Dating a Man-Child: Can a Booty-Call Relationship Evolve into a Serious Commitment?

Dear Zuri:

Earlier this month I went out clubbing with my friends and ended up kissing a guy. We exchanged phone numbers and met again at a club the following weekend. He called me afterwards to meet again for drinks, but I didn’t want this to end up being a hooking up based relationship so I asked him to meet for coffee instead. We had a great time and he asked me if he could see me again. Each time we would speak he never offered something to do, so I took it upon myself to organize the dates. I planned a date that consisted of going to an art gallery (free) and later a walk through a park (free) to show him there is such a thing as an economical date.

Is a Guy Suffering from Emotional Impotence Worth Waiting For?

Dear Zuri:

M used to be my boss a few years ago when he was going through a very nasty divorce. I quit and had no contact with him until 9 months ago when he just walked up and began kissing me at his Pub. We began dating and became exclusive immediately. After 4 months, we had a blow up and broke up. A month later, he emailed me inviting me over for wine and we got back together. A few weeks later we broke up again over miscommunication. A month after that we reconnected but decided to take things slow, mostly due to him being extremely stressed about his failing business, investments and his father’s health. He didn’t know it at the time, but he was suffering from depression.

Getting Out of the Drama Cycle and Healing the Heart for New Romantic Adventures

Dear Zuri:

My ex and I had a bad breakup. Until now we had not contacted each other for about 11 months, though we did bump into each other during March as we were in the same college. So I would like to know if she will come back to renew the friendship and if there is also a possibility to reunite in the future. She is already in another relationship but still I can’t seem to let go of her. Thanks…

If You Love Someone, Do You Risk Setting Them Free?

Dear Zuri:

My year and a half relationship with my girlfriend just ended about 2 months ago and deep down I still do have feelings for her. She has told me the same but I’m very skeptical on us getting back together. I never was in love with a girl more than I was with her and we had even talked about marriage and kids. But unfortunately, I guess we just drifted apart the last few months and she started has new group of friends now that I would have never pictured her hanging out with in the first place. I believe she is talking with someone else now too.

Cutting Through the Illusions of an Affair with a Drug Addict

Dear Zuri:

S and I were involved in an affair that has lasted over three years. Although we resisted the attraction for a long time, it happened. His marriage with his wife has been in trouble long before I came on the scene. His wife found out about us just over two years ago and has gone back and forth between taking him back and ending it.
