Should I Break Up Before or After the Holidays?
Q: Should I wait until after New Year's to break up or just go through the holidays together and then end it?
It's kinder to break up before the holidays so they can process it surrounded by family and friends, instead of after when they have to face loneliness.
How to Answer ‘Why Are You Still Single?’
Q: How do I respond yet deflect?
Try responding with something like, 'I'm having fun just waiting for the right fit. Let me know if you have someone for me.'
Did Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Win Halloween?
Q: If I'm dressing up with my boyfriend, should I still be aiming for a hot girl costume?

How To Date Someone Outside Your Faith
Q: How do I manage my parents' expectations about dating someone who isn't the same religion while still pursuing modern dating on my own terms?
It's important to communicate with your parents to understand their concerns and to simplify your own feelings about dating. Their opinions might not be as important as your own happiness.
When Is the Right Time to Share Your Number?
Q: If a guy doesn't ask for your number after a date, should you be worried about it?
It could mean he didn't think of it or that he wants to keep things casual. You might need to communicate your boundaries more openly.
