AboutLeon Scott Baxter Expertise I can answer questions about keeping love in committed relationships alive and fresh. I am
not the guy to go to if you're having marital problems or if you want to know how to meet
someone. (I've never been good at opening lines.)

relationship turn cold. Let me help you find ways to be excited about each other and your
relationship again.

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.
