I know there is
cin.ignore();, but it doesn't mean I must use it whenever I want to use getline() right??Thanks..

If the stream is valid it is not skipped.
It may be called at a point when there is nothing of substance left in the buffer, so nothing of substance ends up in var.
The most common problems are a stream extraction (>>) followed by a getline.
I almost never use .ignore().
You need to show the code that you are having problems with.
