A.   22 November 2013: Hi there. First of all, I see that you live in the United States. Sexual activity before marriage is not a big deal here. You’re in fact the minority if you wait til marriage. Most men and women have had at least double the amount of sexual p... (read in full...)

Is this gay guy seriously blowing hot and cold, or was I off?

Q.   So I met this guy, we hooked up, he refused to kiss because he said he was in love with his best friend in another country, who was also in a relationship. He said he wouldn’t kiss because he felt like he was betraying his best friend (!!!!). Alarm ...

A.   22 November 2013: You read it to mean he's extremely shady and walk away. It was a one-time hook up and that was it. I highly doubt he's got a best friend who he likes in another country. More like he probably has a boyfriend in another country who would wonder w... (read in full...)

Did I overreact to comments about my weight?

Q.   I think I might have over reacted. I was texting back and forwards with this guy I had not dated yet. Everything was going well until he made this comment ~i don't usually date girls like you, but you look decent~ when i asked him what did he mean ...

A.   22 November 2013: You think his comment was *slightly* inappropriate? His comment was way off base. I wonder where people come off making such stupid comments. I would have been extremely put off by this guy. And then the comments he made to you about you needing to ... (read in full...)

Does my B/f still miss his ex? How often do they talk? Was their relationship better than ours? Am I a rebound to him?

Q.   Dear cupid, I have been with my boyfriend for 3 months and we were friends/talking for 2 months before we got together. When him and I first met and were in the friends/talking kind of stage, he still had feelings for his ex and they talked ofte...

A.   22 November 2013: Does he still miss her? There’s really no telling for sure about that. I know for me, I’ve remained friends with a lot of my exes. Many people disagree with this as they say it can cause problems in relationships. But I legitimately am only friends ... (read in full...)

Is there still a chance for us? Should I contact him again within a few months? Or should I just forget about him?

Q.   I'll keep it short since our 'relationship' was short too. I met this guy at a party 3 weeks ago. We had an instant click and an amazing evening. He told me he came just out of a long relationship and was single for just 1 month. He's 23, i'm 26 ...

A.   21 November 2013: he got sex and THEN pulled away. i'm sure you're an awesome girl. you don't deserve that. he was on the rebound and used you. i would not contact him again. ... (read in full...)

My instincts tell me he's not one for a FWB

Q.   Dear Aunts and Uncles I have recently started what is supposed to be a "friends with benefits" relationship with a guy who's almost 20 years older than me. He's an incredibly attractive man and we've liked each other for a few weeks and we fin...

A.   21 November 2013: How long was he married for? He's probably so used to what marriage is like that he's unable to separate sex from emotions. Or he may be looking to replace his wife with you because of being lonely. Which is irrational. But people do that all the ... (read in full...)

Things have changed so much because of her illness -- can we get back to where we were?

Q.   I need advice as am completely stuck. I'm in a long term lesbian relationship that for the past year has been incredibly difficult. When I first met my partner she was my ideal woman. Literally the moment I met her I fancied her. She was li...

A.   21 November 2013: I have been through what you're going through. First off, let me say props to you for sticking around. it's incredibly difficult and you must love her very much. My gf suffered depression as well as other things on top of it. Some days were ama... (read in full...)

Q.   Dear everyone, Hi I have been married to my husband since May 11th 2013. We havebeen together for almost 8 years. He has never shown any signs of being bi sexual or gay. Well the other morning he didn't expect me home for awhile but my daughter...

A.   21 November 2013: He called him right before he "unexpectedly" barged in unannounced? That's not possible.band as previously mentioned, just walking into the house of a person who has a family is extremely intrusive. It wouldn't happen. Why would this random man just ... (read in full...)

Q.   I saw that my boyfriend has been forwarding himself an email about a reminder notice to send flowers the last couple of days . I had seen it quickly over his shoulder and then took a peek yesterday which I don't normally do! The flowers were ...

A.   20 November 2013: This definitely sounds suspicious for sure. It does honestly sound like your husband was sneaking this man in when he thought you would be gone. and as another poster mentioned - why was his underwear on the stairs? I'm not sure it's adding up. ... (read in full...)

A.   20 November 2013: I'm not certain what tinder is. However, if you're certain it was your boyfriend who messaged those girls, it's pretty certainly inappropriate. Do you know for sure he doesn't know them at all? If they are friends, it would be a complete... (read in full...)

What do I do if I bump into a guy I used to date while at work?

Q.   So, I'm going for a job interview in a couple of days. Nothing fancy, just an office job at a university near to where I was a student. I still have friends there, so thought it would be fun to return. Thing is, there's a guy that goes to the uni ...

A.   19 November 2013: Easier said than done to simply tell you not to panic, I know. If you have a tendency to panic and get flustered over most things then my advice probably won't help to change that lol. But I can help to put some things into perspective that might ... (read in full...)

Lesbian confusion with a girl I'm really into

A.   19 November 2013: I think she sounds a bit shady and I would be very wary. Are you sure she's single? I've had a girl play me like this before. Just kept being elusive until finally I discovered she had a gf for years. Then it all made sense why she was so elusive! ... (read in full...)

Should I trust my boyfriend that he didn't cheat?

A.   19 November 2013: I can relate. My ex had a lot of issues like this. And no matter how much I always tried to be strong for her and tell her she could fix herself while being with me, we couldn't make it work. She's right - she CAN'T have a fully function... (read in full...)

A.   17 November 2013: He called you pal for a reason. He was reiterating he isn't into you *that * way. If you like him, definitely put some distance between you two because you will wind up hurt in this circumstance. Find a man who wants to be with you.... (read in full...)

A.   15 November 2013: How do you get him to listen? You hang up the phone and then don't pick it back up. When he tries to call back, you don't answer and ignore him until he gets the message. He's a bully. And behaving like a child. If he's incapable of having a... (read in full...)
