Is there an age gap problem if girl 18 dates 25 yr old guy? Or are they about the same?

Q.   What is your view on an 18 year old dating a 24 or 25 year old, if their maturity level is fairly the same?...

A.   22 March 2011: I'm 18, my man is 24. We're mostly on the same level. The only issue I even think of is how my father would react, he just generally does not want any guy near me ever but last time I said I was interested in someone, only a year older than me, he ... (read in full...)

Why has he suddenly gone quiet?

Q.   Hello! I'll try and keep this brief! I've been chatting to a guy online for the last month, everyday. It first started off with 4 emails each everyday. Then as I've been off work it was more frequent, sometimes chatting for 5/6 hours etc. He ...

A.   17 March 2011: He could be going through something right now and possibly just doesn't have the strength to carry out a strong conversation with you. I've had this happen to me before, turns out there was a member of family in hospital. Or he could very well ... (read in full...)

I'm a virgin and sex is daunting!

Q.   I am 19 years old and i am still a virgin. I am ready to finally have sex but i find it very daunting and being that intimate with someone is rather scary. I have someone i would like to be my first but i keep avoiding it because of this. How ca...

A.   17 March 2011: Even after the first time this still happens to a lot of us. If he knows this is how you feel and is still there, I think he is willing to wait until you feel comfortable about it. If he does leave, then maybe it's for the best that you di... (read in full...)

If you're single, do you have a problem with messing around with a person that's in a relationship?

Q.   I've had a theme this year of hooking up with girls that have boyfriends. Obviously, if I know, I don't really pursue anything... she cheated on him, why not on me, right? However, that won't stop me from messing around with those girls. What...

A.   16 March 2011: Well 2 men before have completely left out that they had girlfriends when they kissed me or something, and I felt absolutely awful about it. I don't like knowing someone is being cheated on is going to get hurt/is being hurt. I would hate to imagi... (read in full...)

A.   16 March 2011: Well I have that same site so I know haha. I understand the hiding thing.. Maybe that friend who sent the message DOES know something but she's not saying? I personally say just take the plunge. To me, having been through this, in online and i... (read in full...)

A.   16 March 2011: Really this is just a case of going for it. You'll be fine, just build up the courage, they're just a few words. I used to be scared to tell a person I liked them or wanted to be with them, in case of rejection, but if they rejected me I was sad ... (read in full...)

Q.   hey everyone i need help, My x i want him back so bad Me and him always have been perfect for eachother and he just makes me so happy but my mom and friends don't know why, they say he treats me really bad and stuff but all guys mess up sometime...

A.   16 March 2011: Whilst all guys and girls do make mistakes, this is a bit vague, but if your friends and mother says he treats you badly, you could be blinded by your feelings for him. If you are sure of being with him and you feel that he loves you, not jus... (read in full...)

My friend is dating a guy who does bad things

Q.   Hi, im 14 and my best friend is dating a guy that isn't a very good influence. I know he does drugs, smokes and drinks and i know she does to. I don't really want her to be with him because he is such a bad influence and i don't want her to be ...

A.   16 March 2011: To be honest, you can tell her how you feel and that you don't want her to be pressured.. but from experience of my own and my friends, she'll probably do what she wants to, even if deep down she doesn't actually want to, and likely later regret it ... (read in full...)

What is he doing on facebook?

Q.   Help. My boyfriend of 5 months is constantly adding 'random young girls' on facebook. Since January he has added 100 girls. As soon as he adds them he removes them from his wall, so it looks like he never uses facebook. He never writes on his wall ...

A.   16 March 2011: It does seem like something fishy is going on, even though it seems quite vague. You should confront him and demand a proper explanation if he tries to make up some story you find hard to believe. You don't trust him but to be honest neither w... (read in full...)

Should I go to my ex's house and tell his family he cheated on me?

Q.   What should I do? are my friends right? ? My ex boyfriend cheated on me, betrayed my trust and my love for him. I loved him so much and he hurt me and lied to my face over and over. He told me he doesn't want a relationship and wan...

A.   16 March 2011: Unless the family start phoning you up and bad mouthing you for some form of lie, I'd leave it. Though giving him things back may be good to get everything to do with him out of your life. Or you could just sell the stuff he gave you, or give... (read in full...)

Do people put too much weight on the institution of marriage, and too little value on the PERSON they marry?

Q.   I sometimes worry when I see a young person "pushing" for marriage, and seeing marriage as the ultimate goal in a relationship, while worrying little about the "issues" that exist within the relationship and on building a healthy relationship and ...

A.   16 March 2011: Your points are very valid, I'm actually quite put off of marriage due to the way it's now treated mostly. I make it quite clear that I don't want marriage and if I ever do it will be after years in a committed trusting relationship. If some... (read in full...)

A.   16 March 2011: He seems a bit too private considering how long you have known him, and insensitive with the comments on your body entirely which I hope you try not to take to heart because he shouldn't be doing it at all. It doesn't seem wrong that you don't l... (read in full...)

A.   16 March 2011: Really, just ask her if you'd like to seriously meet up, have you webcam chatted or anything? Would probably be helpful to be sure you both are who you say you are. Faking happens far too often. For the liking girl thing, it could very well be ... (read in full...)

A.   15 March 2011: Well for one, he sounds like he has bad anger issues. Second, you should never have the man you're supposed to be loved by, say such horrible things, and CERTAINLY not when you have low self esteem. This could be weed related but it affects othe... (read in full...)

A.   15 March 2011: I'm afraid you have to straight up tell him to stop, it's not right of him when he knows you like him AND he has a woman. He's acting inappropriately towards you, playing with your emotions. Of course it's not good on the girlfriend's emotions eith... (read in full...)
