Late Trains, Poor Service
Sunday, August 15th, 2010Dear English Gentleman,
I got into a huge argument with my boyfriend the other day because we agreed to meet for dinner at 7 p.m. He lives 45 minutes away on the train, and he offered to meet me outside the restaurant at that time. Now, you must know that the train station [...]
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 [...]
Springtime Love, Timeless Love
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 [...]

Dishwasher-safe
Sunday, June 27th, 2010Dear English Gentleman,
What’s the secret to a long-lasting relationship?
Debbie.
Dear Debbie,
In a word: trust. It’s a lot easier to think about things which are secrets (or not so secrets) of a short-lasting relationship. So we could start with lack of trust. This is true of any relationship (think of buying a car, or working in a [...]
Toys-R-Us
Saturday, June 19th, 2010Dear English Gentleman,
I really love my boyfriend, but lately I’ve been feeling like some “spice” is missing. I would like to introduce the idea of toys in the bedroom, but I’m a bit worried about his reaction. What’s the best way to bring up the idea of, uh, “accessories play”, in a friendly, non-threatening manner?
Joyless [...]
