Are you struggling to find meaning and purpose in your life after graduating high school or college, and feeling woefully underprepared for adulthood? Do you feel like your life lacks purpose, like you have no idea where to even start, like you're stuck just distracting yourself from how bad you feel about how things are playing out in your life? Don't worry — you're not alone!

Question: Do you think that the advent of mobile phones and instant messaging services has taken some of the verbal aspects out of dating? These days it seems like most people will use IM services to talk and get to know each other, and going out on dates is less prevalent. Often this expedites the dating process as a whole; what you would learn about someone over the course of maybe a month in physical dates can be learned in the course of a week via a mix of physical dates and instant communication. Am I right about this?

Question: My partner and I have been exclusive with each other so far in our relationship, but I think I am falling for a friend of mine. My partner is open to the idea of a poly relationship, but how do I know if that is a good idea for us? I don’t want to jeopardize my relationship with my existing partner — I love him very much.

Question: I have had a complicated relationship with a guy for over a year now. Without getting into any details, we are now taking space from each other. This is really hard for me because I love being around him and talking to him. Because I can be very emotional, I have said some hurtful things to him that I regret and have apologized for multiple times. I don't know if we'll ever be able to have the same kind of relationship again and that scares me. How can I make myself give him the space and time he needs when I'm worried and just want to talk? Also, how can I make up for the hurtful things I've said?

I am a 22yo male in a polyamorous triad with two wonderful mates, a 19yo male and a 24yo female. We all identify as bisexual. Lately, we’ve dealt with some infidelity problems, and we’ve been able to work through it, but I think we’re all a little confused about expectations given that we are in a non-monogamous relationship. How should we define what cheating is, given that we have more than one mate as it is?

Question: I'm having no luck dating, and every opportunity I seem to get doesn't end well. The latest girl has ghosted on me three times, and I think I am ready to cut her off, but I’m not sure. She says she's too busy with school, and that I live too far away, but I think she might just be making excuses. I’ve now made it clear that I will not seek anyone else; I’d rather have them seek me. Maybe I’m just not ready for a relationship, but I’m worried I’ll always just be alone.
