I met this girl quite a few years ago. At the time, she liked me but I wasn't really interested in her and was dating someone else. We then became good friends. However, we both drifted apart while we moved and dated other people. We've now come into contact again (we are both single) and now I like her. Not sure what to do and whether our rekindling is because of our friendship or our mutual...

I met this girl and everything seemed great. One night we went out for a drink and the chemistry was going fine, but then when I went for the kiss, she rejected it. I never expected this outcome since we were having such a good vibe.
A couple days later I text her and she tells me she only wants to be friends. Then I decide to ease off, cutting all communication with her for a couple weeks. Last...

Reader Question:
I started developing feelings toward one of my close friends. I'm the president of my club in college and he's my vice president. However, I can't help feeling the way I do toward him.

He is a bit younger and I know it may be awkward if I say anything....

Reader Question:
I have been seeing this woman for about three months and so far it’s been platonic — aside from holding hands and warm embraces. We had a great discussion recently about where we are heading. We both enjoy being together. She has also confided in me about a sister who recently passed away from cancer. I'm interested in moving the relationship forward. She's been divorced for a little over a year. I...
