A.   3 December 2009: How do you mean you work in the back of the 'house' and her in the front?! Have you spoken to her a lot? If you have spoken heaps, and you get along well, and she's receptive to talking to you, it's a lot easier to ask her if she fancies coming for ... (read in full...)

A.   19 November 2009: Well, he certainly doesn't sound like much of a catch to me! You did the right thing in breaking things off. You deserve so much better than him. If you re-read what you've written here, the very idea of going back out with him should be abhorren... (read in full...)

A.   19 November 2009: Well it sounds at the very least that she has no idea of what she really wants, or that she wants both of you! What do YOU want?! Why did you break up in the first place? If it's something easy and fixable, then good luck. If it's somethin... (read in full...)

A.   19 November 2009: I've been in your shoes in almost the exact same way! When I was at school, I really fancied this boy, and another girl in my class (don't know if you have 'rose day' where you are, but boys and girls can buy flowers for people they fancy) bought a ... (read in full...)

A.   19 November 2009: Hi, it sounds to me that you are more concerned of which of the two girls is more convenient, which is a bit of strange variable to me. Of course the obvious answer would be which of the girls do you LIKE more? Who makes you happiest when you're ... (read in full...)

My boyfriend left me, but hasn't turned in the key! Why?

Q.   My boyfriend moved out without warning. He was a horrible communicator. His name is on the lease and he said that he would give me the key when the lease is up. Why keep the key?...

A.   18 November 2009: Do you have any idea why he left? Maybe he kept the key because he's still got things round your place so even if you're out he can still come in and get them. I don't know about you, but this would make me extremely uncomfortable! Have you aske... (read in full...)

Q.   Please help me... I'm really suffering. I have done countless Google searches, read through hundreds of forums and advice columns, and sought the help of family, friends, and even my significant other, but nothing will silence my thoughts and ...

A.   18 November 2009: Teenagers are a lot more insecure than adults, all those extra hormones flying around our bodies, I'd guess. Your boyfriend was a totally different person as a teenager than he is now, so things he would have forgiven then (he probably didn't know ... (read in full...)

A.   18 November 2009: I think that if you read back over what you have just written, you'll see which man deserves you more! On the one hand, we have your husband who is physically and emotionally abusive and seems to want you only when it's convenient and on his term... (read in full...)

Q.   I've been talking to a guy for almost a year and the past 2 months we've been spending more time together. I have a couple of questions.. he has bad credit and short on money. I feel so shallow when I think of that being the dealbreaker for going to ...

A.   18 November 2009: You aren't shallow at all, you're just looking to the future. The idea of bad credit when you are looking at a long term relationship can be a bit of a downer for you (and him!) in relation to buying a house together etc. If he's short on money, h... (read in full...)

A.   18 November 2009: Do you know for certain that he would never see you as more than a friend? Has this information come directly from him or is it something you've 'heard' from someone else? I'm very concerned that you feel you 'can't go on' without him, you've m... (read in full...)

A.   18 November 2009: Talk to her. Find out what's going on in her mind. Maybe it's not a coincidence that you haven't seen without clothes since your daughter was born..! Has she ever suffered from depression at all? She sounds like she's really insecure about hers... (read in full...)

A.   18 November 2009: Okay, firstly, date venues. Once you find a girl you like, get to know her and ask her what activities she enjoys. This doesn't mean it has to cost a fortune! Just if you make a bit of effort to find out what she likes, you'll have a much easier ... (read in full...)

A.   18 November 2009: It does sound to me that he fancies you. The very fact that he's able to talk to other girls (him being shy and quiet anyway) says that he's less into them than he is to you. I'm sure you've noticed that you always have no problem talking to guys ... (read in full...)

A.   18 November 2009: As the previous poster says, I doubt that you would have contracted herpes from him, but if you have any kind of sexual contact with him again, ask him to use a condom. Better safe than sorry! This is a horrible affliction to have as it will alw... (read in full...)

A.   18 November 2009: After reading your post, I think you know that by the way he treats you he doesn't feel that much for you. I think you're more scared of never having a boyfriend again to break up with him. Don't sink to his level, you're better than that! He... (read in full...)

A.   18 November 2009: Well, lucky you! Whilst it may be flattering that so many girls are 'after you', you don't necessarily 'want' any of 2-4. You say that you LOVE 1 but how does she feel about you? I'd go with your heart rather than your 'little head' in this si... (read in full...)

Q.   Um, so, this is very embarassing. But I can't ask for advice anywhere else but on the internet, because, well, it IS way too embarassing. So, to get straight to the point, I've been dating a guy for 2 months. We've grown really close together, ...

A.   18 November 2009: Depending on time of the month, the amount of lubrication can be either too much or too little. Every woman is different, unless you've been taking any medication lately (which could be a contributing factor) this is normal FOR YOU...it will vary ... (read in full...)

A.   18 November 2009: I doesn't sound like 'love' to me. You wouldn't be sleeping with other women if it was love. Obviously you love the mother of your children, but wouldn't say you're 'In Love' with her. How does she react when you tell her you keep her around f... (read in full...)

Smelling sweet... or not!

A.   17 November 2009: Death?! Torture?! These are not the words of a guy who has just been 'hurt'...he sounds psychotic! Please, please leave him! You say you've nowhere to go, but what about a women's refuge? Not sure if you go to church, but someone in the clergy co... (read in full...)

A.   17 November 2009: All you can really do is be there for her if she does need to talk. Maybe invite her to come round and see you more often? Perhaps if she doesn't hang around with her 'entourage' as often she'll change back to her old positive self? Confide in her, ... (read in full...)
