Living Now

Dear Miss U,
So I’m very nervous about my girlfriend coming up in 53 days. We are both parents and agreed to stay in a hotel (I’m a single father and nobody but my mother, whom I currently assist, can help watch my son) and not have kids apart of this first visit… What are some tips we could use to calm our nerves? To make meeting seem less nerve racking… [read more]

You Can’t Know Unless You Try

Dear Miss U,
So, 2 years ago, I fell in love with this guy who was more than a thousand miles away. We loved each other by a lot but my parents never liked the idea of me dating anyone because they believed that my education was more important, so we kept our relationship a secret from everyone.

Will I ever get him back? [read more]

He would take me out to dinner and a movie, or bowling, or mini golfing, or we would lay in my bed at watch movies and cuddle all day… [read more]

Lovers and Fighters

In the beginning, he used to say really cute things to me, and he wanted to FaceTime almost every night and call. He still texts me every morning, but he seems more interested in making sure he gets to Skype his buddies at night than me. I’m always the one calling or sending FaceTime/Skype invites. I get insecure very easily, and I don’t want that to affect our relationship, but… [read more]
