So, how do you tell if a guy is just trying to get you into bed, vs. actually, really-n-truly interested in you — before hopping into the sack. (Because lemme tell you, you’re gonna find out right after, boyo.) Lynn wants to know if there are ways to tell before taking the plunge, thereby allowing [...]

Jen and her friend kinda-sorta liked the same guy. And guess what…he kinda-sorta groped them both! Huzzah! Oh…wait…huh? Yep. He got the vibe off of both of them, and decided to play mixed doubles all by himself. Or…singles vs. doubles. I don’t know tennis. I also know neither karate nor kuh-ray-zee. But no worries — [...]

A reader named Deanna, after having been peer-pressured into becoming a manslatee by her roommates (thanks roomies!), has come to the feet of the manslator with a perennial confuser: How can you tell if a guy is too shy to make a move…or just too not-likey-you enough to make a move? He’s definitely given her [...]

A reader calling herself “defensive player” has won my heart with a basketball metaphor. (Most of the time I’m not a huge sports fan, but when my beloved UConn Huskies are playing basketball, whoa nelly. Whoa nelly, indeed. Nelly, I say.) She’s wondering if her booty call is in fact just the two of them [...]

We’re back to the age-old question, “How soon is too soon?” Mimi M has just started a relationship, and he’s getting a little randy. She’s wondering if she hits the sack, if he’ll hit the road. Now, my normal advice here is not to worry too much about that. However, there is a twist here [...]

Well, miladies, I hope your V-day was either a.) sweeter than pie, or at least b.) not infuriatingly annoying! Today, we’ve got a question from frequent commenter and fellow blogger, T, who has had an on-again-off-again-now-he’s-here-now-he’s-fighting-in-Iraq sort of romance with her soldier boy. It’s been a rough ride, but he wants a chance to make [...]

(MANSLATOR’S NOTE: If you don’t like the B-word, well, you’re going to hate today’s question. And you’re REALLY going to hate the answer. Personally, I love all profanity. To me, curse words are like the children that I will never have.) Well, it’s Friday the 13th, which means it’s time for a scary one. Why [...]

LeAnn is getting mixed signals from her man. Or IS she? It’s hard to say for sure what’s going on, but I don’t really think that the signals are nearly as mixed as she thinks. Honestly, they rarely are. Here’s the scoop. Hello!I’m seeing a guy who is sending  mixed signals and playing hot-and-cold, etc…I’m [...]

A reader named NotScary is having a problem. Or rather, her fantastic new man is having a bit of a problem. Down Under. No, he’s not wanted for petty larceny in Australia. The other Down Under. When they get ready to do sex unto one another, he gets too nervous and down he goes. So [...]

We might have another resurfacing man here, folks. Or is he? Josey dated a guy for about 3 months, when he suddenly vanished. (There’s that 3 month breakup deadline again!) But he’s recently been sniffing around, sending messages. So far, no date scheduled. Should she bother with him? Has he recognized the error of his [...]
