Meg:
I’m a 38-year-old man who’s been dating a great woman for a few months. We have so a lot in common and have been spending a ton of time together. I met her kids and really like them. This just shows how much I’m into her. My dilemma is about sex. We haven’t had it yet, but it’s came close. So what’s the deal? I have herpes.

Okay, enough. Here’s our very first question:

The best thing about working at Fascinations during Valentine’s Day is seeing all the cute couples come in together, or separately, to get that special something for each other.

There’s nothing wrong with being single, but come on, let’s face it, with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, being part of a couple is nice. Sometimes we’re alone because we actually want to be. Other times, however, it’s because dating freaks us the hell out, so we hide in our singledom like the Sock Monster hides in the dryer. Nothing wrong with hiding out for a little while, but it becomes a problem when you lose yourself in a bowl of cookie dough and cat hair. Check out the signs of being single too long, below.
