His Take

His Take questions are answered by our panel of smart, opinionated, and funny dudes. I’m curious how long it would take for two people who sorta know each other, but live on opposite sides of the country, who are into sexting each other, to finally start to get bored of it? Months? Years? They will most likely never meet, so you would think someone will get bored sending the same photo of their crotches, and trying to come up with some new ways of turning each other on, right? How long do/should sexting relationships last? — Not Bored Yet

His Take questions are answered by our panel of smart, opinionated, and funny dudes. My ex and I dated for three years and then on-and-off for another three years after that. He broke it off claiming he needed space and fell out of love with me because I drove him to the edge. (I would call his phone non-stop because he’s lied and cheated a couple times). He moved to a different city because he found a good paying job on the oil fields. We have a daughter who was only five months old at the time. He’s been in Alberta now for almost two years. I found out from his best…

His Take questions are answered by our panel of smart, opinionated, and funny dudes. About seven months ago I met this guy on Craigslist and became, well, sex buddies. Of course over the next few months, I wanted to get to know him more and start building a friendship. He agreed to it, but every time we met, it would lead to sex again, even after I told him not to look forward to it. I took a break from him and every week, he’d text me once, but I never texted back. I figured he would just seduce me into more sex.After a couple more months, he finally asked if something…

After a brief hiatus, His Take is back! Let’s see how the guys handle this one: Three years after our breakup, my ex-boyfriend found me on match.com and sent me a message. We wrote back and forth for a little bit and then we started texting over Thanksgiving. After a few weeks I got frustrated and asked him to catch up over drinks. He wrote back right away and suggested a day. We went out and had an awesome time. He walked me home and told me he really wanted to see me again. Having been hurt by him three years ago, I shrugged it off and told him to call me….

I have never had a boyfriend or dated or did anything like that — not even a fling. All through high school I watched my friends drool over boys, get chased, be chased and partake in all the normal high school romance shenanigans. It’s not that I don’t like guys — I do — but I just never saw the point of dating when I was in high school….

My boyfriend and have been dating just under a year. We’re both in our early 30s, and we’re both divorced (I have one child, he has none). We’ve been fighting recently, and one night, after a particularly frustrating exchange over the phone, I told him I thought we needed to take a step back from the relationship. I told him I was worried that our relationship styles weren’t a match and that we might not be compatible in the long run. I only half believed myself as I said it, but I was pretty frustrated. The next night he came over saying that he had to know just what “taking a step…

I just came out of my first serious relationship about six months ago and have begun dating again. Instantly, I really connected with this one guy at work. (We’re both post-grad minions, so it’s not too scandalous.) We would text ALL the time, go to dinner and movies, hang out with his mom…basically dating without dating. To make a long story short, we ended up making out after a few too many White Russians. It was great and he was very considerate. Since then, we made out two more times, but the last time (a week ago) he was much more interested in going way further than I am currently comfortable with,…

New readers, welcome to Dear Wendy, a relationship advice blog. If you don’t find the info you need in this column, please visit the Dear Wendy archives or the forums (you can even start your own thread), or submit a question for advice. I’ve been seeing this great guy for almost six months and we are officially boyfriend/girlfriend. I’ve noticed, though, that in his Instagram profile that, in addition to a few friends, he follows about 10 or so random chicks who post provocative photos of themselves, as well as and photographers who post sexy (yet tasteful) photos of women they photograph (similar to Maxim). It doesn’t really bother me that much…

When I was in college in 2006 I met a senior whom I had one class with and we ended up chatting before and exchanging numbers. However, after that he graduated neither of us bothered to pursue the friendship. Fast forward to three years ago we got in contact through a social media site and exchanged cell numbers. Since then we have developed a friendship, a serious flirtation and attraction. He told me in the start of it he did not want a relationship and I was fine with that since I was just getting out of a three-year relationship. Since we live about an hour away from each other, most of…
