A.   4 August 2011: I agree with Birdy. You want a serious, long term commited relationship with this guy, including moving in together. Does this dream include marriage or just living together? If you get married, she will be your mother in law - could you cope... (read in full...)

A.   25 July 2011: I agree with eyes. If he really likes you then he will want to be around you even if you dont give him oral sex. The fact that he hasn't made a move to make you 'official' in 7 months suggests he probably sees you as an easy way to get off. You... (read in full...)

A.   23 June 2011: I agree with Battista. He has no rights to ask you to his sisters wedding. This is his sister's wedding. SHE and her fiance are the people who decide who goes to their wedding, not your boyfriend. Guestlists would have been drawn up months... (read in full...)

A.   23 May 2011: I think he has just got good manners. It does sound like you are perhaps slightly jealous of his little sister tho? Because you are so close in age, do you feel like she is taking away his attention a little? If you cannot deal with this, let him ... (read in full...)
