Q.   Hello there, I am in a bit of a sticky situation. I'll just dive right in. I have mostly guy friends. I never really seem to get along with girls, so most of my best friends are guys. My boyfriend of ten months is totally fine with this, never ...

A.   29 June 2012: Hey, it sounds to me like your friend might be either emotionally dependant on you or confuses admiration with a crush. How old is this guy? He's probably battling with hormones and allsorts at his age. I would tell him you see him as a little ... (read in full...)
