How early in a relationship can you ask if the other person is dating other people? It can be an honest and nagging feeling we can’t control, but it can have disappointing consequences if not handled properly. Brooke has how to deal.

Dear Brooke, 
I’ve been doing the internet dating thing a little bit, and I’m surprised by how well it seems to be working. I’ve been talking and hanging out with this girl a little while now and really like her. But based on her tweets and Facebook statuses, I think she might be going on dates with other guys too. I’m into her, point blank—and I feel like a teenage girl saying this, but I really want to know: Is it a little early to say something about dating other people? And more-so, at what point do I have a right to be jealous? 

Today Primer Magazine reveals the best gift ideas for girlfriends...from girlfriends. Thanks for including me, boys! Check out the article HERE.

While some song writers may say all you need is love, resident relationship expert Brooke knows men can also benefit from a swift kick in the pants from the boot of knowledge.

This month Soapbox Therapy and Primer Magazine give the boys a little somethin' to chew on--here's a taste...

Moral of the story: Don’t be afraid to be confident, women love it…and…know the difference between confidence and cockiness. Confident men know themselves and can stand tall in who they are, cocky men have no idea who they are and do everything they can to convince you otherwise.

A lil' taste of "Dave's" question...

"So the problem is this : every time she receives a rejection letter, every time she comes back from an interview she feels did not go well, every time a friend of hers get hired or gets sworn in as a lawyer, my girlfriend throws a fit. She feels left behind by her friends and by me, and she ends up questioning her entire career choice. I inevitably react badly to these situations, as I’m more of a “grab-life-by-the-cojones” kind of person and don’t see any point in self-pity and crying over things we can’t change. So, typical guy, I propose solutions and come off as insensitive. Voices are raised, tears inevitably come, and strain is put on the relationship..."

A lil' taste of my response...

"Dear Dave, I love that you threw all your cards on the table, coined yourself a “typical guy,” and even identified that proposing solutions does in fact make you come off insensitive. The fact that you wrote in and asked about this tells me that deep down, you are anything but insensitive, which is great news because in order to be the man your sweet woman needs right now, you’re going to have to dig down way past your ‘cojones’, grab all the sensitivity you’ve got, and put it to work. Starting yesterday..."

Finding the person of your dreams and landing your dream job are two of the most important things to people in their 20’s. So what are you supposed to do when your dream girl says she can’t date you because she’s afraid of messing up her dream job? Brooke has the answer.

Check out the article on Primer Magazine today! But first, a taste...

Dear Brooke – I found your site from Primer and recently read your article on being engaged.

I just became engaged to a wonderful woman who I love very much. We live together, have many of the same tastes and desires and get along great with our respective families. I’m really looking forward to a long and happy life together. There is, naturally, an issue that I can’t seem to get over.

My relationship with Primer Magazine is still pretty new. I must say, though, we've gotten to know each other pretty quickly and have grown quite fond of one another already. So much so that they've asked me to add some special pieces which will be appropriately titled: Brooke On Boys. Yes, really.

It happens to be the perfect time to celebrate our already flourishing relationship, as Valentines Day is this weekend. So I put a little something together for the boys of Primer called "Why Valentines Day Matters"... because what says I love you more than a special article to make sure the boys don't screw this weekend up...

"Ryan is normally the life of the party, but some nights he calls it off, stays in alone to dick around on the Internet or play video games, and then feels anti-social and guilty for ditching his friends. Is something up? Our expert Brooke weighs in."
