Meeting his friends is almost as stressful as meeting his family and some might say even more important. Most men don’t see their family as frequently as they see their buddies. So, connecting with his friends in a positive way will have a bigger day-to-day impact on your relationship than connecting with his family. Although, obviously both are major when it comes to a successful relationship. So, how do you make sure that it’s a win when you meet his friends? Read more
The biggest question I get from random women who see me and stop me for advice is “How do I know if he’s interested in me?” Seriously, I get versions of this all the time in person on the street, on social media and from my female clients. And while there are a lot of gray areas when it comes to love and dating, this isn’t one of them. I have very black and white views when it comes to figuring out if a dude is interested and I’m not shy about sharing them. (Big surprise, I know.) Read more
I was watching the Shahs of Sunset reunion—yes, I’m that far behind on my TV! It’s been a busy summer!—and Asa was taking a lot of shit for keeping her relationship off camera. Even though they were pushing her on it, the entire cast did agree that her relationship was going to last the longest out of all of theirs because she was keeping it private. That got me thinking about how sometimes secret relationships are the best relationships. When it comes to happiness in a relationship, it’s now about how happy you seem to everyone else. It’s about how happy you actually are. Read more
Dear Emily,
I have been with my boyfriend for 4 years, and love him to bits. He's great! The only thing that kinda gets me down is that he doesn't last as long as he used to. He says that he's just too turned on, which I guess I understand, but he doesn't try to help me finish. What can I do to help him last longer? And how can I get him to understand that he should be helping ME orgasm too, not rolling over and passing out? Read more
Dear Emily,
About 5 years ago, I had a casual sex relationship with a man and it was the best sex I’ve ever had. We went on a few dates, but there was no intellectual connection. And that was fine, since neither of us were looking for anything serious.
Fast forward to now: I broke up with my boyfriend about a month and a half ago and recently texted my old booty-call asking if he is single. He is, but he mentioned that he is looking to change that. Now, I know we don’t have a connection, we will never have a relationship and we’ve both said we’re over the casual sex thing. However, I haven't been physically satisfied for over five years with anyone except for him. Read more
Waiting for the phone to ring or your text notification to sound or your SnapChat to snip (or whatever SnapChat actually does) is a crappy feeling. You feel helpless and forgotten. Or, at least, I do. I absolutely hate waiting by my phone. It’s the absolute worst part of dating and I’m so over it. Because I feel so much frustration and loneliness when I wait by my phone for a man to call me, I thought it could be helpful to people out there to let you know how I cope. Here’s how. Read more
