My periods are irregular; I've discerned a band of coagulated blood. What could it have been?

Q.   Im 14 Years Old And Get Really Weird Periods. They Come At Random Times, Are Sometimes Heavy, Last For A Few Weeks Then When They Go Away They Come Back Only About A Week Later! Once when i was under alot of stress a little bean shaped thing ca...

A.   6 December 2008: The bean-shaped thing is just a blood clot, and is natural if you are having heavy flow at that point in the month. No worries! It's just blood that would come out anyway, congealed together. Irregular periods are also normal for girls your ... (read in full...)

Q.   I plan on transferring to another college for the spring but I am not sure exactly what college I want to go to. I haven't spoken with an advisor yet because I want to have my mind made up. Is it possible that they can fax my transcript to four ...

A.   5 December 2008: I would think so, but ask your advisor about it to be sure. Good luck =]... (read in full...)

My boyfriend finds it very difficult to attach himself to anything or anyone... will this change with time?

Q.   My bf's parents are divorced and he doesn't attach himself to anything or anyone saying he doesn't want to get hurt... he is not open to me.. it's been 2 years we have been seeing each other... Will this affect my future with him?...

A.   5 December 2008: It's possible. Remember though, the two of you are still young and there's time ahead for you to change his mind. I'm not saying you should actively try to prove yourself to him. But show him through your actions that you are a trustworthy person ... (read in full...)

Drama!!

Q.   MY Fiance And I Have Been Dating For Little Over a year and we have major issues with his ex( daughters mother) interfering. sitting outside my house, following me around to the beauty salon, calling me, taking me to court for harassment, suing me, ...

A.   5 December 2008: I think his advice is pretty decent, actually. Giving her attention for her petty behavior is going to make her feel as if she's doing a good job screwing up your life...which appears to be her goal. Act like none of this gets to you and see if the ... (read in full...)

I'm not so worried about the marriage and kids part, but not wanting to live with me feels like an insult!

Q.   I'm 28yrs and my boyfriend of 3 years is 39. We've had our up and downs for over a year since he told me he doesnt want to re-marry, have any more kids or even live together! He says he's found his freedom and enjoys his own company now. Our ...

A.   5 December 2008: Something is not right in your relationship if you feel that you do not know this guy after three years. I would start there if I were you. Work on communicating with your boyfriend about why it is he doesn't want to get too close to you, to the ... (read in full...)

My ex's friend that I never met before seems to know all about me, could this mean he still has feelings for me??

Q.   Ok this has been playing on my mind and I could do with a bit of insight. Last weekend I went out in group which included my ex (we split up year and half but stayed friends) Some of the people we went out with were my ex's workmates that I had not ...

A.   5 December 2008: It's obvious your ex has talked about you at least. The fact that this guy was going to take the news you still like him back to your ex suggests that the friend has reason to believe your ex might want to hear this. Since this guy friend already ... (read in full...)

Should I see if we can become more than friends or do I just not pursue her at all?

Q.   I have a friend I knew from a year ago but never really kept in contact with until a week ago when we met up to go to a convention and now I find that I am taking an interest in her. When I asked her if she wanted to do something sometime she sai...

A.   5 December 2008: If you enjoy her company regardless of the romantic nature (or lack thereof) of the situation then hang out with her as friends and see what happens. If you don't want to waste time trying to win her over that is also understandable, as she doesn't ... (read in full...)

Oh Baby, I'm trying to concieve!!!

Q.   My Sweetie and I have been trying to concieve for about 4 months now, and we have had no luck. It makes me so sad everytime i see that negative sign or only one line on a preg test. I know it can take up to two year to get pregnant but we are both ...

A.   5 December 2008: Give it time. You are young and have many fertile years ahead of the both of you. You could also look into the methods of reading your monthly cycle to see when you are most fertile, and have lots of sex on those days, or see a doctor so they can ... (read in full...)

Can anyone tell me whether things work out if you get back with an ex - twice!

Q.   Hi - can anyone tell me whether things work out if you get back with an ex - twice! My partner and I had been together for 4 years when I ended the relationship - long story but I felt that we were at different points in our lives etc. He is also ...

