factor....with all these variables why would he want to get involved with someone who seems to have a self worth issue, I mean if it were so eager to see him, a now stranger, who knows how many other men you have hanging at home, so maybe he cannot trust you. A weekend fling is a fantasy scenario. If I was you, and I've been you, think of just letting that tie go. Your feelings after a divorce are raw and hurt. Maybe take some me time and evaluate yourself because this visit seems as a symptom of loneliness. Plus, he was part of a by-gone era, the pre-mommy wife phase and you may have just been chasing a shadow, we cannot catch a shadow. Move on and don't worry about this guy. The way I see it, this is a great learning opportunity and you can vest your energies into yourself. If you change the view as to one of learning and loving yourself in the midst of rejection, stop the self talk of what "I" did wrong. Say, I put myself out there. I am making the first steps into my new life as a single mom. Give yourself time to heal and be the best you. Good luck!

    Jon W. I like this story. I think it sounds like a person who has passion, courage, and wants real experiences. I like the person in this story. Might I try and change the dynamic? Nothing went wrong, everything went right. You reconnected with a man you had a crush on for the longest time, flew out to his city to see him, spent an amazing weekend together and (I assume) had hot amazing sex. So why are you feeling desperate, unfulfilled and upset? You need to expand the way you view and experience men, sex and relationships. I thing there is a sort of ego issue here, in that if a man doesn't follow up a sexual encounter with offers and desires to invest in your life, you've been disrespected and used and now this person somehow thinks less of you. That's just social conditioning and that negative voice in your head that your mom gave you. Go back to this story, and rewrite it like its a sexy fun awesome fantasy that any woman (or man) would drool over. Then say to yourself 'I did that and it was awesome'. If you feel bold, share the experience with the man on Facebook, take a deep breath and get back to living your fun life. And next time you feel that desire for some fun exciting times with a man, you'll be more ready for it. Ciao

Is he serious or should I just move on? Shutterstock_45157963 In the past, I have always gone for older guys: three years older, two years older, seven years older... never a guy my own age.  Needless to say, I have no clue how to proceed.  It started out with him asking for my number when we first met-I like to talk and I am always looking for new people and more friends, so I figured, "why not?" ...

    StealthSeductress My interpretation of your date is this....Girl and Guy have strong sexual chemistry. Girl felt Guy's intention to get in her pants. Girl plays hard to get with her words, but told Guy she wanted him with her body. Guy knows she really wants to have sex but wont out of fear of being a one night stand. Guy keeps trying. Girl got offended. Guy feels bad and says what Girl wants to hear, hoping she might reconsider sex. Girl goes home confused. Guy goes home with Blue Balls. Once you realize it's just a game, then you can be a player. On a deeper level, so you got an older version of the young douche bags you've been dated? No It really isn't the guys age, or that all guys want sex. It is how you project yourself. It is those deep self thoughts that you are more that sex, but you don't really believe it. Make a list of your great lady qualities and say that is what guys want you for. I guess, if I am blunt...you objectify yourself. All of this talk about this guy being older and still wanting a one night stand just like the guys your age. My guess is you are sending out some signal in your actions and words....A signal something like..."I am afraid guys only want me for sex." Or something fear related. Just remember, you set your value.

Give it a try or leave My fiance and I have been through hell. We've constantly broke up and gotten back together. He cheated on me for a year and a half while I was pregnant with both of his kids. They broke up last February and we've been trying to be a family since October 2012(he now lives at the house). Grant it I've been nothing but faithful to him even if he do... Read more...

Impossible to Know Where to Start Shutterstock_50460076  I fell in love...and let myself. He and his wife were the only couple I knew that I could point out and say - what a fabulous marriage.  Then, I found out that they are only close companions or so he says, for many years, and they have not had sexual relations but he said he will stay with her.  She has told him, so he says, that she d...

An unexpected turn of events The_least_exected   I met Mr. Adorable at a friend's party. We got along really well and spent most of the night talking to each other. I didn't consider him someone I would want to date but knew that he had the personality of the type of person I'd want to be with. When we left the party, he asked where I lived and offered me a ride home even though... Read more...
What should I do? Shutterstock_66626656 I'm separated from my husband four years ago, since then I don't have any kind of relationship. Well I don't trust easy and I have the impression that everyone wants everything fast, and I just don't know how to react. I was married for eight years and confess that I don't know how to flirt anymore. I work a lot so, I don't go out with fr... Read more...

Should I go have drinks with an ex? 0cbe54c2856032f284971e6c0466aef5 I dated a guy for about 6 months, and he decided to pursue another relationship.  However, he wasn't forthright enough to tell me that he was interested in dating someone else so the dating hobbled on life support for about a month.  I finally asked him if anything was the matter and he tearfully confessed that he was falling in love wi...

Backpacks Images?q=tbn:and9gcqq7mslhqmq7ztjwdrngg95iv0gqffasmbzad5f3-kijer1x7yd I recently had a first date through OKCupid.  It was on a Friday night, around 9pm, and we were meeting at a pretty hip bar.  My date shows up dressed very casually (t-shirt) but the shocking part was that he had his backpack with him.  Also, he is not currently working. I generally thought that to be bizarre.  Possible exception if... Read more...
