Names have been changed to protect the innocent-ish.

Our first question comes from Zelda, 27, who says:

  1. Okay, I've been dating my boyfriend for nine months. When I asked him to come out to dinner to meet my mom, he freaked out. He said it was too much pressure. That's a red flag, right?

    Correct
    Incorrect
    Yeah, duh, nine months is firmly in "meet the parents" territory.
    Correct
    Incorrect
    Eh, It's understandable if he's not ready to meet your mom. 
    Correct
    Incorrect
    Definite red flag, what is he afraid of?
    Correct
    Incorrect
    It shouldn't be an outright dealbreaker, but you deserve a thorough explanation for his hesitance.

Our next question is from Wario, 26, who says:

  1. My boyfriend sometimes won't text me back for days. We spend enough time together, and he says he's "just not a texting person" but sometimes I feel like he likes ignoring me. Is this a problem?

    Correct
    Incorrect
    Yes it's a problem. He knows the lack of communication bothers you and he still does it.
    Correct
    Incorrect
    Eh, text-shmext, if you spend a lot of time together, why does it matter?
    Correct
    Incorrect
    Some texts are more important than others. If he doesn't get back to you when you really need an answer, that's a bad sign.
    Correct
    Incorrect
    Communication is issue numero uno in a relationship: if you can't find a happy compromise between both of your texting needs, that's a red flag.

This question is from Toad, 25, who says:

  1. I've been dating this guy for about four months and I recently noticed he still has dating apps on his phone. Is that okay? Should I ask why he hasn't deleted them?

    Correct
    Incorrect
    You're four months deep. What does he need apps for? Call him out on it.
    Correct
    Incorrect
    If he still has the apps he's obviously looking for more validation than you can provide, that doesn't seem good for either of you.
    Correct
    Incorrect
    Eh, dating apps are just something fun to check while you poop.
    Correct
    Incorrect
    It's time to DTR: define the relationship. If you're *official* the apps need to go.

This next question comes from Dixie, 29, who says:

  1. I briefly dated a girl, Yoshi, and we remain friends. I just went out with a girl, Samus, and it turns out Yoshi and Samus are friends. I’m really interested in Samus. Should I give Yoshi a heads up, or should I wait to see how things go before saying any

    Correct
    Incorrect
    Don't say anything, you'll spoil it before things even heat up.
    Correct
    Incorrect
    You should talk to Yoshi, transparency is always the best policy.
    Correct
    Incorrect
    Did Samus and Yoshi date? If not, it shouldn't matter either way.
    Correct
    Incorrect
    Sounds like a recipe for drama, I'd avoid the whole situation.

This question comes from Kirby, 25, who says:

  1. My regular hook-up likes so many other girls' pics on Instagram. Like, a couple is okay, because we’re not official. But is it a bad sign that he likes so many sexy pics?

    Correct
    Incorrect
    Yes, if he likes so many knowing you can see, imagine what he's doing in the DMs?
    Correct
    Incorrect
    Eh, if you're not really gonna claim him officially, he can do whatever he wants.
    Correct
    Incorrect
    Bad sign. Liking a bunch of sexy selfies is fuckboy behavior 101.
    Correct
    Incorrect
    Why are you even creeping on his likes?

Our last question comes from Dry Bones, 23, who asks:

  1. We’ve been good friends, with occasional hookups, for four years. Every time we hook up I realize I have strong feelings for them. I confessed my love but they said they don’t feel the same way. Can we still be friends?

    Correct
    Incorrect
    Lol, no, you can't still be friends.
    Correct
    Incorrect
    If you want more out of this relationship than they can give, it's probably not gonna work out.
    Correct
    Incorrect
    Sure, if things are basically the same as they've been, why not?
    Correct
    Incorrect
    You confessed your love. If you go back to casually hooking up, they'll think they can have you without any emotional investment.
