I've decided to break up with my Bf. Should I wait until a week or so into the new year and just have a peaceful x-mas?

Q.   I have decided to break up with my boyfriend of 2 years because I no longer feel right in the relationship. I made this decision finally yesterday after lots of thought over the past few weeks, so it's not a spur of the moment thing and I am not ...

A.   23 December 2011: I think you should wait.. I know it seems like the wrong thing to do but I really think it's right. I think it would humiliate him to break up with him now because it's a time for the whole 'So how's your life going?' questions. Also, it's a r... (read in full...)

We broke up because she is a go-getter and I wasnt figuring my career out quick enough...but now I want her back, how do I show her things will be different this time?

Q.   I think the main reason was my wavering mind about my career, and the pace at which I was going in trying to figure things out - more slowly than her. She's a real go getter, and she really wanted me to match her pace, which I wanted to as well, but ...

A.   22 December 2011: Ah I'm sorry, it's not going to happen. I know this isn't what you wanted to hear but I think you're pushing her further and further away with your desperation. Possibly the most unattractive trait in a person, I know you think she wants to be told ... (read in full...)

Am I too young to get married?

Q.   Ok so me and my girlfriend were really good friends before we ever started to date. she had some emotional issues with things and then she started caring for me as more than friends when she relized that i was a caring person and wanted/tried to ...

A.   22 December 2011: The thing I always ask is, what's the rush? If you know you're going to spend the rest of your life together why do you feel like you need to get married right now? I think you should wait. Just stay together, be happy and you'll know when the... (read in full...)

I'm generally a nice person but when I get into a relationship I change! Is it possible to change my personality?

Q.   This has worried me for a while. When people meet me they think I'm a really nice person, I'm always super happy, energetic, laugh a lot and am up for everything. People think I'm 'nice' but then when I get into a relationship I change, and I become ...

A.   22 December 2011: That sounds interesting.. I may try that. It's nice to know that someone else has had the same problem and overcome it. I don't want to be horrible to the people I love, it makes no sense! ... (read in full...)

I'm so scared I'm going to be left on the shelf!

Q.   Hi, I am now the single one out of all my friends and I don't know what to do. I'm 31 attractive and have a good Job in recruitment. I'm living with friends in London and always had a good social life. However that's recently changed. Al...

A.   22 December 2011: Maybe you could talk to your girlfriends about this, even though it may be embarrassing to admit that you're a bit lonely and worried about not meeting the right guy for you, you should definitely confide in them. Just because you're in a relation... (read in full...)

Why do women like men more if they have pretty girl friends?

Q.   why do women like men more if they have pretty girl friends? when i go out as just myself, i go largely unnoticed; when i take a pretty girl friend with me the other women notice me and treat me differently (more nicely)....

A.   17 December 2011: I think some people need reassurance that they have 'good taste' in the opposite sex, if they see a guy with a pretty girl they may think 'Ok so if she likes him he must be attractive' ... (read in full...)

Do I pick the good guy or the bad guy?

Q.   help me!!!! I love two men and have no idea what to do.... one is a good guy ones a bad guy but I just dont know who to choose!...

A.   17 December 2011: It sounds like you want the bad guy but you want to want the good guy. Maybe go for neither... do some other things, see other people and eventually you'll just know which one (if any) you want.... (read in full...)

She's never happy with me.....

Q.   My girlfriend and I have been going out for nearly 4 months, but have known each other for years before that. I love her and she says she loves me, and everything was sooo perfect at first. But now it seems like all I do is piss her off. Over stupid ...

A.   18 April 2011: She sounds like she's walking all over you, she sounds like she doesn't know what she wants. You have the right to know where you stand with somebody, if you have the strength I suggest you leave her. The shock alone will force her to seriousl... (read in full...)

Why can't I get a girlfriend?

Q.   Why cant I get a girlfriend? Everyone tells me to be myself and it never works. Whats wrong with me?...

A.   13 February 2011: You're only young, please don't worry too much but I know you're going to anyway :P The best thing to do is to get a good hobby, something you're really interested in and become really good at it! Girls like that! Don't give off a desperat... (read in full...)

My boyfriends dad has just passed away, and my parents won't allow me to visit and be there for him... Is this mean of my parents?

Q.   I'm in a relationship with the guy i really love. We're both 17 and he's my first bf ever. We've been together for almost 9 months now. Yesterday, my bf's dad passed away because of heart attck. The last time my bf got to see his dad was last year ...

A.   13 February 2011: I think this is unfair of them. But I also don't think there is anything you can do about it. I probably think this is unfair because I'm not a parent and I don't understand what it's like to be one but I think your parents should be supporti... (read in full...)

Are all our dates going to be as awkward as this one?

Q.   Ok I had my first date a few months ago days before the date I was super excited and we went to the movie so I was kind of hoping that I would get my first kiss in the dark movie theater but I was wrong he brought his 3 cousins ,mom,sister and his ...

A.   13 February 2011: Most dates will probably be a little bit awkward, that one does sound particularly cringe worthy though. I just got back from an awful date last night, he brought his friends along and we had nothing in common and by the end of it they were all just ... (read in full...)
