Our first caller wants to know if she's "too needy" or if her boyfriend's just not showing up. Our second caller dumped her perfect guy and now wishes she hadn't. And our third caller is three months into a situationship and desperate to turn it into something real.

"At the end of the day, he has to know you're willing to walk away."
