Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Thursday, January 19th, 2012Dear English Gentleman,
My boyfriend was the sweetest guy in the world when I met and started dating him. He bought me roses, planned beautiful romantic dates, told me he loved me and most importantly, showed me he did with his kind, gentle actions. A few months ago, however, it’s like he suddenly turned in to a [...]

Friday, August 27th, 2010Dear English Gentleman,
My boyfriend broke up with me and now is seeing another girl who is not even half as pretty, smart, or awesome as me. How can I make him see that I’m much better than her and get my ex back?
