• Well, outright 'lying' is never good, but people do tend to put their best foot forward, especially at the start. That's why it's best to give yourself time to really get to know each other before making a commitment! SEE MORE

• Hello...It sounds like there are a couple things going on for you. It sounds like you don't like the present he's chosen for you. As a Mars Venus coach, I can tell you that appreciation is one of the primary needs that guys have, so even if you don't like the present itself, you may want to let him give it to you anyway. Even if you don't like the gift itself, you can always appreciate the fact that he took the time to think of you in advance and order it. In the future, you can always let him know a few different gifts that would make you happy. I know we'd like to have our men buy us perfect gifts, but we're much more likely to get what we want when we ask. As for your concern about being jealous, are you feeling that way because you checked his email or is there another reason? SEE MORE

• As a Mars Venus relationship coach, I've talked with many people who are dealing with LDRs. The thing to know here is that the passion for the relationship will ebb and flow depending on how close you are and how often you feel like your partner is making the effort to remain close to you. For women, our desire to be close and intimate is dependent on getting our needs met from a man. When men do things for us like email for no reason, or spontaneously call, text or IM to see how we are, it helps to increase our attraction in the relationship. But when our needs are not being met, for whatever reason, our attraction diminishes. So in long distance relationships it’s critical that couples focus on ways to maintain that attraction to each other while also dealing with the pain and disappointment of being apart. There are lots of little things you can do to pass the time, but the ultimate question will be how can you be in the same city. If you feel your connection start to wane....give your partner the benefit of the doubt, and remember that he’s having a hard time too. Try to remain positive and happy when he contacts you, without grilling him. Men feel most attracted to a woman's positive energy and can quickly withdraw and back away if they sense too much unhappiness coming their way. So keep busy doing things to make yourself happy, so you're not dwelling too much on feeling upset that you’re apart. It will also give you lots of good things to discuss when you do get to spend time together (either virtually or in reality). SEE MORE

Oh, there are just too many stories to share! Actually, I've been married for 35 years and I don't think any of those other guys would have even come close to being as great as my husband has been.

Great article, Pam! Just wanted to share with you that we always tack on the additional phrase "in bed" to all our fortune cookie messages, which generally makes them quite humorous. However, in this instance with your message "Turn off your cell phone before a romantic evening IN BED" makes your article even more appropriate! :-)

This is a wonderful story, Liz...and a rare one. Most guys aren't so willing to wait too long and many girls are looking for love in all the wrong places! I think a lot of it has to do with family and upbringing and usually (as you mentioned) religious values. I personally did not recommend abstinence for my own daughters because I did not want them to marry just so they wouldn't feel guilty having sex. I offered them full access to birth control and all the facts. Although one is happily married now at 31, the other one is single at 28...and I still don't have grandkids! At this point, I sometimes wonder if it would have been better to make sex 'naughty' so they would have done it young and behind my back...but I'd have those grandbabies! --Just kidding ;-) of course (??)