A.   5 December 2008: What didn't work out in your relationship the first two times? if some or all of those factors have changed then you can try again with a good conscience. If nothing has changed then you are simply going back to something that you have already seen ... (read in full...)

Is it his dancing with other girls that makes me jealous, or just the fact he lied about it?

Q.   here goes, im dating a 26 yr old im 36, im not jealous well just a little. HE lives an hour away and some fridays we cant see each other cause of work. He likes to dance so he went dancing this friday to a spanish music club. I dont mind him going ...

A.   5 December 2008: I think you're right to be concerned if the dance involved him getting close to them, rubbing on them, etc. If he had been upfront with you about it it might be a different story but his hesitance to tell you indicates he knew there was something ... (read in full...)

I love her so much but she has turned spiteful and nasty.

Q.   I have been in a relationship for five years with a woman how i am deeply in love with; we have three children together. She has had various types of depression and we have had our ups and downs. But now she has changed loads she doesnt seem to ...

A.   5 December 2008: Please urge her to seek counseling. I don't know the time frame on how recently the two of your had your last child together, but she may be suffering from postpartum depression or something related. Even if she isn't, depression is a serious mental ... (read in full...)

There was instant attraction when we met, never told each other how we felt, e-mails now and then since,was this love at first sight, should I tell him?

Q.   I met a man over two years ago. I was still a student at university and he was a visiting filmmaker showing her film. I was a film student and was told a lot about him by a friend/professor of mine before meeting him. My professor thought we ...

A.   5 December 2008: Some people do believe in love at first sight. I think you have to know someone inside and out to love them completely. When you first see a person all you can judge on is your image of them (literally, what they look like) and the ideal you have of ... (read in full...)

Q.   i am visit visa in dubai,and my papers now is under process for working permit and to finally know i am pregnant but i am single and had boyfren here,can i still work here in dubai?...

A.   5 December 2008: You don't give too much to work with here =/ I'm assuming your worry is that Dubai might not allow you to work there if you are unmarried and pregnant? You would have to check their laws to figure that out, or ask someone who is already living there ... (read in full...)

Was he jealous about me keeping in touch with this other guy he knows?

Q.   I've being friends long distance more like a crush kinda thing with this guy I met 2 years ago in a meeting. He's military and in duty while I met him. We exchange emails and phone calls, well phone calls recently. When he was here in his duty there ...

A.   5 December 2008: It's possible, but maybe your crush just knows this other guy well enough to know how he is and that he would probably hit on you (which it sounds like he did) and got jealous over that. One way to find out for sure: ask him if he's bothered by the ... (read in full...)

How do I approach the situation without scaring him off?

Q.   Hi. Got a question. There's this guy Im getting closer to at uni. We've been chatting a lot lately and we're going out for food and stuff at the weekend. He added me on facebook ages ago, we've know eachother for months, but it's only the last ...

A.   5 December 2008: If you know any of his friends, you could casually ask them about it, but I'm guessing if you did you wouldn't have to ask here? Alternately, when you hang out with this guy, mention that you saw some of his photos on Facebook. "Wow! It looks like ... (read in full...)

A.   4 December 2008: If you haven't even married this guy yet and you are already concerned about the prospect of divorce, you may want to take another look at why you are marrying this man and what you expect out of the marriage (not in terms of material things but in ... (read in full...)

My PC is full of pictures of me and my girlfriend... now she's dumped me and I feel so alone.

Q.   I'm really depressed and upset. My girlfriend of 3 years, whom I met at college, dumped me a few weeks ago saying she wanted to be on her own. We met in college in our final years and although I fancied her I didn't make a move because I was go...

A.   4 December 2008: I'm sorry to hear this happened to you. "Time heals" is so often said that it's cliché, but there is truth to it as well. Unfortunately, nothing is going to make this situation instantly better for you...but you can make it easier on yourself... (read in full...)

She told me she would frequently hook up with her girlfriends and fool around with other guys!

