Hi Matthew,  I just recently reconnected with a guy from my past.  

There was an instant attraction when we first met. We hooked up a couple of times.  

Things just weren't in the right place for things to work between us. 

Fast forward to now and we have found each other again.  The attraction is still very strong.  

I would just like to know do we have a chance this time around?

Dear Matthew,

My neighbors kid crushing on me? It was cute at first but it’s getting to be very uncomfortable.

Without making things awkward in the neighbourhood, how do I deal with this?

Dear Matthew,

I am overwhelmed by the clutter in my house.

Every time I try to tackle this disaster I feel like I’m just moving the mess from one room to the next and back again.

I thought the stay at home orders during Covid would inspire me to get things done finally and yet here I am now… Looking at the same mess, if not a worse mess than when Covid began.

How do I tackle this?   And how do I stop beating myself up over it?

How do I let go of a past love when there is still a strong attachment?

(Ask Your Dating Expert Suzie)

1. It usually is the same story, you meet someone who you perceive to be exactly what you were looking for in a partner, this person said the right things and did the right things ... or so it seemed. There were so many red flags waving around that it’s almost impossible to see straight.

2. Often times we can't let go because there is something tethering us to that other person like something they're doing but more often than not it's all you. You're the one holding on, and you need to ask yourself why you're still attached. False Hope? Loneliness?

3. I’ve been there! Speaking to a professional helped me realize why it was that I was so attached, the funny thing was as much as I wanted to blame them it wasn't about them at all - it was about me. They were like a drug for me and I was, for lack of a better word, addicted.

4. Here’s what I did and what you can do to let go for real this time:

5. Take inventory of past relationships.

6. Build your confidence and know your worth.

7. Surround yourself with good people who care about you.

8. Be your best self!

9. Be happily single.

Remember that some people will always have a special place in our hearts but that doesn't mean they deserve a special place in our lives.

Dear Matthew,

Is this a kink or am I weird?

If anyone calls me sweetie I get extremely giddy… Like warm feelings all over kind of giddy. Even if it's my friends who call me that I have the same reaction.

Dear Matthew,

I have spent my entire adult life in a relationship with one person and we broke up. 

I quite literally don't know what to do.

We had been together for 5 years now. 

Our breakup was painful, mostly because we both still very much love each other and want the best for the other... 

Our life just grew apart I guess. 

My problem is that I can't let go of him, all I think about is that some day we will find each other again and fall in love once again. Since I was 17, I was dreaming of marrying this man and it looked like it's gonna be a reality for a very long time... So now I'm here, with all my plans and dreams being placed on one person broken.

 I'm just looking for some advice from those of you who are more experienced in break ups, how do you get yourself together the fastest?

TODAY... Where do you stand?

(How to know where you stand with someone)

§ Often times we can end up in “relationship limbo” because we don’t want to rock the boat but it’s important to know if they’re a significant or insignificant other.

§ Some important things to ask yourself: are you an important part of their daily life (not just texting)? Do they include you in important life decisions? Do they value your opinion? Are you public or on the down low? Are your encounters more than sex (like going out, doing stuff in public)?

§ Not every liaison will result in a relationship and that’s ok, but what’s not ok is leading someone on or being on different pages.

Never assume that you’re exclusive unless you’ve both stated that you are so have that discussion when you feel it’s the right time (usually after a few dates).

Dear Matthew,

My 13 year old son spent $312.53 USD online without my permission. On light sabers.

The company refuses to cancel the order and refund my money… What should I do?

Dear Matthew,

I have had scary dreams where I am being abused, left alone etc. I really feel terrible at night and wish there is someone by my side. But there's none at that time. What do I do? I need some help.
