		<description><![CDATA[Dear Anna,

I (31F) called off my engagement about a year ago and moved to a new
city. A few months later I matched with a guy (26M) on an app — the

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Anna,

I’m 44, divorced, and very happily in my “slut era.” I’m
dating casually, having fun, and not looking for either one-night stands

I’m a 36-year-old guy who’s been single for a few years, and
