So this concerns my current ex-boyfriend of 3.5 years. His birthday is August 8, 19**. We've broken up twice in the past 4 years, but we always end up back together. Although we match up in so many ways, were very different in many as well. I just need to know if the reason we keep coming back is because there is a future for us? Or are we just wasting precious time and opportunities for finding other people that were meant for us?

In fact, I just got this email from a listener in Houston:
Dear Emily,
Do you have any tips for figuring out if someone’s good in bed before you sleep with them? The reason I’m asking is because there’s this guy at work who I always thought was really hot, but he had a girlfriend. Well, the other day he came over to my desk to specifically ask if I was going to happy hour on Friday. Then I found out he and his girlfriend had broken up! Now I can’t stop thinking about sleeping with him and I’m dying of curiosity. Are there any clues that might help me even though I only see him in an office? Read more
Who has the fairest changing room lighting of them all?
Trust me—you’ll need a filtered lens to find a well-lighted fitting room in this country. We’ve all been there. As you race to the dressing room, maneuvering an armful of the latest fashions, take heed. Even a fit, toned, and tanned woman with nary an ounce of body fat can fall victim to a bout of low self-esteem when she sees herself in the halogen lighting and funhouse mirrors provided in the typical dressing room, including those in high-end shops.
