One of the best pieces of dating advice I’ve ever received? The right person will never make you feel like you’re begging. If someone is making you feel needy for asking for communication, consistency or care, that’s not a “you” problem. That’s a mismatch in values.

Dear Abby: I feel like my boyfriend doesn’t love me anymore, or at least he doesn’t love being around me. We’ve been together for some time now, and he treats me totally differently than when we first met. We don’t even go on dates anymore. What is going on?

Dear Abby, is it true that all chivalry is dead? How do I know if I’m just accepting the bare minimum or actually being treated right? I wonder if I am just settling.
