manslations

Sara is far, far away from the guy she has just started maybe, kinda sorta seeing. In the heat of the moment, at the beginning, he said some stuff, but now he’s not so communicative online. What to make of this? Here’s an excerpt, with the main question: First he talked about us moving in [...]

Request today from Shannon, who’s been with her man for about 3 months and is looking to become exclusive. She’s been doing some research on how to go about it. Here’s the money quote from her request: I have done some searching on the internet and dating advice sites as well as discussing this with [...]

We have double-J JJenny, back for an update. Her man is busy, busy, busy, and she’s trying to decide if he’s worth the wait. Let’s see what we can do here: Hello again.  I am in need of an “updated” Manslation if possible…. I wrote in about 4 months ago about someone I’ve been dating [...]

Strange situation to start the week, folks. We’ve got a married couple, married 4 years, and he spends all kinds of time chatting with other women. Our requester, Pany, feels that this is emotional and mental cheating, and wants to know if there is any way he could really stop all of this. Let’s see [...]

A reader calling herself “Kim the Caring” was dating what seemed to be her perfect man. (Let’s call him “William the Conqueror” to keep the nomenclatures lined up properly.) At a little over 3 months — right after asking her to go on a weekend away, mind you — he lowered the boom. Dumped her. [...]

Lola used to be an expert on men (err…maybe) until she was suddenly single and forced to ask some serious questions about herself. She’s decided to 86 the young’uns and date more mature dudes. Trouble is, they keep vanishing on her! <seinfeld voice>What…is the deal…with that?!</seinfeld voice> Hi Jeff- So, I used to be an [...]

Today we will hear the tale of Janie, a young lady who is with the perfect man. His one flaw — he doesn’t think that she’s the perfect woman. Let’s see if we can’t figure out what’s going on. I have had this male friend for about 4 years now. We met by working together, [...]

A reader named Beth has reconnected with her college ex. There’s been a little back-n-forth, but mostly they haven’t been “dating” per se. But they have been phone-humping. She wants to know what’s going on. Is she being used for le sex du phone? Let’s find out. So I could give you the long version [...]

Tough situation today. Our requester is a regular reader here working under an assumed name. And by “regular” I mean she comes by here often, NOT that she poops daily. Though I hope that’s true as well, of course. Moving on, in a moment of knee-jerk-ish-ness, she broke up with a man and now wishes [...]

(Manslator’s Note: Special thanks to Ms. Boulet for teaching me how to spell “Independence.” “It’s not the Indepen-DANCE, is it?”) There will be no Manslation today. Trust me, the founding fathers would have wanted it this way. They didn’t go through all that revolution stuff just so I would have to write manslations on national [...]
