Men and “The Hunt” Explained

I get lots of letters about all sorts of dating, sex and relationship problems every day. It’s interesting that they so often fall into clearly defined categories. One of the most common comes from women that follow various prescribed paths only to find that they prevent or destroy their relationships. The majority of these paths seem to come from what I call “mass-think". More specifically, these are ideas... (posted by Dr. Dennis 1 year 92 days ago.)
Am I in the Friend Zone?

Doc: I met this girl about 2 months ago in a college class. She actually seemed to show interest in me. I don’t know what her intentions were. She began by smiling at me in the library one day.

Here's why: 1) What's the difference between some girl that plays these games and a girl that is simply not interested... (posted by Dr. Dennis 1 year 246 days ago.)
“Mentally Managing” Wife’s Celibacy

Dr. Neder: How can I mentally-manage my wife's choice of celibacy? ============================== Hello! I don't know what you mean by "mentally manage celibacy", but frankly, that's not the issue at all anyway! Your wife doesn't have the right to be celibate! If she wanted celibacy, she should have never married you! If she needs celibacy for some medical reason (and it's temporary) that's one... (posted by Dr. Dennis 1 year 337 days ago.)
