Dear Mikko, Why He Does Not Want To Be Intimate With Me?

why he does not want to be intimate with me
Dear Mikko,

I vowed to stay Celibate until I found the person I was going to marry. Three years ago I found a great guy who respected my vow. Well, after a few months into dating that vow was broken many times, but we felt guilty each and every time because we made a promise to each other and most importantly with God. Being that we’re both religious we’ve done our best to refrain from being intimate and so far so good.

However, it has now almost been a year since…

Should We Even Talk About Interracial Dating?

Recently, I have been asked some very interesting questions from some of my friends like: “Mikko, why are you even talking about interracial dating, what is really the big deal?” or “Mikko, don’t you think love is love, do you really think there is need to talk about interracial dating?” What I have found particularly interesting is that these questions have come from my friends with various different racial and cultural backgrounds.

So, I thought I would answer that question and explain my inspiration for talking about interracial dating.

Is Michelle Obama’s Relationship Advice For Finding The Right One Good?

Just recently in an interview for a magazine, Mrs. Obama urges women not to choose men simply because they are “cute”. “Cute is good. But cute only lasts for so long, and then it’s, Who are you as a person?,” she said.”Don’t look at the bankbook or the title. Look at the heart. Look at the soul.”When you’re dating a man, you should always feel good. You shouldn’t be in a relationship with somebody who doesn’t make you completely happy and make you feel whole.” To read the whole article,…

Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus Vs. Marriage And Family Therapy Program

Men Are From Mars Women Are From Venus

This is going to be a somewhat controversial article. The reason is that I am going to try to compare what I learned in my two year Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) Master’s program to what I have learned from Dr. John Gray, the author of Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus.

In 2005, I enrolled in to the MFT program at the University Of Louisiana At Monroe (ULM), which is the only dually credited program in the United States giving you the opportunity to become licensed in both the field…

I have been reading many interesting articles and some books attempting to probe into some of the reasons why more and more white men are beginning to date black women, why others still don’t, and why some may still be oppose to it. So first, why are white men dating black women?

As a white man dating black women, I am going to give you my perspective on this topic. As a clarification, I want to make it clear that I don’t try, at least not consciously, to limit myself…

Dear Mikko, Am I Having A Facebook Affair?

Facebook_affairs_small

Dear Mikko,

I once dated this one guy briefly. I have never slept with him, but there is a lot of sexual chemistry between us. We are now friends. He has a girlfriend, but sometimes we start chatting on Facebook and he is very flirtacious with me. He is very good looking and I know I have a soft spot for good-looking guys. He keeps reminding me how sexy I am and what a great time we used to have together. I feel like the conversations we are having are little inappropriate…

Dear Mikko,

I met a guy with whom I have great chemistry. We have shared great time together. We have shared passionate kisses, stimulating conversations, and laughter.

At first I was a little perplexed and tried to understand. Now I just feel a bit hurt, and I am not sure about our growing friendship and the future of…

Dating Up-Date – Why Do Men And Women Play Dating Games?

Here is what some of you have been waiting for ☺. A short dating up-date from my personal life :) . My date and I went to a nice jazz club last Saturday and they had a killer band playing. I used my strategy to compliment her (see my previous post: How To Compliment A Woman?) and scored some brownie points (At least so I hope ☺).

After the jazz club she wanted to go salsa dancing, so we headed to a local salsa club (I think she just wanted to see my…
