We're in the final match-up of the Romance Rumble. The winning movie will be screened Feb. 25 at Theatre 1 at the Revere Hotel. Tickets will be free, and film critic Ty Burr will be there to introduce the night. I'll also be there with snacks. You can vote for your favorite leading man here. I'll post details about how to sign up for the screening next week.

Q: Hi Meredith,

My question isn't about my own relationship, it's about a close friend's (Beth) lack of one. We're in our 30s. I have been with the same guy for years. Beth hasn't had a boyfriend or many dates over the past decade and it's become a central topic of conversation to the point that I can't handle it anymore.

Here's the general idea: She has gotten increasingly more obsessed with finding a boyfriend/future husband. Over the past few years, it's been to the point that our group of girlfriends (some of whom are also single) sometimes wonder if we're ever going to be able to talk about anything else when she's around. There are a couple different situations that I am particularly sick of happening.
