A.   6 July 2007: Your girlfriend said she'd date him if she wasn't with you? What are you still doing with her, dude? You can do SO much better! Instead of focusin on how much you hate that guy, he's done nothing wrong here! I think you deserve a lot better, so find ... (read in full...)

Q.   I have a serious jealousy problem. I cannot control it. There's this guy that my girlfriend is friends with; I don't even know the kid, I've never met him, and I hate his guts. I don't know why but whenever even his name comes up in a conversa...

A.   5 July 2007: Hi there. I think your jealousy says more about you than about this kid you're angry at. So what are you afraid of? Losing your girlfriend? Her spending more time with some other dude than you? You really need to ask yourself such questions so that ... (read in full...)

A.   5 July 2007: Oh my goodness, I feel so bad to hear your story! This is unreal. But I personally would not go through with the wedding. It doesn't matter who your boyfriend slept with - whether it was your mother, your sister or a complete stranger - infidelity ... (read in full...)

I respect girls and treat them right. So why won't they date me?

Why do girls dump nice guys for bad boys?

Q.   Why do girls dump nice guys for bad boys? I mean its interesting when girls say that they want nice sensitive guys but they usually date all the bad boys and the nice guys are reserved as friends. And its not just insecure girls, but even ...

A.   5 April 2007: Yes, there is something appealing about the bad boy. But let me let you in on a little secret - in real life it's not glamorous to be with a bad boy. They're often cheats, liars and trouble! I think girls might be attracted to that 'ideal' they have ... (read in full...)

How do I talk to my guy about periods and things ? Surely most guys dont want to know!?

A.   31 March 2007: I would say that you don't have to tell him - why do you want to tell him so badly? If it happens that you are very tense and grumpy or whatever, and he gives you a confused stare because he doesn't know where the bad mood is coming from, then by ... (read in full...)

A.   31 March 2007: Hi there There is nothing worse than waiting for the phone to ring only to discover that he hasn't called. The thing is, you've tried to tell him how you feel so then why can't he take the time to make the effort? This is a big issue, in my eyes,... (read in full...)

Q.   Ok here goes, will make as brief as possible! Met a guy on a dating website in 2005, hit it off and arranged to meet up few weeks later although that never happened (I had other plans arranged). Kept in touch via text and emails, then he went off...

A.   31 March 2007: Hi there I can understand how confusing it is to be in a situation like this! But the thing is that you've got to ask yourself what you want - Do you want to be with someone who is great with you when you're together but then doesn't make the... (read in full...)

A.   31 March 2007: Hi there It is a bit weird that he was away for a week and didn't contact you - I admit sometimes that can be a sign that something's up. It's not right for someone to not talk to you for that long when they're away and then hang up on you! Whe... (read in full...)

Q.   I'm 24, and have just got married to my new husband who's 28. Recently he went on a business trip for a few days, or so it seemed, until a good friend (female) had told me she'd seen him with his lover. I thought that was bad enough - se...

A.   31 March 2007: Yikes, that is stressful. Anyone in your position would be feeling the same thing. But first of all, I have to ask: who is this friend who told you? Is it a reliable source? If she is, then I'd say the next step is to talk to your husband. You ment... (read in full...)

He broke up with me 3 months ago, now he's like a bodyguard to me where other men are concerned!

Q.   my ex broke up with me 3 months ago. At the time we were working together and i got laid off shortly after. During these 3 months he would call me like once a week (if even that) just to see how i was doing. I just went back to the job two weeks ...

A.   31 March 2007: The funny thing is that despite telling you he loves you, HE'S the one who broke up with you! Okay, obviously he's jealous of other guys being around you, but he is the one who chose not to be with you anymore, so he can't expect to now have a hold ... (read in full...)

How do I tell my bf thats hes dull and boring and that I want to date my ex ?

Q.   I'm emotional troubled. I've been dating my boyfriend for almost a year. I got with him right after I broke up with my ex. Our relationship is so dull and boring. We can't even hold up a 10 min conversation on the telephone. So in the end I've ...

A.   23 March 2007: There's honesty and then there's hurting someone's feelings. It's never necessary to do the latter. I would suggest you tell your boyfriend that you're simply not happy in the relationship anymore (that is what it boils down to, after all). If, o... (read in full...)

She assures me she loves me, but Im not sure how to act as she keeps feeling suffocated!

Q.   Hmmm. I'm a little confused here. So around January, the most amazing 6 or 7 months that I've had w/ anyone. My girlfriend broke up w/ me almost w/o a warning. No fight, no bad feelings, nothing. She freaked out on the phone and after crying hys...

A.   23 March 2007: I admit, this is quite a mind-boggling issue because SHE's the one who is saying she loves you and SHE is having a wonderful time with you, so how can she be feeling suffocated? Could it be that she's scared of relationships - perhaps is she afraid ... (read in full...)

A.   23 March 2007: Thanks Tellulah, that helps :) Just to clarify: he didn't tell me out of his own will - I actually asked him what had happened. So maybe he would've kept it a secret if I didn't ask? Now isn't that dodgy?? ... (read in full...)
