Question
My boyfriend and I have been dating for 1 1/2 yrs. Overall we have a great relationship. He has been very busy lately ad I find myself lonely. When we don't spend time together, I find myself looking for company (usually male). I know I'm subconciously trying to fill some void, but how do I fix this? And am I needy?

Answer
Hello Janel,

I don't know if you are needy, but you miss him. My first question, though, is why do you feel as though you need to fill the void with other men?

I mean, it's not like the two of you are in a deteriorating relationship. You say it's great, it's just that he's been busy. So, why are you filling your time with the company of other men, rather than other women, hitting the gym, reading a book, taking a class, etc...? Are you looking for more male attention? Let me know about this.

In the meantime take a look at this report about what happens 6 to 18 months into a relationship (http://www.couplescommittedtolove.com/report_10_fades.php), and tell me if you think this applies to the two of you.

Look forward to hearing back from you,
