Q.   Recently, I went to a business conference and met a very interesting guy.  The problem is after spending an entire day and night together, which included drinks and sex, we exchanged numbers and he promised to call the next day.  But he didn’t.  That was three weeks ago and I want to call him to see what happened. However, all of my friends are advising me to count it as a one-night stand and forget about it because it’s obvious he has.  I’m thinking maybe he lost my number because our encounter was so intense.  What do you think?

A.   Maybe he lost the number or lost interest.  However, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with you calling him.  It will definitely take away the suspense of how he feels about you.  You have nothing to lose, and it’s a quick way to get your answer and be done with it..

Q.   I have been engaged to be married for over a year, and was supposed to get married next month.  However, I’m about to call this wedding off because my fiancé just informed me that he has a teenage daughter he didn’t know about and that she’s going to have to live with us, because her mother has abandoned her.  I don’t want children, and I made this clear when he proposed.  Everyone thinks I’m crazy, because he’s a great catch.  But I don’t want to raise someone else’s child.  I have great respect for your opinion.  What do you say?

A.   I say whatever happened to…for better or for worse?  I think if you love someone enough, you will do all you can to support that person.  It doesn’t sound like you love him enough.  If you don’t, then you shouldn’t marry him. 

Q.   I’m getting ready to marry, and I have a dilemma.  I’m marrying my ex-husband’s brother and he wants to invite all of my former in-laws to the wedding.  I’m against that, but I don’t know how to tell him how awkward that would be for me.  What would you do?

A.   Get married at City Hall in a civil ceremony with two members of your family.
