manslations

Very kind request on behalf of our requester’s pal today. Diane has a friend (and no, it doesn’t sound like one of those questions where, “See, I have this ‘friend’ who is someone who is definitely NOT me, lordy no!”, etc.) who needs a hand. Or Diane thinks she does. It seems that this friend [...]

Strange situation. Two people spending every weekend together for months, sleeping in the same bed, she’s giving him the green light, but no sex. And he introduces her as a “friend he’s seeing, but is seeing other people.” What the hey? The text of this one is a little dense, so I’ll pull a few [...]

Ingrid met a man online, and things seemed fine. She wanted to meet up, but he begged off. What’s the story here? And how long would be a reasonable amount of time to wait? Let’s see what we can figure out here: Jeff, I’m a big fan of Manslations and the great advice you give [...]

Interesting behavior on this one — we’ve got two people who are soon to be back in the same town after some time apart. As the time draws nigh (pretty literary, huh? Nigh? Huh? Huh, people?) he brings up his…non-girlfriend. Wha? Why do that? I think I know. We met last summer when we interned [...]

Let’s kick off the week with the age-old question. The guy’s hanging around, but he’s not making a move. What’s happening here? Is it just pals-only forever, or what? Let’s find out: Hi there, I have a question for you. I’ve known “Jeff” for about a year and a half and I’ve had a secret [...]

Our situation o’ the day is as mystifying as it is common. The sudden — and seemingly out of nowhere — breakup. 4 years, everything seems fine, and then boom. So…wha happa? Lylie wants to know. I think I can help. Let’s see what’s going on first: Hello, My boyfriend of four years has just [...]

Well, we’ve got a disappointed manslatee on our hands. No Time to Lose (from this post about asking a man out) asked a dude out…and it turns out he has a girlfriend. But he was being so flirty? She wants to know, what gives? Do men just like to tease and flirt? Let’s see what’s [...]

Well, I’ve been considering handing out awards for “Most meticulous request in the field of describing interaction between two people” and I think this one is it. Holy moly. And yet, with all the information given, I can’t find a problem with their relationship. And by that, I mean, I can’t find a relationship. It’s [...]

Great request here from Janay, who was a victim of the ol’ Anger Smokescreen. And then, once she dumped the practitioner of said screen, he told her about some of the other ladies he had been seeing. Why would he do it? And what should she do about it? Let’s take a look: A girlfriend [...]

A reader named Kiera can’t decide if she should stick it out with this guy. There are some red flags, some abandonment issues — all the makin’s of a dramatic and thrilling manslations request. Let’s see if we can’t help ol’ Kiera figure this one out, shall we? Ok, I am not sure where to [...]
