A.   27 February 2009: I used to have a friend like this who did it to me all throughout high school! It was so annoying, and frustrating. I would think of a great idea, so I would share it with her out of excitement- after all, that is what friends do right? But then she ... (read in full...)

A.   19 February 2009: If he is with you for the right reasons (non materalistic reasons) then he wont care how smart or not smart you are. It is as simple as that really. Only a shallow and pretencious guy would dump you just because you dont use big words when you ... (read in full...)

I am feeling very hurt, upset and anxious and don't know what to do.

Q.   Help. I met a guy over the internet who lives in NSW. I live in Perth. We seemed to get along really well. He then started sending me pics of his lower private parts and wanted to know what I was wearing etc and wanted intimate pics of me. At first ...

A.   19 February 2009: He is all about control and bullying. Hes an internet predator. You might think that sounds exstreme and only happens to teenage girls with old men, but it happens to anyone, any age, and its happening to you. He 'groomed' you on the net, to make ... (read in full...)

A.   17 February 2009: Yes that is cheating!!! I dont know if he physically did anything with her (although I would NOT be suprised if he did, considering what you have told me hes said and done already), but the point is what he has been doing with this girl is tota... (read in full...)

Is playing hard-to-get the best way to earn a friendship?

Q.   I met this guy at the mall and we started talking. He asked me out on a date, now he doesnt have a car so ive had to go pick him up the times we've gone out. He is about to turn 22 and he is still in his party/club/drinking stage. I know he ...

A.   29 January 2009: Even though you may not want a relationship now, I think continuing to see him would be a bad idea. This is because, you clearly do have feelings for him- you didnt just have sex with him because you wanted to fulfil your sexual needs. So ... (read in full...)

A.   18 January 2009: I dont think there is anything wrong in what you did really. You did what you had to do to get proof. I know its always hard to truly believe someones cheating unless you have real proof. Its not terrible what you did- although your husband ... (read in full...)

A.   18 January 2009: Alot of people find it hard to tell soemone its over- its a pretty horrible thing to have to do. So maybe thats why your bf hasnt offically said its over? I know it hurts more in him not telling you if its over or not directly, as its hard to get ... (read in full...)

Q.   hi everyone. I'm 24 years old and I've had a crush on a close friend for awhile. He is 33 and recently divorced. I finally worked up the nerve to share my feelings a few weeks ago, with some help from my friend Pinot Grigio. And, the results ...

A.   6 January 2009: I cant say for sure if hes just using you for sex, in other words a FWB, but it does seem like it is probably that to me. However, whatever you call it, the fact is, you are having the physical side of a relatiuonship with this guy, minus all the ... (read in full...)

A.   6 January 2009: I can understand why you want him to not talk and see his ex. I think generally everyone gets atleast a bit jealous if there bf/gf still has some contact with their ex. And I understand it must be even harder for you to deal with him seeing h... (read in full...)

How do I go about meeting her?

Q.   This girl i've never met, but we text/email often, seen pics of her, etc. I want to meet her but dunno how to say it. It'll be so awkward. How do i go about it? And what can we do? She does live an hour away so goin for coffee isn't worth it. Lol...

A.   16 December 2008: You could go out for lunch. It doesnt have to be anything overly exciting to make it worth it. As for how to tell her that you would like to meet her, you could just say that you have really enjoyed talking to her and would love to catch up in pe... (read in full...)

A.   6 December 2008: I understand your anger towards this guy. Him pressuring her for sex is in no way ok or acceptable. But, geting someone to hurt him is not the answer. Two wrongs dont make a right remember. The best thing to do is to tell her what this guy is real... (read in full...)

Q.   My 18 yr. old daughter's boyfriend likes to come over to visit, which we do allow but he comes over late when he works. We don't allow him to be here late when we have to go to sleep because we don't think it's appropriate for them to be left alone ...

A.   24 November 2008: When I was 18, my bf would come over really late at night/early in the mornings too. And he would stay for so long. At first my parents would stay awake until they heard his car leave. But after a while they got tired and couldnt cope staying up ... (read in full...)

My boyfriend, his online dating voyeurism, My problem...Can you help?

A.   19 November 2008: I dont think you have anything at all to worry about. Obviously your gf has matured and come to the realisation that looks dont really matter so much- what matters is who the person truly is. And im sure, although you are not black and overly ... (read in full...)

A.   17 November 2008: It is never ok for someone to take their anger/bad mood/stress out on someone. This is a very unhealthy relationship when that happens. Its not ok and can haev so many bad effects on the victim. And it also is stopping the person who is takin... (read in full...)

He wants to watch me having sex with another man! What does this say about him??

Q.   My boyfriend wants to watch me have sex with another man. This is disgusting. Of course I won't do it. The question is, what does this indicate about a man's character, or even, future? [Added from the same user] Does my boyfriend's obsessio...

A.   8 November 2008: I think it says alot about his character. If hes willing to let you have sex with another guy, and wathc it, then it suggests he probably thinks he should be able to sleep with another female. How would you feel about that? Probably not good id ... (read in full...)

A.   3 November 2008: I think he probably took you putting the date off to another weekend as a 'sign' you werent interested. Too often people tell someone they dont like they are 'busy' this weekend, but are avialable next weekend. Its supposed to be the 'nice/gentle' ... (read in full...)

A.   1 November 2008: Im pretty sure it will still hurt. The lube may make it more bearable, but it would probably still hurt. Before you even think about having anal search, you should talk to a trusted professional such as a doctor about the risks of doing it. Ther... (read in full...)

A.   31 October 2008: I dont think there is anything wrong with calling your partner once a day. In fact, I think its sweet! Ive gone out with guys who liked there 'space'. They would only wanna talk maybe once or twice a week. I found this hard to cope with because when ... (read in full...)

A.   31 October 2008: If I was you, I'd find that a bit weird and uncomfortable too. Ive been brought up in a family where its not ok for the opposite sex to see each other naked unless they are in a relationship type of thing. So in my opinion, thats inappropiate. I... (read in full...)
