Here's Dr Love, who will solve your relationship riddles in a confusing digital age
Dr. Love
A. If your girlfriend is reading this, I urge her to dump you. You deserve to be alone with your stack of Salman Khan DVDs.
Q. I would like to make new friends, but I can't, no matter how hard I try. Do you have tips for people like me?
A. Yes, work on your personality. Accept who you are, don't try to be something you're not, follow your instincts and spend time with people who like doing the same things you do. Making new friends does not come easily to everyone, simply because not everyone can be outgoing, gregarious and charming all the time. Maybe you're just trying too hard. Relax a little and just be open to conversations with all kinds of people. That should help. Also, make an effort to keep up with old friends, because they are usually the ones who can introduce you to new people. Meeting people is easy, engaging them and working on a relationship with them is harder.
Q. I like a lot of women on Tinder, but none of them like me back. Am I doing something wrong? Should I say something more about myself on my profile? Am I coming across as too needy?
A. I don't have an account on Tinder because I manage quite well with women in the real world. I can't comment on your profile because I don't know who you are or what you're like, either offline or online. I can, however, on the basis of
your question alone, safely say that you're probably coming across as a little too needy. Try not to let an app take over your life. Try meeting real people once in a while.
