Enter the half-joke, half-serious concept of “silver springing” someone. It’s the idea that you and all the love you bring with you are unforgettable — like a ghost that will eternally haunt them.
It’s the holiday season, and I’m not sure how to curb these feelings of loneliness. Last Christmas I had a boyfriend, and now I don’t — but I still feel the same!
Dear Abby, I saw two people making out in the hallways of CAS the other day and I’m beside myself! It was just a crazy sight. I need to know, how much PDA do you think is too much and what’s really acceptable?
Dear Abby: Election Day is coming up, and I’m kind of annoyed at my boyfriend. He’s voting against my political party. I told him that this makes me upset given some of the opposing candidate’s policies, but he won’t listen. I know I should probably agree to disagree, but that doesn’t sit right with me. Do you think we’ll ever be able to get past this?
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?

I don’t want to bring it up because then I sound like I’m forcing him, but shouldn’t he be proud to post me? Or am I just being dramatic?
Dear Abby: I’m dying to know — do you think it’s true that for a relationship to work, the guy always has to love the girl more? I feel like I’ve always loved my boyfriends more, but things always fizzle out. Is it because I’m the one loving harder?
Dear Abby: I have a serious question I need an answer to. Be honest, how much does height really matter in a relationship? I mean, I feel like I’m pretty tall for a guy, but there are taller ones out...
Dear Abby: I have to confess, I’m thinking of breaking up with my boyfriend. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a great guy and I still love him, but we’ve been fighting a lot recently, and it’s draining...
Dear Abby: My ex and I just split and in her last text to me she asked if we could still be friends. I’m still really hurt, but I really do love and miss her — but how can I settle for just being a...
