Dan Savage is in Questionland all day today, answering your questions about love, sex, and relationships. Just in time for Valentine's Day! Should you DTMFA? Should you propose? Should you give in to your significant other's weird fetish even though it grosses you out? Find out now!

He'll be taking questions until about 3:30 pm, and he'll do his best to get to answer as many of the questions as possible. The sooner you ask, the better chances you have, so click here to ask Dan Savage a question in Questionland!

Here's one question he's tackled so far:

Q: How do I break up with my long term GF?

Dan's answer: I think it would be... a thoughtful gesture, on your part, to make yourself scarce after you break up with her. Having to make small talk and eye contact with the person who just dumped you, because you live together, can be excruciating in the extreme. Have a bag packed, drop the bomb, and give her what she'll probably need and will most likely ask for: space. Which requires distance.

Maybe you can transition to roommates and continue to share the house with your cousins, maybe not. But let your ex, who didn't have much control over the end of the relationship, have some control over that decision.

Do it in a room full of people, preferably her family and friends. Let everyone know you have a BIG announcement to make (like a proposal, baby etc.) and dump he in as harsh of language as possible in and why exacting details.

In short, make it memorable.
