Hi im Bobbyjo, Im 29 years old from South England. I work full time for government but have just finshed a counselling course at college.

Ive had alot of experience with helping my friends with breakups, my familys divorce, my friends sexual hang-ups and also my own problems. And Ive had more than my fair share of that!

Im currently single living with my 2 friends (who are also single) and havent had a relationship for over a year now and am very happy just the way things are.
