I try to give people honest opinions about situations, and give an unbiased balanced view of their options.

Some people may think I am harsh, but often a "softly softly" approach does not work, and a good dose of reality is needed.

My mate and I fancy the same guy but the rumor is that he likes her!

Q.   My mate and I fancy the same guy but there are rumors that he likes my mate. me and him are just friends and i dont want to ask him out myself. please help....

A.   27 October 2010: If he likes her and she likes him, then I dont think you stand a chance. I think you may just have to accept that this is a no-goer. How is it fair on your friend, to pursue a guy who likes her, with the intention of trying to make him like you... (read in full...)

Q.   My boyfriend and I feel we are ready to try to start a family in the next few months. We have just paid off some debt from my uni days and are looking now to rent a place (we currently live with his family). Our combined salaries are £40,000 a ...

A.   27 October 2010: OP, I am not against children one little bit. I want a husband and family when I am in a position to give them the best possible start in life. Maybe I am just old fashioned. I believe in having a strong commitment before children come along, a... (read in full...)

A.   26 October 2010: He has a history with getting women pregnant and then leaving them. Why did you think he would be any different to you? The ex is not your problem. If she wants to cause him trouble, let her. What you have to worry about is the problems he can c... (read in full...)

Boyfriend doesn't kiss, want to hug or have kids..what is up with this?

Q.   My boyfriend and I have been together for almost a year now. Throughout the time we've been together, I've learned several things about him. 1. He won't kiss me until the day we get married, if we do. 2. He hates hugs. He'll hug me when we're ...

A.   26 October 2010: I dont think there is anything you can do about this. He sounds like he isnt ready for any kind of romantic or sexual relationship. He just isnt ready to have a girlfriend. Or to talk about babies, or to talk about marriage. He isnt even an adult... (read in full...)

A.   26 October 2010: Its not so much about settling in....but if you plan on being together for the rest of your lives, and getting married (you havent mentioned this, and personally, that is what I would do first, just my opinion) do you really never want to have time ... (read in full...)

A.   26 October 2010: Is it just the money problem? I am 27, live at home and am currently doing a PhD. I dont have a big wage coming in, and it really is a tight squeeze. I contribute to the household bills. I do the food shopping and also help if Mum needs it wit... (read in full...)

A.   26 October 2010: I think before you start a family you should spend some time living on your own as a couple. At the moment you are living with his family, and that is a VERY different experience to having your own home, paying your own bills and doing your own ... (read in full...)

A.   25 October 2010: Go to work, tell your boss that you are scared to go home. Say your boyfriend threatened you with a knife. Call your parents from work and ask them if you can stay with them. Talk to your parents and then call the police. This guy sounds l... (read in full...)

A.   25 October 2010: I agree with KC100 Working in London is expensive - I dont know where you live, but when I have to go into london on the train for work (Its about 45 mins on the train for me) it costs approx £40 for a day return if its a peak time train (before ... (read in full...)

A.   25 October 2010: The fact that you are giving your boyfriend hand jobs, means that you ARE in a sexual relationship. That is part of sex. It is SEX. He orgasms. Its sex. Just to remind you ALL sexual acts are illegal until you are 16. This is the age of consent ... (read in full...)

A.   25 October 2010: Call me old fashioned, but there are so many red flags and warning bells in what you have just said... Firstly, you have been "dating" for three months, but have never met him? How does that work exactly? To date, you have to go out, do things t... (read in full...)

Q.   I have a bit of a problem at the moment. Me and my partner have been together for thirteen years or so now and we have a really good relationship. I mean sex is not always regular due to having three children and both or us working, but he has a ...

A.   24 October 2010: The whole point is, it is a fantasy, and that is how it should stay. Essentially he is asking you to have sex with another woman, against your wishes and that is WRONG whatever way you look at it. The thought of another woman pawing me, makes me... (read in full...)

A.   23 October 2010: I agree with blonde30s - at 14 you are far too young to be having sex! Are you ready to become a father? Is your girlfriend the same age as you? If she is, then she is also not emotionally, mentally OR PHYSICALLY ready for sex. She may thi... (read in full...)

A.   22 October 2010: He is FAR too young for you. He has a crush, big time. You are almost an adult, he has just gone to secondary school. You are at very different stages of development both physically, mentally and emotionally. Think back to how mature you were ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi everyone. I am hurting at the moment. My boyfreind has broken my trust and has done teh worst thing any one could ever do to me. I though he was a good guy. I told him about my past sexual abuse by father and he told his famly about it. I can ...

A.   21 October 2010: maybe he did it because he didnt know how to handle the information? When someone we love tells us that they have been hurt in such a terrible way, often it is difficult to handle and comprehend. Its not just a piece of information, it brings w... (read in full...)

Q.   I don't know what to do. Im completely in love with my 27 year old teacher (im 16, so 11 years difference) Yes we have our days when we don't really get along but I guess every relationship has these. He means the world to me and I know I mean the ...

