A.   29 September 2009: Well said, PAN! It is common for the end of sexual attraction to be the first sign that whatever the couple is doing is not working. That does not mean it can not be remedied, but if you are unable to work together for a common happiness (which i... (read in full...)

A.   29 September 2009: CaringGuy is right. One thing you should learn about school is that rumours are to be ignored; and I say that not caring how good the friend is who whispered it to you. They are not above mistakes. In grade (grammar/primary) school in Canada... (read in full...)

A.   23 September 2009: CaringGuy took the words out of my mouth. You can't be any more certain of your ex than you are of the new guy. I hope you continue to move forward, be it with the new guy or not. What would happen if another tragedy happens? Would you expect y... (read in full...)

How could he do this to me?

Q.   Hey, Basically my Ex broke up with me this month. It was because I'm off to uni, he told me he can't commit to a relationship or can't be in one. So fine, I was gutted but that's what he wants, right? Slowly getting over him, decided to have ...

A.   23 September 2009: I don't think you need advice, hun. This sucks a lot. Regardless of his motivation, he clearly wasn't honest, but I think you are doing the right thing for yourself. Keep healing... when you're back from University, maybe he'll regret his deci... (read in full...)

A.   23 September 2009: I agree. Also, (this may be a Western Philosophy) he is a big boy. He is a big enough boy to get married. It's his job to find a home for them to begin their lives as a proper married couple. He should absolutely be living on his own with his... (read in full...)

A.   23 September 2009: Document everything and call the police whenever necessary (they keep records, too). You've been given good advice here from others, so I don't want to be redundant. However, as he has no rights and is not pursuing obtaining visitation, don't gr... (read in full...)

A.   23 September 2009: I agree with CaringGuy almost entirely. However, I am not going to tell you that your ex-boyfriend is rotten for two reasons. 1) You will reject everything I say after that and feel you have to defend him. 2) I don't think he's rotten.. a bit of... (read in full...)

Q.   i have been friends with a girl for quite some time and hoping to get serious. I asked her as a joke how come you don't have a boyfriend and she replies i don't know you well enough to answer that. how am i supposed to understand this?...

A.   23 September 2009: I presume that if she wanted to you to understand it, she would have been clearer. Apparently, whatever her reasons, she doesn't feel comfortable telling you. Maybe she didn't spend more time on it because she didn't recongize the joke as a "fe... (read in full...)

A.   23 September 2009: Since you've already said you are going to give her space, sending a text saying it again is redundant. Like you said, none of us knows what the outcome will be. Even if we were mind-readers, we can't reach into her mind and find an answer s... (read in full...)

A.   23 September 2009: You obviously do have a self-esteem issue. Women who are confident in themselves do not allow themselves to be used by men. His family probably doesn't like you because he has lied to them about you. He is engaging in behaviour with women th... (read in full...)

How can I pluck up the courage and talk to him again?

Q.   I really like this guy at church but I've never had the confidence to chat to him before, but recently at a friends suprise birthday party he started talking to me. We spoke for a long time and he was making a lot of eye contact with me but i was so ...

A.   23 September 2009: There are two reasons why you are feeling so nervous about talking to him. 1)You like him quite a lot. 2)You feel there is a lot at stake if it doesn’t go well. Both of these factors have built the idea of speaking to him again up in your min... (read in full...)

A.   23 September 2009: We all have different ideas for what we consider a happy life. Personally, if I felt I loved another man, I could not start a family with the man I am married to, just so I did not hurt him or his family. However, I have encountered many people so ... (read in full...)

I keep hearing stories about him and other girls.

Q.   I am a lady aged 26 going out with a man aged 38 (he is divorced and has 2 children). I am in love with this man but the problem is I keep hearing stories about him and other girls. Today my good pal told me that a girl went to her to ask if my man ...

A.   22 September 2009: What happened when you asked the other girl? I doubt your friend would lie to you. I think your boyfriend is practising the old "Best Defence is a Good Offense" strategy. Did his reaction deter you from asking the girl? If he is not asking... (read in full...)

A.   22 September 2009: In the very least, and only if your brother wasn't hurt in the break up, and appears to be over her (and the break up isn't too fresh), you should speak to your brother about it. Do not proceed without his blessing!... (read in full...)

A.   22 September 2009: That can be frustrating and I sympathize. I can definitely say, however, that you are NOT "terminally" unattractive as I don't think there has ever been a documented condition of someone who died from being unattractive. It is possible that you... (read in full...)

I need your opinions here. What does love feel like?

Q.   There appears to be two types of love. One is the love for a sibling or family member, and the romantic love between intimate partners. I myself am devoid of either. I never have (and probably never will) felt love for another due to my abnormal p...

A.   22 September 2009: You could start by "sorting out your head." Your insecurity and neediness drive this boyfriend away. You understand you are wrong and then repeat or escalate the behaviour. You can say to him, "Listen, I was wrong. You are right and I have bee... (read in full...)

How do I nudge him to fall in love with me? Or come clean that he can't?

Q.   I know you can't make someone fall in love with you, but does anybody have any tips to move it along? We spend all our free time together, can talk about anything, and never fight. I don't know what the hold up is. I let it slip that I had fallen ...

A.   22 September 2009: You should stop thinking about it so much. You aren't really allowing him time while you sit back and wait for the endearment to come. You do not allow time while you seek ways to hurry it along, are you? Allow the time, and stop "waiting... (read in full...)

A.   22 September 2009: This is an awful feeling and I sympathize. It appears he has a new girlfriend and has not had the decency to let you know. This is crummy and it can hurt. If he won't respond to your contacts, I would move on. Don’t try to contact him, don’t to... (read in full...)

A.   22 September 2009: Well, you sort of put him back on the market, so I would move on. I question the value of a friendship where people go out with someone a friend was interested in or dating, but that's up to you. Aside from that I recommend you move on. The "Wha... (read in full...)

A.   22 September 2009: Lol... I presume your age is posted incorrectly because this is not a typical issue for a woman of 41 to 50 years old. What's wrong with you, you ask? Nothing is "wrong". You are young. This is an immature reaction. You will grow out of it (a... (read in full...)

Q.   Why my boyfriend like me on top during our sex? He is lacking of effort as to do some preliminaries not just jump into fucking. He does not want to kiss me all over my body specially my neck and back. I mean, he just touches my ears, neck, and run ...

A.   22 September 2009: I agree with CaringGuy. You need to have a conversation with him. Tell him what you like and what you want. Explain that you are getting bored and want to shake things up. Ensure that you are not accusatory. Be matter of fact. And be open ... (read in full...)

A.   22 September 2009: Allow him to initiat the next contact, but do not wait for it. You certainly do not want him to think you are pining away like a love-sick teenager. ;-) Presumably, you want him to think you are a busy and interesting woman with places to go an... (read in full...)

A.   18 September 2009: If you do anything, have it be a card or an e-card. Make it a funny one, not a cheesey mushy one. I would prefer not to acknowledge it until he contacts you again. Then say "Oh, you had a birthday, didn't you? Next time we're together, I will b... (read in full...)

A.   18 September 2009: Firstly, you should be proud of yourself for looking for advice. I think you should stay true to yourself. You do not wish to have sex (good for you!) so don't. You've only dated this boy for 3 weeks and frankly, if he's the type of boy who woul... (read in full...)
