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, On a month and a half ago I hooked up with a guy I met at the party I went to.  We had a few mutual friends, but had never met.  The next morning we exchanged numbers awkwardly and I never expected to hear from him again.  We texted a few times that week and then nothing. [...]

Dear Adri, I cannot seem to get over my ex. We had a pretty great relationship, except of course for a few issues, which started as minor but then grew to insurmountable. He has cut off all communication, which makes it very difficult to process closure (and also not to feel like I’ve literally lost a limb). Hence [...]

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 [...]

I am inexplicably infatuated with a good friend of mine. I’m pretty sure she knows but has yet to make an issue of it nor run off. I have no intentions of pursuing a relationship or making a play to woo her. I would like to maintain the friendship without straining things, how do I [...]

do you have non-trite advice for moving on? I was with my boyfriend for 4 years when he starting hooking up with someone else. He came back to me about 18 mos later. now, a year later, he dumped me again for her. Normally I love women, but this bitch is pissing me off. I [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

07/24/2006 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 [...]

06/30/2006 “Reb Lobster”… Donut Snickerdoodle. 06/29/2006 Are long distance relationships worth it?. –FINE Maybe. It really depends on you. If you’re totally in love and there’s a committment toward a common future, then yes. If it’s because you are scared of meeting other people and are comfortable in what you are doing now, and you’re [...]

Where are the snowdens of yesteryear? –Yossarian They all died in pointless wars designed to purge a generation of innocence and create instead an army of cynical hardcore emotives on myspace . I really like a friend of mine and would enjoy to engage in a relationship beyond what we have now, but I’m moving [...]

I’ve known this girl I like for a while, and I want to tell her I’m crazy about her. We’re really close, and one thing I know about her (because she’s admitted to it) is that she loves what she can’t have. As soon as she’s got it, she doesn’t want it anymore. If …

I recently started taking anti-depressants. I’m glad that I’m on them, and am egarly anticipating the positive effects (takes a few weeks). I’m comfortable with the fact that I need them right now, and have had some helpful support from careing friends. To help tide me over untill they start to kick in and …

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 …
