Remember eighth-grade science lab, when you mixed a little of this with a
little of that to come up with who knows what? Dating is like that -- one
continuous experiment. You mix a little of your personality, needs, and goals

"I think I've found someone who interests me. He lives about 100 miles
from me. I have teenage daughters who would not relocate for anything. How

50 miles of his home. How do I handle this distance between our homes?"
Dating Advice

it comes to him and other potential women. Do you have
any tips for building trust before I lose what could be the best thing ever?
Dating Advice
"I would love to go out more often but find myself feeling guilty all the
time because maybe I should be with my children. I am with them everyday.
Also, I'm getting a lot of hostile remarks about dating from my ex. What should
I do?
Dating Advice
"I have five children and seem to attract the same type of men (the abusive/possessive
type). I dated people who I thought were friends, but turned out not to be.
I'm looking for a friend first. Then we'll see what happens next. However,
when I do meet someone, they always think I'm looking for a dad for my children.
How do I change the type of man I attract?
