A.   14 February 2007: He's doing this because you are his backup - the person he goes to when he is out of options. I know this is probably not what you want to hear, but I dont believe he goes back to you because he loves you, but because he thinks you will take him ... (read in full...)

Is my boy too young to start puberty??

A.   11 February 2007: I agreed with what Ask Eve wrote before I even read it. A girl telling a boy "I want to have sex with you" would be a one way ticket into her pants. A guy telling a girl "I want to have sex with you" comes across as childish and unromantic. You are ... (read in full...)

A.   11 February 2007: Wow! You sound SOOOOOO insecure! No, I dont believe there are any guys out there looking to be a dog chained to a lamppost. And if there are I kinda think they'd get sick of it really fast. Are you so lacking in trust that you need all of these ... (read in full...)

A.   11 February 2007: You are clearly not ready to have sex with him. He, being a teenage boy may say that you dont love him if you wont have sex with him. Don't give in to such ultimatums. If he truly loves you, he wont pressure you into anything you aren't ready to do.... (read in full...)

A.   10 February 2007: I think you're way too good for her to be honest, and that you deserve someone who treats you with love and respect, not as her personal doormat which she can wipe her feet on whenever she feels it convenient to her. I mean what kind of person does ... (read in full...)

A.   1 February 2007: My advice would be not to act so insecure. If you have negative feelings, this could lead to the relationship turning sour, and then he may well break up with you. At the moment it seems that everything is going nice and slow and he has reassured ... (read in full...)

A.   1 February 2007: Agree 100% with Eyeswideopen. Children are happier and in a more stable environment with happily separated parents more that with miserable ones. It's clear that you have no love for him, and he has obviously been unsatisfied by the relationship, so ... (read in full...)

A.   31 January 2007: Well, to be perfectly honest, the problem is quite simple. You want a proper relationship, and he deosnt, as he has told you. As far as I can see, he is in it for the sex and nothing much else. If you are willing to be what you arranged with him (in ... (read in full...)

A.   28 January 2007: Well, the first thing is dont just kiss her, then start fingering her. Make sure you do plenty of foreplay so she is wet first. It probably hurt last time as you were a bit too eager and did it while she was still dry down there. Do lots of kissing ... (read in full...)

Q.   hi i have a girlfriend but she doesn't hug me or anything and pretends that we are not going out wen we are at school plz help...

A.   27 January 2007: She's immature...not surprising as she is not even a teenager. She's not ready for a boyfriend, but can't admit it to herself, so she hides it. If I were you, I would tell her that she should either be open and honest about your relationship with ... (read in full...)

A.   27 January 2007: It's not like he forgot, and not like he didn't make an effort. Personally I would prefer the effort, as it is more of a sign of love than anything he bought in a store.... (read in full...)

A.   27 January 2007: Well, not necessarily. I would say if you have never had sex, and this is therefore your only sexual experience that you've ever had, then that may be the reason that you a) wanted to do something with him, and b) masturbate over this now. I wou... (read in full...)

A.   26 January 2007: I have to say, your problem is major paranoia about your husbands ex. Remember, he is with YOU now, so why should you give two hoots as to whether she sees the pictures or not. What do you think is the worst that will happen if she does? Your ... (read in full...)

A.   25 January 2007: Well, to be honest, I'm not suprised that he isnt in love with you. I mean you've only been out one time! I think you are confusing love with liking someone. He must like you or he wouldnt go out with you, but he doesnt know you well enough to love ... (read in full...)
