Guess These Movie Brides!

Summer is indeed wedding season and just like Winter Holiday Season it's never without its yearly romantic comedy release(s). Come to think of it, what is the latest wedding movie of 2011? I know there's Bridesmaids (loved it, btw) but I could have sworn there's one that followed... Love Wedding Marriage, is it? With Mandy Moore?

Online Dating and First Impressions Giveaway

As online dating seems to be on the rise, I notice all the options we have when it comes to flirting; Facebook, Twitter, Google chats, texts, and the list goes on.

Q: Gary, any advice you can give would be much appreciated. My boyfriend has MAJOR jealousy issues... He gets jealous when I even talk to another guy!

Q: I'm a 36 years-old professional woman financially and emotionally stable, living in the beautiful Vancouver. I like to be in shape, work out with a personal trainer, love golf, tennis, oudoor activities and usually open to try different things in life. consider myself a very honest, romantic and passionate person who enjoys the finest and the simplest things in life... balance for me in life is the real happiness and so far my life is not balanced since haven't being able to find that special person whom I can feel total chemistry (physical, intellectual and personality) and share my life with...

Ask An Expert: Justin, I Like This Guy In My Social Circle! Please Help!

Q: There’s this person I like in my social circle and we’ve become good friends. We see each other every time we all go out for drinks, go camping and other activities. He was with someone before and they’ve broken up about three months ago. I think he likes me too, but I don’t want to jump into any conclusions. Do you have any advice for me on what my next move should be?

Ask An Expert: Justin: We Met And The Lust Is Gone! Please Help!

Q: I am in a long distance relationship and feel that after we met recently, I’m not the right person for him. He still is in constant contact with me everyday, but I feel that the lust is gone. We haven’t slept together but I don’t feel the chemistry on his part. How can I get him to fess up if he feels that I’m a good partner for him? How should I approach this?

Ask An Expert: Justin, I'm In A Long Distance Relationship And Need Your Advice!

Q: Hi there Justin, I wonder if I can get some advice. I'm not really sure how to word this, but there's someone a fair distance away from me, that I really love. I've known him, almost 2 years now (It'll be 2 years in March) The problem is, that under the circumstances my feelings cannot be returned. He knows my feelings, but he wants us to stay friends until we've met... Here is where things get... annoying. He's in the US Military - and I'm a simple small town girl in Ontario Canada. We've scheduled times before to meet, but the Military has butted in and made it so it cannot happen. This is what he's told me, and i believe him in completely.

Ask An Expert: Justin/Annabelle, I am 16 and have never had a boyfriend. Please help!

Ask an Expert: Gary, How Do I Find the Right Therapist?

I've been married for 3 years, I'm Mexican and my husband is Canadian, we are living in Victoria, BC, and our marriage has been quite rocky. We finally decided to go for some counselling, but I don't know how to chose one or look for one that would be right for us. I'm a psychologist and I believe that my husband would feel more comfortable with a guy. Do you have any recommendations on how to find the right therapist for us?

Ask An Expert: Gary, My Husband Lies!

Gary, I hope you can help me address a lying problem with my husband. At the start of our relationship I found out that he was telling small "white" lies (you know, like about hanging out with the boys after work or what he thinks about some of my friends) and I would brush these off. Recently I'm finding out the lies are starting to get bigger and more frequent. How do I address this problem with him?

The Sex Life of the Canadian Teen

Hot, hot, hot off the presses is Planned Parenthood's new Toronto Teen sex survey. Before we get into all the salacious details, let's have a brief moment of respect for Planned Parenthood and all the great work that the organization has done over the years. Sexual health information and services weren't always this accessible, even in Canada, so big ups, PP. We salute you.

Don't Cheat... Just Sleep Around

So this couple gets together and never bothers to talk about monogamy. It’s the only way to do things, after all. And then... surprise! Someone gets a mysterious STD and things fall apart. Maybe kids or property is involved, or maybe just broken hearts. Drama ensues, and all the friends and family are shocked and appalled even though humans have been stepping out on each other since always.

Ask an Expert: Justin and Annabelle, how do I overcome my dating nerves?

I think I have figured out my dating issue: I get so nervous that I come across as very professional, almost like I’m on a job interview! How can I overcome my nervousness so people see the real me?

Sorry we didn't work out... Would you mind filling out this questionnaire??

Dating can be a funny thing, especially these days where entire industries have sprung up to take adavantage of people trying to find a special someone.
