Dear Karen, I just read something about the “100 Hour Rule” in an article, which basically said that you should wait until you’ve spent 100 hours with someone before you have sex. What do you think about that? – Stacey, RI Hi, Stacey, Although I haven’t heard of this...
Dear Karen, I think I’ve made a mistake, and I would love your help. I’ve been out with a man a couple of times (I’m really attracted to him), and the other night, we went farther than I think I was comfortable with. I guess I got caught up in the moment. Now I’m...
Hi Karen, I’ve been dating my boyfriend for two years, and when we started dating we were both on the same page about marriage (we both want it). I’m feeling really frustrated because he hasn’t proposed yet, even though I’ve been reminding him that it’s been two...

Dear Karen, I went on a date with a man I thought was nice, and I would like to see him again. You may be wondering what the problem is. Well, he kissed me, and I wasn’t ready for that yet. How should I handle this in the future? - Sarah Dear Sarah, What a juicy...
Dear Karen, I’ve been dating the most wonderful, kind, sweet, sincere man I’ve ever met. We’re getting close to being intimate – I know we’re ready for it on so many levels, but I have a huge problem: how do I bring up the topic of having safe sex without hurting his...
Hi Karen, I recently accepted a date with a man I met on Match.com who was not a good match for me because of his age (57), but I decided to go out with him anyway. When he asked me out for a 2nd date, I said yes - mostly because I didn't know how to say no (in...
Dear Karen, I know a lot of people are feeling scared these days. My question is this: I am out there dating, and want to end up in a really great relationship - one that lasts. With everyone in such a down mood, how is this ever going to work? Should I just wait...
Dear Karen, I’m confused with how to date. I've heard so many different things through media, and through girlfriends. Because she didn’t approve of the way I was dating, my mother gave me the book, "The Rules". I buried myself in this book at the age of 22. I'm now...
Dear Karen, I’ve recently connected with a man on Match.com, and I think we could be a good fit. The problem? He won’t get off his butt and suggest we get together! This guy just wants to email back and forth, which is driving me nuts. Is he just too much of a...
If you're online dating, this is one thing that you do NOT want to do (no matter who else is doing it). You want to be building a foundation based on trust and honesty, and lying - about anything - is not supportive of that end goal at all.
Dear Karen, I am in love with a man I want to be with so badly. He’s the best guy I’ve ever been with (and I’ve known many). He’s not completely done with his divorce, and it’s pretty ugly between them right now. They’ve got kids they’re fighting over, and they...
Hi, Karen, I met a man on Match.com last year, after a very long “man drought”. He was so sweet, he loves to dance - which is very important to me - and he was really into me…he “hit me like a ton of bricks”! Here’s my problem: he lives in Georgia six months out of...
Karen, I’ve met a man I am pretty excited about – I’ve dated SO many men over the last few years, and he seems to have everything I’m looking for. That’s the great news. Now, the one little “red flag”, which is why I’m writing, is that he’s in his early 50s, and has...
Dear Karen, I’ve been dating a man for the past couple of months, and I’m crazy about him. I’ve never connected with someone so well, or so deeply. My only issue is that he’s told me that he is not interested in being in a committed relationship (he’s just gotten...

Hello Karen, I have a quick question: I’ve just gotten back into the dating “scene” after many years of being in a relationship. What’s the deal with paying on dates? Thanks for any guidance you can offer. – Judy, NJ Hi, Judy, What a great question to get cleared...
