To Call or Not To Call….
Thursday, July 29th, 2010Dear English Gentleman,
I’ve been talking to this guy, and usually he’d be the first to contact me. And he used to complain about him always being the first to contact me, and how he thinks I don’t want to talk to him. But now he plays this little game where he won’t contact me at [...]

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010Dear English Gentleman,
I am in my early 20s, and have been with my guy since I was 18 – he was 26 when we met. Do you think that age/maturity affects a person’s perspective on love? If yes, how so? Did you love differently as a teenager than you did as an adult? Do you [...]
Silent on the Line

I am afraid to say that I will have to give you the answer which I am quite sure you have heard many times before (and will hear many times hence), from any number of people. The answer is: you’ll know. You will just know. I [...]
The Elusive Art of the Romantic Dinner
Friday, July 2nd, 2010Dear English Gentleman,
My girlfriend’s birthday is coming up and I’d like to do something special for her. Usually, like a good boyfriend and gentleman, I take her out to a concert or a movie and then dinner at a restaurant, but this time I’d like to show her what an awesome boyfriend I am by [...]
