| | *een there Now over it's profile:At 64 yo I've been in a number of relationships and gone thru a lot of life's experiences. We all have rocky times in our lives but I have done my best with each instance and am the happiest and most successful person I know. I am upbeat and optimistic, and always try to make others feel the same. I really enjoy seeing someone shine, especially a young person with true talent.
I live in Los Angeles and am on the liberal side. I am a little more accepting of some predicaments than other DQ helpers. As for spirituality, I am agnostic and live purely by the Golden Rule...Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This very simply covers EVERYTHING!
In 2015 I had shoulder surgery (rotator cuff), which resulted in my left arm being tied to my side, 24/7 for the next month. I was mostly at home and spending a lot of time browsing the internet. I found Dear Cupid and - disappointed by the way some people were letting themselves be treated so poorly - decided to post some answers. I discovered that I was giving the questions much more thought than if just reading them. So this has become a matter of personal growth for me as well as extending help to others. Depending on what's going on in my life I get on here and read questions sporadically, and answer only a minority of them. If I read but don't answer a question it is because either 1) I don't feel I have any good advice to give or add, or 2) the info provided in the question isn't sufficient for me to make a judgement.

Q. I dunno if this is the right place to ask this question but here goes... I'm a motorcyclist and I'm impulsive and crave the thrill of speed.I had another accident today... This must be my fifth and it looks like I have completely torn my rotator ...
A. 11 December 2017: You especially shouldn't be riding a motorcycle if you have little control of one arm.
This is all very easy...sell the motorcycle and don't buy another. Get a cheap car, ride share or find another way to get to work.
It takes more discipline ... (read in full...)
First time sex was this normal?
Q. I had sex for the first time and I noticed it wasn't that comfortable. As it was my first, I assumed it was just a matter of getting used to it. However at one point, it really hurt and was uncomfortable around my bum which I wasn't sure about. L...
A. 11 December 2017: Try a Google search for "first time sex pain." It'll bring up over 3 million links. So yes, it is normal. Take a look at a few of these links and they'll enlighten you as to what's happening with you. Don't worry...it'll get much better! ... (read in full...)

A. 8 December 2017: Yes, this is peculiar...not just the massage...I am more surprised that on a first date he would bring up marriage and having a child. He sounds like he is desperate to get this done, especially as you are 40 and getting toward the end of time ... (read in full...)

A. 7 December 2017: When the father of someone you think you love dies, you can't be too busy to pay that person some attention. She lost one of the most important people in the world, needed your support at one of the darkest times in her life, and you were "too busy" ... (read in full...)

A. 7 December 2017: Why is his daughter dictating his social life? Either the guy is a wuss (a weak person) or he is using his daughter as an excuse to break up with you. Most likely, he is being a wuss. His daughter is probably going to continue to run his life and ... (read in full...)

A. 6 December 2017: Most important, don't try to get involved with your teacher. In most countries, he would lose his job for even being suspected of having an affair with a student.

A. 30 November 2017: A high percentage of men would like to have a threesome with their wife or girlfriend and another woman. Guys get mouthy when they drink and say things that maybe they'd like to do but have no expectations of ever doing. So I don't think your guy ... (read in full...)
Fallen for my priest. Help!

A. 30 November 2017: Crushes are difficult to get over. Personally, I think it is OK to fantasize about him, just as you or any of us might fantasize about a movie or television celebrity. I believe the Church says it is OK to be gay or lesbian as long as you don't ... (read in full...)

Q. Do you think there’s any hope of a relationship going back to normal after swinging? My husband and I have tried it - yes we had a lot of fun - but the lifestyle isn’t for me. When I tell him I want to stop we fight because he doesn’t want to stop. ...
A. 29 November 2017: I don't see much of a gap between rape and - in your case - being forced to have sex with someone you don't want to have sex with. Ask him how would he feel if you conditioned your marriage on him having regular sex with other men or women he ... (read in full...)

A. 28 November 2017: If he is giving it to you, it would be peculiar if he is not looking at your facial expressions, which help tell him if he's getting the job done or not. If he closes his eyes when you are giving it to him or it is mutual, it could well be due to ... (read in full...)

A. 27 November 2017: You really want your first time to be with someone you love, not some guy who your broke up with and now he merely tells you he wants to have sex with you. Probably every guy at school wants to have sex with you...Why would you want to have your ... (read in full...)

A. 17 November 2017: No worries. Believe me, you'll be a fast learner once you get a girlfriend with whom you can practice regularly. You just ask her what she'd like to do and have done to her. Communication is the key. Sex is not like basketball or some sport ... (read in full...)
