A.   27 December 2019: Hello OP, I think it’s wise that you came here. You know it’s not quite right and that’s for good reason. If he can throw away an engagement for a woman from his past, could you trust him? You also don’t know if you’d be compatible any m... (read in full...)

I'm worried about my friend giving money to a man she met online

Q.   I’m concerned about my friend. She met a man online. I think it was on Facebook. They have met 3 times, he lives far from her so she travels to see him. He is unemployed apparently. He does ask her for money. I found out she does give it...

A.   27 December 2019: Hi OP, It’s great that you’re looking out for your friend, but she’s a grown adult and needs to make her own mistakes. We do agree with you that he sounds like he’s just using her, but there isn’t much you can do without her digging her heel... (read in full...)

A.   26 December 2019: Hello OP, Thank you for coming to us with this situation. It is a very dangerous situation to be in. Your cousin is taking advantage of you. His interest in you is illegal because you are at a vulnerable age, even though you feel grown up. He ... (read in full...)

Q.   I’m an 18-year old lad and facing the majority of Christmas day alone. I’ve honestly never felt so rotten in my entire life. As well as having Aspergers syndrome I’ve always been shy and introverted, and as such I’ve got no friends in life and have ...

A.   18 December 2019: Hi OP, I'm sorry your family are being quite selfish. I have a few points to make: - being single is not a bad thing - never having had a relationship when you're only 18 is very normal and not at all bad (I was 19 when I met my first boy... (read in full...)

I’m now interested in getting to know my co-worker better!

Q.   I am a 60ish man who got to know a 30ish young lady at work. At first she seemed attracted and very interested in me. I wasn't too interested but she did spur my attention. I got to know and enjoyed her company. Everything seemed pretty platonic. ...

A.   12 September 2019: Hi there, I believe it is still platonic and it would be wise to remind yourself that she is half your age and unlikely to have been after anything but a nice conversation. I would advise trying to date women 50+ who don't want children and are... (read in full...)

Q.   is is normal for a man to become nasty and aggressive over not having enough sex because that is how my boyfriend is and I give him lots of sex five times a day every weekend. I feel like his constant pressure is starting to put me off him and sex ...

A.   10 September 2019: Hi there, "is is normal for a man to become nasty and aggressive" - no. It is not acceptable either. 5 times a week is a lot for most people (perfectly fine, if they both consent), but 5 times a day would make almost anyone sore! He is show... (read in full...)

I love sex but have a phobia about semen

Q.   Ok this is probably going to sound weird but here goes... I think I have a phobia of semen. The idea of seeing a man 'finish' just repulses me. I can't deal with the thought of a man finishing inside me either. That's not to say I don't like sex. ...

A.   10 September 2019: Hello, Yes, I have a couple of friends who feel the same way. Some people can't deal with blood or vomit and others can't deal with semen. Some people say it's immaturity, but it's a valid issue like being very uncomfortable around other bodily f... (read in full...)

A.   10 September 2019: Hello there, I think you have an amazing opportunity in front of you and I believe you would likely regret it if you didn't go for it while you're in the best time of your life to. I can understand that, at 36, he wants children soon. H... (read in full...)

A.   30 August 2019: Hi there, I'm sorry, OP, but this is abuse. He is demanding you potentially harm your body to please him. "Lose weight". "Gain weight". It's all about him controlling you and his fears about others being attracted to you. He doesn't love you and ... (read in full...)

A.   30 August 2019: Hello, I completely understand your concern about the lying. You do focus a lot on the past - even the possibility of her ex and her was still before you got together. She perhaps lied because she felt you were "too" focused on her "virtue"... (read in full...)

A.   30 August 2019: Hi, What do you like about her other than the fact she's hot? It seems like you both just want an ego boost. Is she married? Divorced? Single mother? Does she flirt or hug and kiss on the cheek like friends/motherly? You're awfully confid... (read in full...)
