A.   9 July 2007: I have changed my mind about my advice further down. What if you try to set up a fake meeting to get back at him, and he says "No". Don't risk it. Just walk away. Someone will break his heart one day. Not your problem.... (read in full...)

A.   9 July 2007: I wouldn’t do anything myself, but in the spirit of helpfulness – The one sure way of convincing him that you are hurt and bitter is to do something drastic to pay him back. It is usually bitter people who do that kind of thing. So do somethin... (read in full...)

A.   9 July 2007: Hi kelsi, Yes, mixed messages. I don’t know your friend as you do, so can’t say why she is doing this. One explanation is that she is bisexual or gay and not comfortable with admitting it. I have no idea how likely this is to be the case. If she i... (read in full...)

A.   6 July 2007: This is a tricky question. I don’t think you should try to see her. If you saw her once, it wouldn’t really help you get over this, you would just want to do it again and again. You don’t want to freak her out do you? So best to leave her be. If... (read in full...)

A.   6 July 2007: I take it that on your salary you could afford to enjoy yourself more if you were on your own, but living with your boyfriend leaves you with little spending money? Do you think that if you could get out more, you might feel less trapped and happier ... (read in full...)

A.   6 July 2007: I agree with Danielepew, it looks like you 2 are finished. If there was a particular thing that was causing this trouble, you would have mentioned it. As there isn't, what can you fix? You just don't get on any more. It's painful, but its how ... (read in full...)

A.   6 July 2007: Hi there, Your parents have not grasped the fact that you are a grown-up have they? They still want to believe that you are their little girl. Maybe they are quiet traditional in their views? Sure they worry about you, they can’t help it. They hav... (read in full...)

A.   6 July 2007: I don't think you want to "take it to a higher level", you just want to have sex, and are too embarassed to admit it because it sounds selfish. This waiting is important to her, and you must respect her wishes. If you pressure her into what she ... (read in full...)

A.   6 July 2007: I think you are a bit worried or it wouldn’t have occurred to you to ask. Size really, really makes no difference, except in men’s minds. Concentrate on making a woman happy, and you can be a great lover whether it’s big or not. A man with a big ... (read in full...)

A.   6 July 2007: Rk06 obviously knows a lot more about the way things work than I do. The only thing that I would add, is to emphasise what he said about not trying to take off too much too fast. Every dieter who loses a lot of weight fast puts it all back on, and a ... (read in full...)

A.   6 July 2007: Not a very good best friend is he? Is he still your friend after all this? If he says he is, then ask him to tell her that he lied. It will be embarrassing for him, but he owes it to you. If he won’t do that for you, then I would find another best ... (read in full...)

A.   6 July 2007: Hi sweetheart, So sorry to hear about this situation. It is never a light thing to suggest that someone leaves their spouse once they have children. If you didn’t have children, there would be no question. And in this case, I think there is also ... (read in full...)

A.   6 July 2007: You know that he is being unreasonable of course. I can well understand that your patience is wearing thin. The cod-psychologist in me wonders if he struggled to kick the habit of calling for his mum in the middle of the night when he was unhappy, ... (read in full...)

A.   5 July 2007: I agree with ariel and flower girls as regards your insecurity so I will just say what I think about your boyfriend’s ‘inability to communicate’. I hope male readers will forgive me for a bit of a sweeping statement. It often seems to be the case ... (read in full...)

A.   5 July 2007: I think you are thinking about the other guy purely because you aren’t happy with your boyfriend. It’s very easy to look back nostalgically at what you had, or might have had, with another person. The rose-tinted specs come out, and the more you ... (read in full...)

Will my boyfriend be able to tell that I am a virgin?

Q.   My Boyfriend Thinks I Have had Sex But Im A Virgin Will He Know?...

A.   5 July 2007: Not unless you want him to. Not many women bleed the first time and if they do, it isn’t much. Also, there isn’t a sudden and drastic change in how you feel inside after the first time. All that stuff about getting loose if you have a lot of sex is ... (read in full...)

Q.   Do You bleed on your first few times of having sex or just your first ??...

A.   5 July 2007: You don't necessarily ever bleed at all. It's only if your hymen was intact at the time. Some women aren't even born with an intact hymen, some tear it with tampons. If you keep bleeding each time, then you probably have a small tear, and you keep ... (read in full...)

A.   5 July 2007: If your response to losing him was to try to get back at him, then you don’t love him, it was hurt pride. Maybe he weakened last time, but he has said he doesn’t love you, and I would be inclined to believe him. Give up on this one.... (read in full...)

A.   5 July 2007: It would be really mean to get involved with your man’s friend. Being betrayed by both the woman he loves and his best friend would be terrible for him. So this is not an option, whatever happens between you and your man. If you have been together ... (read in full...)

A.   5 July 2007: 4 years is a big gap at your age. People change so much in the 4 years between 16 and 20. Of course individual people vary, so it isn’t possible to have hard and fast rules. Like the other responder asked – is it nearer 3 years or 5? 20 and 17 ... (read in full...)

A.   5 July 2007: He comes back because you let him. Don’t let him. If he loved you, he wouldn’t have left. There are loads of other men out there, and like sunrise says, life is too short for holding on to someone who doesn’t love you. At the moment, you can’t see ... (read in full...)

A.   5 July 2007: I'm afraid there is no sure answer to this one. Some people blurt out the truth that they were too shy to say when sober. But some do say things that they don't really mean - just jabber away not really thinking about what is coming out of their ... (read in full...)

A.   5 July 2007: How bad is this urge to hurt him? Have you suffered with violent jealousy before? I agree with the other responses as far as it goes, but if you really suspect that you might not be able to control yourself just with your own efforts, then get some ... (read in full...)

A.   5 July 2007: If he has slept with your mother a few times - what wouldn't he do? What on earth does he mean “only a few times”, as if that makes it OK. Once is unforgivable. He is about as low as it's possible to go. Being drunk is not an excuse, not even a ... (read in full...)

A.   5 July 2007: Yos thinks he will get in trouble, but speaking as a woman, I think he’s right. I don’t think it’s anything to do with ‘nowadays’ as the other poster suggested. I’m pretty ancient, and when I was at school, most of the girls fancied a small number ... (read in full...)
