A.   19 April 2010: Ex's are bad news. He dumped you without warning last time, so what says that if something goes wrong again then he won't walk away? Look forward....not back.... (read in full...)

He has time for his friends and revision but none for me...

Q.   Lately, my boyfriend has been really confusing me. He keeps telling me that he wants to see me, but I always feel as though he doesn't. We used to see eachother a lot - his excuse is that "people change". He tells me he needs to do revision as h...

A.   17 April 2010: Sorry, but it sounds like this relationship is over and he is too chicken to tell you. If he thinks you're boring why would he want to be with you, and more importantly why would you want to be with him? If he can't make time for you and puts you ... (read in full...)

Q.   The guy I like kissed me he is one grade higher than me and i kinda felt it coming. I like him a lot but the thing is that he has stopped all the usual. All that happened on a Friday the next week he stopped walking me home and instead of walking ...

A.   18 March 2010: Hmmm, perhaps the fact that he is a grade higher is the problem here. I mean, you said he acted all serious in front of his friend, and for some reason it'd look bad that he was going around with someone from a grade lower. Either that or he thought ... (read in full...)

Boyfriend spread a secret around school

Girls is it confidence, appearance, attitude; what?

Q.   Girls: does confidence matter more if the guy is generally seen as "unattractive"? I have good days where i'm super cocky, other days where i'm almost shy. As confident as I get and as much time as i spend on my appearance and personality, I get ...

A.   17 March 2010: Agree with Angzw. Cocky and confident are two VERY different things. If you're cocky you come across as being an ass, whereas confidence is a great quality. If your two traits are shy and occasionally cocky, then here's why you're not getting ... (read in full...)

A.   28 October 2008: Jaime90, what the HELL are you talking about. In no way is it alright to go through your partners phone without permission - this is an invasion of privacy. Would you go through their diary too? This is why people need TRUST in a relationship. I ... (read in full...)

I feel so completely insecure sexually with her now, and suspicious of her reasons of being with me.

A.   27 October 2008: You're right. Love ISN'T enough to make a relationship work. There has to be trust, security, communication and all the rest of it. You are missing some key components here and to be honest, I think not ending it now would just set you up for more ... (read in full...)

I am so sick of being the only single one in the group!

A.   23 October 2008: The reason you are alone is because 'slagging' yourself around as you put it has given you a reputation that no guy looking for a relationship would want to deal with. You either need to find someone 'out of the loop' who doesn't know you at all ... (read in full...)

A.   12 October 2008: In a way I sympathise - in a way I don't. If you consider yourselves married, good for you. On the other hand, you are both children and both live under your parents roofs - ergo you have to live by their rules. Stop making such a big deal out of ... (read in full...)
