Hi Abby! I would love for you to make a podcast or video that lists some of the big questions people should ask when first starting to date someone. Even though I'm already married with 2 children, I know so many people who say they want a serious relationship that leads to marriage, but then they never want to ask the hard questions.

Hi Abby! My first baby was really active in utero, the second was very chill, and their personalities have actually held to that ;P

I didn't date until graduating from high school and married the first boy I met (he is wonderful) so haven't had great dating advice to give which is why I wanted to hear your points. We haven't allowed our kids to date until they graduate high school, so now at ages 16 and 20 they haven't had even a first kiss yet, but we don't feel bad about it at all. (We even drove my son and his date to prom lol, and yes, we laugh about it.) Maybe we're protective, but there's also no regrets! My daughter listened to this too and it prompted such a great discussion. Thanks!

I would love a part 2 for this topic! I just broke it off with my chemistry guy after losing considerably long time (im still 23, but i dated with my chemistry guy for 4,5 years with hopes of marriage but not really achieving that) and am in the healing process. I am also introverted but find myself filling the silence if the other person is more introverted than me, and i usually attract introverts which I am not attracted usually! I never thought of it as “this might be because i am an introvert and they are also introverts” before and so this was very eye opening. My problem is thinking my chemistry guy would change. And sometimes guys say that they would change and that’s what keeps me going, but then they don’t or blame you for not meeting their expectations. Also, growing up without a reliable father figure, I don’t know how to judge guys or have boundaries to protect myself from unhealthy men. I often attract unhealthy men into my life and they easily manipulate me :( I really want to have a family and marry an honest and loyal guy whom i also have chemistry. You are teaching me all of that and it is very precious for me because i never had the opportunity to see a healthy relationship. You are like my big sister. Thank you!

Hi, Abby! I would love to hear your thoughts on how you think someone should approach dating, specifically with regards to how much they should date. Should they seriously consider a person before they ever go out with them, or should they use 1st dates as their way to get to know someone (essentially, more 1st dates or fewer)? Thanks for your input!

Sincerely,

A fellow Abby : )
