Q: I’m a 30-year-old man currently dating a 21-year-old woman. We have known each other for a year and been a couple for four months. We are in love and she is VERY much in love with me (so she says). She constantly wants to snuggle and be close and alone with me. Though, after […]

I’ve heard several people […]
Q: I’m 23 and recently one of my friends said that many people are afraid of me. They think I’m cold, distant, serious and seem “too perfect and independent.” Also, they think I often look grumpy, cranky and short-tempered.
