A.   28 August 2007: A good relationship isn’t about sticking to silly rules like this. He made all the running at first, and then it tailed off, which is to be expected. By that time, you are supposed to have lightened up enough to feel comfortable calling each other ... (read in full...)

A.   13 August 2007: Hi, I think the best thing would be to take your time with the new girl. Continue to be mates with her and have a laugh, but give it a while before you move on to more. That way, you will probably find that your ex has lost interest, so there wi... (read in full...)

A.   6 August 2007: Hi, Excellent advice from AuntyEm. No of course you can’t be mates until you are over him, it would be torture to someone who is still in love. Maturity has nothing to do with this. Believe me, if you were 30, 40 or 50 you would not feel any diff... (read in full...)
