A devastating break-up with a bi-polar woman sparked my current fascination with psychology, mind-games, intentions and everything the quirky fandango that is "relationships" entails. I'm a bit of an over-thinker, enjoy playful disagreements just for interesting conversation and will speak my mind on this site whether you like what I have to say or not.

I don't offer advice, just my opinion and right, wrong or deluded, I'll give you my opinion whether you're 13 or 70...

I know all too well that love can blind you, but the agony aunts can help you see things clearly, however there's no guarantee that you'll like what you see...

So will you take the red pill or the blue pill...?

A.   8 March 2011: There's a reason he hasn't told his dad and I'm guessing it's because he is pretty sure he'll disapprove or worse... especially since different religions are involved here. Seems to me like you mostly want him to tell his dad about you as it'll... (read in full...)