Q.   Alright, well earlier today my girlfriend told me something that has been eating at me a fair bit. We only started dating about a month ago, and for close to a year before that she wasn't seeing any guys, wasn't interested in seeing guys, etc...

A.   4 December 2008: Like many other women in the 21st century, she has a past? Shocking! She has been honest with you. You may not like what you learned but at least she hasn't lied to you about it or tried to hide anything. What she has done before she met you is n... (read in full...)

Is he just letting me down gently?

Q.   I recently text a guy I am mad about to basically tell him how I feel. We have shared a lot of kisses in the past and he has always acted into me. I sent him a message asking if he wanted to come to my house and watch a dvd and stay over as I really...

A.   4 December 2008: 3 years is a long time to date someone but 7 months is a long time to be so hung up on it that he can't make up his mind whether he likes you or not. You may assume that if he is not really over his ex then some part of him still harbors hope that ... (read in full...)

First date went well... no call back!

Q.   First date went well.... no call back? I All, I met this guy online and we got on really well when we spoke over the phone. He asked me if I'd like to meet him and we agreed to meet up for some drinks on Saturday. The date went well, we...

Can this relationship last?

Q.   I am in a relationship with a man I was with years ago. Friends said I was crazy to try again. I never got over him. He is just the same as he use to be. I love him though. We never do anything I want to do. He drinks every day. He sleeps ...

A.   3 December 2008: It will last precisely as long as you are willing to put up with being taken for a fool and used for your money. Don't count on being able to change this guy, so if you aren't okay with letting him walk all over you like he seems to be doing you had ... (read in full...)

Now that I've lost the weight he wants me back!

Q.   My boyfriend broke up with me 4 months ago because I got fat. Now I've lost weight and he wants me back. I think if he loved me he would have stayed with me when I was overweight, so I'm hesitant. Should I get back with him? I love him, but am ...

A.   3 December 2008: If 20 lbs. weight gain was all it took then he "loved" you for what you look like and not you as a person--which isn't love at all. Don't get back together with this guy.... (read in full...)

I like him but he says he is "off women", what more can I do?

Q.   There is a guy at school that I really like and have for a while now and I feel like its becoming more, but probably just for me. I have gone out with him and few times and we have kissed and stuff but it hasn't gone too far. He always talked about ...

A.   3 December 2008: If he really wanted you, all it would take would be an expression of mutual interest from you to get the ball rolling on this one. Unfortunately, if you guys have "kissed and stuff" and he still hasn't tried to make the relationship any more ... (read in full...)

Any opinions or advice on how to proceed with this enigma of a man?

Q.   I fancy the pants off of this guy that I met online (last January) but he lives in Scotland and I am stuck here. I came out and told him that I liked him. Later on he admitted that he liked me too but wishes that I wasn't here. I've decided to ...

A.   3 December 2008: I suspect his initial reticence was due to the fact that he didn't want to start an online relationship with someone he might never ever see. Now that you are going to Europe and the two of you can meet in person, a relationship with you probably ... (read in full...)

Q.   hello this is mostly for teens or parents i really like this girl and we want to go out but i dont know if i am aloud or not can someone please tell me how i can find out if im aloud to have a girl friend without straight out asking if i am aloud ...

A.   3 December 2008: I take it you are not 22-25 if you are asking this question. The best way to find out would be to ask. That's also the way that's going to show the most maturity on your part. Coming across in a mature way is always a good thing if you are tryi... (read in full...)

He kissed me at a party... does he like me?

Q.   I have a male friend that is sometimes very talkative and shares a lot of his life with me. Other times it's like he hardly knows me. I think he is moody, but I sometimes take it personally. We were at a party not too long ago (for a mutual ...

A.   3 December 2008: Don't take this the wrong way, but...had he been drinking? You say the kiss was at a party. If he wasn't quite sober he might do things he wouldn't normally do. The tongue-tied bit is a good sign, though. Do you like this guy? If so, tell him. Fin... (read in full...)

My gay friend's boyfriend doesn't like me... What do I do?

