Hi I'm 34 years old and so much wiser, richer, happier and more successful than I could ever have imagined 5 years ago! And trust me I thought I knew it all then at 29yrs ! I have had several long loving relationships since I was 17 years old and one bad relationship. My last relationship lasted 6 years, we are still friends now and this relationship was a friendship for 2 years before it turned to romance. I highly recommend getting to know someone before you get sexual with them, unless you're just after sex that is. I am not yet married but I have been asked a few times, I was just too young back then, (I was 23 when last asked). You think you know what you want at this age but you are always growing, maturing and realising stuff! I am so glad I didn't accept and because I didn't my 2 1/2 year relationship ended, it just wasn't quite right in my heart. I live in the UK, I own two houses, I work hard, earn good money, have lots of friends and I drive a factory tuned Lotus Elise (I love cars). I'm lucky that I've had a very good start in life in that I come from a good supportive loving family, never a spoilt child and not from a rich background either. I'm very interested in psychology and have read lots about human behaviour. I have read numerous relationship self help books which are good at keeping you focused if you do get dumped! Getting dumped is no fun at all, even if he's not the greatest guy in the whole, it still hurts and you wonder why the hell ? I've only been dumped a couple of times so I have faith in how I conduct myself generally. Getting dumped does knock your confidence and self esteem, but this is when you keep listening to that positive voice in your head & ignore the negative one, (if you don't have a positive one, get one, you can learn positive thinking there are books about it) also your friends/family are there to comfort you and believe me usually you meet someone else next and you look back and wonder why the hell you were bothered about him! I am currently single but going on dates with men on a regular basis through a dating site. I joined one because of my working patterns being unsocialable. I do still go out most weekends pubbing & clubbing & live bands/festivals, but I tend to get chatted up by men who are just too young for me really (i.e 18-25). I do look young for my age which is a good thing and probably why ! I do think an age gap of plus 10 years is usually unsuitable. I have travelled and worked abroad in the past and I also highly recommend this, it builds character and there is so much in the world to get out and see, the more you see the more you want to travel. There is so much to life, and I know that I am just like most people, in that I am looking to meet someone to share life with. Not just anybody though, as you get older and you grow in confidence and learn more about yourself, then you are then in a much better position to make balanced judgements on people and decide what and who is really "right" for you. I am still learning to be completely comfortable out of a relationship, as I have been in them almost constantly since 17. I have learnt a great deal. I hope that I will find the time to answer as many questions as I can. I stumbled upon this site looking for an answer to a situation I am currently involved in with an ex boyfriend. I would guess from what I've read here already that this site is predominately a younger age group, but if I can put anyone's mind at rest in matters of love, life, friends and career then I am more than happy to offer my honest opinion - sometimes you won't like what I have to say and you might think differently, as with life you sometimes hear good advice but you don't act on it, later on you often realise that you should've taken the advice - that's life - sometimes you have to learn the hard way. A recent quote I read said something like "a clever person asks for advice, a wise person acts on advice". I look forward to helping anyone, especially anyone who has spent the time to read my blog !!! Lisa xxx

A.   19 July 2007: Keep it as friends ONLY then, NOT "friends with benefits". That is being USED (when sex is involved as friends). Then you'll find out in time. Don't get your hopes up and then you won't be disappointed.... on the other foot, you may be very ... (read in full...)

A.   19 July 2007: You might not want to trust your gut instincts - but they are there for a reason. You say you don't trust him - that feeling is there for a reason also. He cheated on you at the start, he knows he can get away with it with you, so what's to stop ... (read in full...)

Q.   Okay, I'm on my period and a guy dry humped me, he didnt have any clothes on but I had a thong, and pyjama pants... Is there any way I could be pregnant?...

A.   13 July 2007: Dry humping - does that mean with clothes on ?! I guess it does and in that case ABSOLUTELY NOT ! Women can usually only get pregnant about 3-4 days a month anyway and that needs full penetration, fully naked, wet humping, pants off !!!! Sperm... (read in full...)

A.   13 July 2007: First of all people flirt partly for ego boost, partly to show proper interest in others. You're NOT IN LOVE WITH HIM. It's def. just lust I would guess from what you say. You "thinking you love him" is exactly that "thinking". Tell your clo... (read in full...)

A.   19 December 2006: Quiting caring will only come with time. Date other men, they are a good distraction and you never know when you're going to meet another fabulous one ! Clingy is different to independent, but maybe there were aspects of your behaviour that gave ... (read in full...)

A.   19 December 2006: I would imagine that you are experiencing "lust" at this moment in time rather than "love". Take more time to get to know him. Do not tell him you think you love him ! Wait for him to reveal any feelings first or you could blow it. You don't ... (read in full...)
