QuestionHow can I get over someone I love who doesn't love me back?Community AnswerThis has happened to me. Try focusing on friendship, other activities, and enjoying life. He/she is not interested, so move on, and try forgetting about him/her. Pick up a new healthy habit like running or gardening.

QuestionIs it true that I'm better off being single than being in a meaningless or on-again-off-again relationship?Community AnswerYes. It is true indeed. Being in an unhealthy relationship causes stress and disturbs your peace of mind. Learn to love yourself and invest in others' lives (in a non-romantic context). Another truism is that true love will come to you when you're not looking for it, so live your life and refuse to settle.

QuestionHow do I love a person even though he sends mixed signals? I know love without pain is impossible, but how do I tolerate how he hurts me?Community AnswerYou can try talking to him to see if he really cares. If that doesn't help, then it may be time to leave the relationship. If you are questioning how you can be with someone while they hurt you, it is not healthy or safe to be with that person.

If you must, tell them you're learning yourself more before being in a committed relationship.

QuestionWill I ever meet the one?Community AnswerYes. In the meantime, work toward making yourself "the one" for your future partner.

QuestionWhat activities can I do to meet new people and make new friends?

You could try asking a friend or family member about the situation, but the truth is, she broke up with you, and it doesn't really matter why.

QuestionIs it easier for women and harder for men to get into relationships?Community AnswerNot necessarily. A lot of women feel like they have to wait for a guy to make the first move, and often guys aren't as interested in making a commitment. It might be easier for a woman to date, but it's probably not any easier for a woman to get into an actual relationship.

QuestionHow do I deal with sexual frustration while single? I've been single so long and miss sex enough that simply distracting myself does not do it for me, neither does masturbation.Community AnswerThere are many people who are single and sexually frustrated, and there are also a lot of sites for these people that are meant for sex, and sex alone, which means no compromise and no dating. If you do consider this, you should always be aware that these sites are not always safe or legal, so be careful. A tip is to always let a close friend know where you are, who you're seeing, and what you're doing. Don't go overboard and tell this friend everything you do, but schedule to text the friend about every 30 minutes to an hour, in case something goes wrong and you're caught in a dangerous situation.

QuestionI have been praying on and off to see if the married life is for me or should I stay a single adult at 49. I still live with mom; born with a mild form of cerebral palsy and don't work nor drive. What should I do?Tom De BackerTop AnswererFirst off, it doesn't matter where you live, what you have, or what you do or don't do. You have a set of characteristics, just like everyone else, some ups and some downs. Maybe living with your mom is not ideal, so don't open with that, but this is you. All you need, just like everybody else, is one person who likes your specific set of characteristics. Not a thousand, not a hundred, just one. Unfortunately, the decision to be married or be single is only half yours. You can only 'put yourself out there' until you find someone who decides the other half of it.

QuestionI talked to a guy for two weeks. We were pretty close until he stopped talking to me. What do I do?Community AnswerForget about him. It was two weeks, and obviously it wasn't that serious, since he completely dropped you with no explanation. It sounds like you dodged a bullet. It's okay to be disappointed, and to feel sad, but just remind yourself that it wasn't meant to be and move on.

Figure out what they want from you while in a friendship, and spend more time with them. This really works!
