- Double Take: Introverted behavior not unhealthy
- May 6, 2013

- Double Take: What is the definition of love?
- April 29, 2013
- Dear Dr. Wes & Katie: You’ve written a lot about sex and dating culture. Could you talk about love? Specifically, how do you define it? I don’t actually know if I’d recognize love in a relationship if I fell over it.
- Double Take: Set goals when adult kids move back home
- April 22, 2013

- Double Take: SnapChat no safer than texting
- April 1, 2013
- There’s bad news and worse news about sexting. First the bad: There are no reliable stats, but I guarantee that any study you find underestimates the commonality of written sexting. The vast majority of dating couples engage in it. I’m not endorsing this. I’m just reporting it.
- Double Take: Documentary exposes today’s teen issues
- March 25, 2013
- Talking to teenagers every day, I realize I have a lot higher threshold for awkward than most adults my age — higher even than Katie’s, as we see below. So I debated this week before recommending parents watch the new documentary “Sexy Baby.”
- Double Take: Teens not wired to be respectful
- March 18, 2013
- Dear Dr. Wes and Katie: I have a 17-year-old son and a 14-year-old daughter. Both are good kids. No drugs, drinking, bullying, etc. I struggle, however, with respect from them. I find myself nagging at them because I ask them once to do something and then they don’t do it, and then I get ugly with them because I have to repeat it.
- Double Take: Breaking up is hard but necessary
- March 11, 2013
- Last month we discussed rules for romance, the first of which was to consider dating a process of figuring out who you don’t belong with. This comes up no less than 10 times a week in my office. It’s a rule that’s obviously true yet hard to follow, and if you’re going to put it to good use, breaking up will become a major part of your search for true love.
