A.   25 August 2008: Hey, If you said that you'd understand if he didn't want to contact you anymore, and he said thanks, then I think he's intending to not contact you anymore. You should just try to get over him and not be so clingy. Maybe he's avoiding you on ... (read in full...)

Q.   I met this guy on a dating site and after exchanging photos and mails constantly,we are both in love and we will be meeting very soon.My only worry is that he talks about sex everyday and even tells me that he loves it to death. He also tells me...

A.   2 November 2007: I agree with the others - you should be worried, because he's probably just going to use you for sex. Never completely trust internet dating sites either. Believe me on this one, I've done that myself once before, and never again. You'll just get ... (read in full...)

A.   2 November 2007: Don't worry about the pain, as Mistify said, that's normal when you first start having sex. Eventually things will get better. But even if you've been having sex for awhile, it can still really hurt if you're not "in the mood." That's the whole po... (read in full...)

A.   2 November 2007: I think you should just be happy that you're together. Don't dwell on the past, everyone makes mistakes and no-one can redo anything they regret. Always live for the present. Everything turned out for the best, and as long as you both love each ... (read in full...)

A.   1 November 2007: I agree with everyone else, what you're doing is wrong. Church or no church, it's still wrong. Don't jump at any chance to have sex, it's indecent. And a bit promiscuous.... (read in full...)

Q.   There is this new girl at my work (retail). She has been there 2 weeks now. The first thing I said to my coworker (and one of my best friends) upon seeing her was that she was the cutest girl I've ever seen. We (the new girl and myself) talk ...

A.   1 November 2007: Yeah, you should go for it! What have you got to lose? I think most girls get flattered if they know guys are interested in them. And if for some reason she isn't interested, you can always say you meant so that you can do things as friends. :P... (read in full...)

Q.   OK, last night I broke up with my bf of 4.5 yrs, we have'nt really been happy for the last yr or so as we lost our spark and both of us did nothing to help our relationship until it was too late. Last night, I sat him down and told him we are ...

A.   31 October 2007: Yeah, I think it's normal to feel really lost after breaking up. Especially as you were with your boyfriend for so long. Actually, it'd be a bit strange if you didn't feel lost - it'd be as if you never cared for him at all. So yeah, feeling lost is ... (read in full...)

I feel totally rejected - couldn't we have discussed it?

Q.   Was dating a guy and we got on famously, walks, meals, fun nights out together and we really clicked. We fancied each other quite a lot and then after a few weeks made arrangements to sleep together. Anyway I've always found that when I sleep wi...

A.   28 October 2007: I agree, talk to your boyfriend about it. Try to get him to ask the girls to leave him alone, or at least tone it down a bit. He probably does like all the attention - who wouldn't? Just make sure he doesn't start flirting back. Ooooooo, maybe if ... (read in full...)

A.   28 October 2007: Try to find out if he wants it back. If he does, give it to his friend to pass it on. If he doesn't want it back, then sell the MP3 and sivler chain on ebay, and give the rest to charity. Unless you want the MP3 - personally I also see that as just ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi Whats are your views on marriage vs cohabitation. Is there any need to get married? Is marriage putting your money where your mouth is or am I just old fashioned? Thanks...

A.   28 October 2007: I don't see anything wrong with just living together rather than getting married. It saves a lot of hassle later if for some reason something goes wrong and one of you wants to end it. I think it also gives you a bit of a taste of what being married ... (read in full...)

A.   26 October 2007: I think you should hang in there a little longer. If it's necessary for him to talk to his parents first, and you're in love with him, then it may be worth waiting until he's ready to talk to them. Maybe wait a while and see how things go or if ... (read in full...)
