MY BOYFRIEND LIKES TO HAVE LOTS OF ALONE TIME. DOES THAT MEAN "HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO ME?" SHANAY, FRESHMAN
Jessica: I can tell from the fact that you're asking this that you're not OK with his alone time, which means you may not be that into him. An introvert is defined as someone who recharges by being alone, and an extrovert is someone who recharges by surrounding themselves with people in a social atmosphere. His need for time apart most likely has nothing to do with you; it's merely a matter of personality. I don't see your boyfriend revamping his personality profile any time soon, so if you can't deal with his need for space, let him know and find someone who's more comfortable spending more time with you in the limelight.
Brian: Frankly, it could mean almost anything. He might just be a very introverted person who only needs to interact with you a few times a day. He could be cheating on you and wants to avoid you at all costs. But most likely, he just likes to have some alone time every once in a while, as boring as that might be to hear. Nothing beats sitting on your couch watching Sportscenter three times in a row or playing Playstation for hours. But if he is able to get away from you for a while, it lessens the chance that he will accidentally mention how beautiful your best friend is, or how much he misses getting it on with his last girlfriend. Just relish the time that he's away from you. Stop being a selfish girl and let your boy do his own thing.

WHAT DO YOU BUY YOUR BOYFRIEND FOR VALENTINE'S DAY IF YOU'VE ONLY BEEN DATING FOUR MONTHS?GUYS ARE SO HARD TO BUY FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE,LET ALONE AFTER JUST FOUR MONTHS.
Brian: See, that's the thing, it isn't that guys are hard to buy for. Women just want to make everything more complicated. Think of what your boyfriend likes the most. Beer? Buy him an imported case so it's something special. Good music? Go out and buy him either the new Jamie Foxx or Nada Surf CD. Sex? Just buy him a box of condoms and throw in some of his favorite candy. Don't over-complicate things.
Jessica: I think guys are definitely hard to buy for. It's not like women have an onslaught of Hallmark commercials pre-V-Day to force us in the right direction. We have to rely on common sense and what we know about our guys. I like the idea of restocking his fridge/kitchen with his favorite foods while he's in class or at work. You could even throw in Brian the Boozehound's recommendation of imported beer for good measure. Try personalizing it. If he's an athlete, maybe he'll enjoy a professional massage. If he's a video game fiend, ask his friends what game to get. If he's a different kind of fiend, treat yourself and him with a gift certificate to Victoria's Secret. Let him pick what you buy.
ONCE A CHEATER ALWAYS A CHEATER CAN YOU EVER TAKE BACK SOMEONE THAT CHEATED ON YOU? IS FRIENDSHIP EVEN POSSIBLE? JENNA. SENIOR
Brian: There isn't a guy I hate more than the one who gives me a bad name. I might not even know the guy and his satiny my guys just because he cheated on the girl I'm trying to check up with. Sadly it's true that guys tend to cheat on girls more often, than girls cheat on guys. But there is some good news for everyone: a man will finally change his cheating ways once he isn't hit with the brick of enlightenment by his torture (grafted these big guys) who will cheat in every plausible they are in but a majority of
guys will realize the error of their way. Give your man a chance to redirect himself. Whether as a friend first, then as a bear or vice versa.
jessica it couldn't disagree with Brian more. Perhaps it's because I've been on the receiving end of a theater's shenanigans, and was that girl who gave him a second a third and even a fourth chance. You deserve to be with someone who doesn't make you doubt whether you're the reason or of she should be not married
say lekhim go for good, so you both have a fresh start with someone new. Odds are you'll find one who won't chest and after your ex figures himself out, he'll be ready to be faithful in a new relationship with someone else. The hard part for you will be convincing yourself that the cheating wasn't your fault (unless you were a convict, abusive bitch of a sirlfriends. As for friends, I think it's possible, but only after the hurt from the past has subsided and you've forgiven him.