A.   20 October 2010: First of all, by having any type of "relationship" with you he is breaking the law. he is your teacher, not your friend, or lover, or boyfriend. Whilst you are under his care, he is essentially YOUR PARENT. Got it. If you want to be a teacher,... (read in full...)

Sexually frustrated... again...

A.   16 October 2010: Just a suggestion.... if he is horney in the morning and masturbates then, perhaps suggest sex in the morning when he has had a good nights sleep and is less tired? You want sex when you want it, not when HE wants it? Maybe he is more of a mornin... (read in full...)

Does this teacher feel the same way for me?

Q.   My teacher is from america and is actually rather handsome. He's only 23 and im just nearly 16. At first we never talked but after a while we got used to each other and now talk an awful lot. He's even offered to let me use his house when i do a ...

A.   15 October 2010: I have to agree with Caring Guy on this one. Teacher/Pupil relationships are 100% against the rules and illegal. A teacher can be a best struck off, and at worst jailed, and put on the sex offenders register for it. You had an inappropri... (read in full...)

A.   11 October 2010: As someone who has just lost a family member to terminal cancer, I honestly do not think you understand what will happen to the man you love in the coming months. He will not be well enough to have sex, let alone have a child and will need all... (read in full...)

A.   6 October 2010: Run away as fast as you can in the opposite direction. I get the impression this one likes the things she cant have, then once she has them, she doesnt want them any more. DO you want to be with someone who can turn on you so quickly? Really?... (read in full...)

A.   5 October 2010: This is what being a grown up is all about. Sometimes for work or whatever there are times when we have to be away from our partners. Trust. Its only 4 weeks. Yes you will miss him, but its not the end of the world. You had this booked long bef... (read in full...)

A.   5 October 2010: I hate to be the one to bring a reality check to this situation, but that last paragraph scares me. "What do i do he's asked me to marry him, but he dont know i have kids and am nearly getting a divorce from my husband. " Now when taken into ... (read in full...)

Unrequited love......

Q.   What do you think of one sided or unrequitted love? Well it doesn't have to be "I love him and he doesn't" but "I love him and he doesn't know about it. I can't tell him because I am married or so on." Have you had a similar experience? How ...

A.   30 September 2010: Yes. And I haven't dealt with it. When he says he cant give you what you want because he isnt the wonderful person you think he is. Its impossible to just turn your feelings off. If you find an answer, let me know. ... (read in full...)

A.   27 September 2010: From a fellow teachers point of view, you have already crossed the line of appropriate behaviour. NO teacher regardless of sexual preference should kiss, touch, hug ANYTHING with a pupil. You have to remember you are 10 years older than this kid... (read in full...)

A.   26 September 2010: You need to tell him that doing foreplay whilst in the same room as other people is not only disrespectful to you, it is also very disrespectful to them! Imagine how they would feel if they were NOT asleep and had to listen to you! Ughh. Horrible... (read in full...)

A.   25 September 2010: This is pretty disgusting behaviour to be honest. Do you have multiple bathrooms in your house? Maybe use the other one, and leave the smelly one for him. If this happens again, (and only if you know you are not expecting guests. Leave it. Just... (read in full...)

A.   23 September 2010: Be sensible. Bottom line is, University tutors are under exactly the same rules as teachers. Just because you are "legal" with regards to sex, doesnt make a romantic relationship appropriate. No tutor is allowed to have a relationship wit... (read in full...)

How can I let my crush know I like him without being to pushy?

A.   22 September 2010: Sadly, in this day and age that doesnt always happen! lol I did exactly the same thing. I waited for him to make the first move. And I waited, and I hinted and I got all flustered and red. Unfortunately he was shy and I was shy. Which meant th... (read in full...)

A.   17 September 2010: It's because he is a selfish arse. He doesnt care about you. If he did he would wear a condom. If he had ANY feelings for you he would be sensible and wear a condom. If you get pregnant, it will be your problem, not his and he will walk away. ... (read in full...)

Glitter on boyfriend's face!

A.   14 September 2010: I think you have overreacted to this so much. If it was a single piece of glitter it could have come from ANYWHERE. Literally, on the wind, in the air, if he touched a table then rubbed his nose. Anywhere. He probably didnt even know it was there. ... (read in full...)

A.   12 September 2010: To be honest, I think anyone in that situation would have been a bit freaked out if they were a virgin. It was a blind date, a first date, and you went straight into something very heavy! That would have been enought to put anyone off the situ... (read in full...)

A.   11 September 2010: I think you are just going to have to move on from this. Yes it was unkind, stupid and cruel, but getting even more upset isnt going to change that. This guy obviously has serious issues with his mental stability and morals. Stay well clear. ... (read in full...)

A.   11 September 2010: He may not be wanting to get too attached to you right now, because lets face it you are going away for three months, and there is no guarantee you will even want to date him when you come back. He isnt your boyfriend, he has no obligati... (read in full...)

A.   9 September 2010: No. This would not be an appropriate meeting of teacher/pupil. Regardless of your age, outside of school that would be classed as inappropriate conduct with a pupil, because he is your teacher. The fact you also have a crush on him, which he... (read in full...)
