Dear Jacob and Emma
I hope this message finds you well! With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I find myself feeling both excited and a bit nervous. There’s someone special I’ve been thinking about asking out, and I could really use your advice on how to approach it.
I want to make sure that my invitation is thoughtful and sincere, but I’m not quite sure how to express my feelings without coming on too strong. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the best way to ask them out. Do you have any tips on what to say or how to create the right atmosphere for the moment?Also, if you have any ideas for a fun or romantic setting, I’m all ears! I want to make this a memorable experience for both of us.Thanks so much for your help! I really appreciate your insight and support. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
Warmest regards,
Lost in Love

Dear Lost in Love,
I think the best way to approach telling your Valentine you like them is to be endearing. I would make them a fruit basket with a note that way you won’t have to worry about being rejected or disappointed. It also makes it harder to reject you because you spent all this time and money on a fruit basket. I think the fruit basket adds to the romantic atmosphere, and basically creates the perfect story for how you got together.
Sincerely,
Emma
Dear Lost in Love,
The best way to tell your Valentine you like them is to be upfront with how you feel. I wouldn’t worry about the atmosphere or the romance and just focus on getting your feelings across. If you get rejected, it will feel good to have addressed your feelings and they will no longer be burdening you. For Valentine’s Day you should maybe do something extra like have flowers so that if he does say yes you have a gift to give.
Sincerely,
Jacob

Dear Jacob and Emma,
I find myself in a challenging situation and could really use your insight and advice. I’ve been reflecting on my relationship with my boyfriend and I believe it may be time for us to part ways. However, I’m unsure about the best way to approach this sensitive matter. Breaking up is never easy, and I want to handle it with care and respect for both of our feelings. I would appreciate any guidance you could offer on how to navigate this conversation.
Best,

Dear Navigating a Breakup,
I’m so sorry your relationship didn’t work out! I would begin by trying to find the right time and place for this discussion. If you could possibly schedule a time where you break the news at their home and then leave, or at the end of a dinner, this would be good. It’s also hard to know what to say, so you should stay true to your feelings. Just express that the relationship no longer suits you and use that famous line “It’s not you it’s me.” I think naturally the other person may feel hurt, but as long as you handle the situation with care, you should be fine.
Sincerely,
Emma Zellers
Dear Navigating a Breakup,
I think it would be best if you would be upfront and honest. Consider the other person’s feelings, but don’t let their emotions sway your judgement. If you have been thinking about this for a while, it is probably better for both of you to end the relationship as it may just be confining at this point. You should take comfort in knowing you are cutting both of you free from a relationship that is not growing, and be upfront with how you feel.
Sincerely,
Jacob
