Adri,

I recently went back to the small town where I went to school for an extended job thing. While there, I hung out with a good friend of mine (we’ll call her S). S and I were having a drink at a bar when one of her sorority sisters joined us, a girl I [...]

Adri,
A hypothetical:
Let’s say you are an attractive female in your 20s (not so hypothetical for you). You’ve had a handful of serious relationships in your past, the most recent one which ended about half a year ago. None of them lasted more than a year, but they all got fairly intense. You always got out [...]

Adri,
So I started seeing this girl. Trying to kiss her after a couple of
dates was a little fast for her. I just about got the Heisman stff-arm from
her. Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve gotten her to open up a little:
holding my hand, I even got her to lean on me a little bit [...]

Adri,
I’m a pretty girl. I know this. I’ve been told before and I’m not seeking validation. I’m also a nice girl. People like me and think I’m funny. But, when I go out, I can’t seem to meet any men that are interested in me. They always seem to find my other friends attractive. I [...]

Adri,
Awesome to have Ask Adri back. I really missed it. I just started seeing someone last week. We spend a lot of time together even though we both work at the station, so we always end up spending late nights together after shows.
She’s really sweet, easy to talk to, not shy, but pretty quiet. We [...]

Right, so I used to be in a really good liberal arts school, developed a hard drug habit and was asked to leave. I returned home insecure and anxious about life and joined another college and things are slowly but surely working out now. I’m drug-free for the first time in years and happier than [...]

Adri, I dated a girl about six years ago. I really loved her. She was my first love, my first kiss, and the first girl I was really with (if you know what I mean). She broke up with me after a couple of months (6), because things got complicated (I know it was my [...]

Why is the sky blue?
–I’ve been wondering…

There’s a great scientific answer available if you do the google thing. Otherwise, I’ll venture that the sky is blue because the cockroaches that secretly rule the earth told it to be blue. And it was good.

I gave my number to a girl I met on Saturday night. I [...]

I’ve noticed a pattern with my relationships. They seem to last 2 1/2 years before I decide that it isn’t right for me and move on. This leaves the women heartbroken and I feel unmoved and unaffected by the whole thing. Am I incapable of actually loving someone or am I just making excuses [...]
