I've been dating someone for a couple of months and I'm positive that I don't want to continue the relationship. I planned to break up with him in person, but he just sent me an e-mail asking if I'm no longer interested. Does this make it more appropriate to break up with him via e-mail? [more inside]

After a series of painful relationships, when did you know you were ready to date again? Alternately, how do you tell the difference between "not ready" and "making up excuses to not date due to being scared silly of the opposite sex" and "anxiety problems" ? [more inside]

I'm experiencing a bit of an existential dilemma. I'm 30, going on 31 in July, and recently ended a relationship with my fiance.

We talked, and mutually agreed that it was probably for the best that we end it and move on. It was for all intents and purposes an amicable split. However, I'm really struggling with the moving on part. [more inside]
