When Do Guys Want to Get Married?

Cindy asks: When do guys want to get married? I’ve always asked guys how they feel about marriage. They all say they want to get married … until we start to get serious and then they break up. My last boyfriend told me that he DID want to get married, but first he wanted to date lots of women. Are all guys this nuts? The quick answer is: A guy wants to get married when he realizes he’s with someone he trusts, loves, admires, respects, and with whom he wants to share his life. Your question, Cindy, is really this one: […]

Working Too Hard (Or Not) at Finding Mr. Right

Katie says that her married friends sometimes criticize her for not devoting enough time to searching for her future husband. They say that she’s too focused on her career and doesn’t make time for getting out, meeting men, and dating. They want her to be happy, so they pressure her to find a man.

Women: 10 Mistakes to Avoid on First Dates

He’s Too Good To Be True: Reality Or Fiction?

“I was so blinded to the fact that he’s too good to be true,” wrote Ann in her comment. “He may be perfect but only at times when we’re together, but when we’re not… he’s no where to be found.” To Ann, this guy is wonderful. No doubt he’s good looking, charming, and good in bed. Maybe he has a great job, maybe he’s smart. He’s probably not a guy with a criminal past, and maybe he donates to charity. All of that looks and sounds good, but it in no way translates to perfection as a man. Because there’s […]

I have little time or energy to hang around the traditional hunting grounds and I’m not sure about dating services. What do you suggest?  – Marci I don’t often write columns directed to one gender but today I decided to make an exception because I believe that today’s woman faces unique challenges in the search for a mate, especially if she is a person of intelligence and depth.