Q.   My gay friend's boyfriend hates me. He thinks im going take him from him (im not gay) (not true we're just friends.) We dont get along at all. I lip off to him a lot (he so annoying.) It bugs my friend a lot (I dont blame him.) If we're in the same ...

A.   3 December 2008: If you are female and your friend is gay, I don't see the problem. Get your gay friend to explain to his boyfriend that he's gay (not bi, and not attracted to women). That should help. Try not "lipping off" to him while you're at it, or better yet, ... (read in full...)

A.   3 December 2008: Um. You "used to force her for lots of things"? Doesn't sound too nice, or too loving, on your part. What sort of things? Maybe she is finally fed up with that. Call her and find out.... (read in full...)

A.   3 December 2008: If you (and he!) didn't want people to know, I guess the two of you should have picked a place less public than a basketball game to make out. Well, the word is out now and knowing high school gossip, there's nothing you can do about it. So just try ... (read in full...)

A.   3 December 2008: Maybe this question is too obvious, but is she lesbian/bi as well? Does she know that you are? If the answer to either question, or both, is no, then her comments are almost certainly intended in a friendly way and nothing more. On the other hand, ... (read in full...)

How can I get past the teasing of me, a 17 y/o dating a 14 y/o boy?

Q.   Dear Cupid, Why does it seem to be okay for a 19-year-old guy to date a 16-year-old-girl...but a newly-17-year-old girl cannot peacefully date an almost-14-year-old guy? I've been with my boyfriend (we're in the second situation)for a ...

A.   3 December 2008: Girls tend to mature faster than boys so often a teenage girl has to date a little older than herself if she wants someone in the same range of maturity. What is the age of consent in your state? I'm assuming it has to be 17 or above since you cite ... (read in full...)

A.   3 December 2008: It's fine if you and he are both fine with it, and have similar priorities aligned similarly (i.e. you're on the same page about your career vs. having kids, etc.) You are both adults and if you make one another happy, that's the only approval you ... (read in full...)

How should I respond to his negative behavior?

Q.   I work with this guy who is very attractive but married. I'm married also and have never cheated on my spouse. My co-worker is 59 years old and I'm 25 years old. I can't help the attraction and have never responded to his seductive offers. Here ...

A.   3 December 2008: "He can get any woman he wants"...except you. You probably hurt his pride, but both of you are married, so your desire to do the right thing is very commendable and completely outweighs any hurt pride he may have. Ignore him.... (read in full...)

What are the options for a girl with a man whose penis is almost 5''?

Q.   What are all the options for a girl with a man whose penis is almost 5 inches? I secretly cry in my pillow after sex because my body is so sexually pent up. I am 33 but I do kegol exercises everyday and I've had no children and my ex boyfriends ...

A.   3 December 2008: Try getting him to satisfy you in other ways. Is he expecting you to come through sex only? See if he is willing to make you orgasm through manual or oral stimulation of your clitoris. If he doesn't know much about this you will at least have a ... (read in full...)

A.   3 December 2008: I'm sure you aren't crazy. If he found you physically attractive (and it sounds like he did), it makes sense that he would look for similar characteristics in other girls, or be attracted to girls who look similar. If he misses you enough, it's ... (read in full...)

A.   3 December 2008: Guys get rejected all the time. I'd say more so than girls, even, because the guy tends to be the one socially/culturally expected to do the asking. If guys never got rejected almost all of them would be dating Keira Knightley or Scarlett Johansson, ... (read in full...)

How do I get rid of this "shadow" from shaving?

Q.   I recently have started shaving 'down there' but noticed that there is always a sort of shadow left, even if I do a really good job when shaving. I just wondered if this is normal and if not how I can get rid of it. Thanks....

A.   3 December 2008: You can't, not by shaving anyway. As the other poster said, you might try waxing. If you've ever had your eyebrows waxed, think about what that felt like and then imagine the same sensation spread over a larger and even more sensitive area. You ... (read in full...)

A.   3 December 2008: I'm guessing you are not actually 13-15. I think you should try to imagine this from her point of view. Imagine if some girl you spoke to every now and then came up to you and told you she loved you and that she would wait years, without ever dat... (read in full...)
