Courting vs. dating…Is courting dead? Courting needs to make a comeback because too many men press for sexual intimacy with a woman they know little to nothing about while avoiding commitment and marriage.
The first thing some men do after talking on the phone a time or two is press for an invitation to a woman’s home. Their idea of a date is spending time together relaxing on your couch… in close proximity to the bedroom. A “no, I don’t know you well enough yet” response may cause such a man to press even harder or become downright irritated at your refusal to give him what he wants. What is behind this increasingly common behavior pattern, and what should women do to counter it?
I know I’m stupid but I forgive him every time he calls and explains how hard it is on him to be without me in his life. How can I know if he’s using me for sex?

Women write the “Dear Ms. HeartBeat” advice column frequently, seeking help understanding why their latest “relationship” went sour.

However, texting is not and never will be a replacement for a heart-felt telephone conversation full of sighs and laughter. Here are 10 great guidelines to texting if you are a dating single over the age of 35.
Traditional thinking promotes commitment, fidelity and love as mandatory components to a romantic relationship. Does such thinking make sense in our current society? Is it really necessary to have and to hold until death do you part? Can’t a single woman enjoy guilt-free pleasure with a man, get up, and leave further expectations on the pillow?
I hate texting. A few months ago I met a guy that seemed really cool. Tall, good looking, single father raising his daughter, well educated, with a great family and job. We went out on one lunch date, then talked on the phone a few times. He was wonderful face to face and fine [...]
