A.   7 January 2010: Going aboard is an alternative since nothing seems to be working for you when you're trying to forget him. You're not running away from your problems but smart enough to figure a way to move on, even if it means to go abroad. Going abroad could give ... (read in full...)

A.   6 January 2010: Be yourself because if you end up in a relationship with him, you would want him to like you for who you are and not who he thinks you are. Good Luck and have fun! :-)... (read in full...)

A.   5 January 2010: It takes 2 to tango but plans do change as time goes by. It's ideal to make plans for the future but it's more important to focus on the present. Since she's still going through school, don't make any concrete plan and enjoy your relationship at the ... (read in full...)

A.   5 January 2010: Hold off on this new guy for a minute and let's focus on your current relationship. It's either you talk to your boyfriend about your boring situation or take a break/break up. Would it be possible for you not to live with the boyfriend at the ... (read in full...)

A.   4 January 2010: Give him all the time he needs (days, weeks, months but it doesn't mean you need to wait for him) to sort out his feelings. It's not going to do your relationship any good if he's half-hearted about it. If you really love him then I suppose you can ... (read in full...)

A.   3 January 2010: The past is done and over with and there's nothing you can do to change it because it already happened, as long as you weren't a part of it. If you were a part of his past then it would make sense for you to be worked up on some issues but otherwise ... (read in full...)

A.   30 December 2009: You're probably thinking he's inconsiderate and insensitive but ask him directly and see what he says. Depending on his response, act according to your heart. He is your ex for a reason and since you've recently reconciled, maybe he's not sure if ... (read in full...)

Q.   I know I'm too young. Thats what everybody says. But recently I've met a boy I really love, he loves me too. Trust me you haven't heard him. He wants to have sex with me. Please answer me. With all risks and everything, thank you. :)....

A.   30 December 2009: You said you've "recently" met this guy, recent does not equal love. It sounds like lust and lust is not a good reason to have sex. You said "he wants" to have sex with you but do YOU want to have sex with him, that's the more important question. ... (read in full...)

What do I do...Nina or Lily?

Q.   I'll try to make this short. I'm a teenager and I have stupid teenage love problems, but I'd really like some help. There's this girl I was in love with for a few years, Lily, she was my first everything first girlfriend, first kiss, lost my ...

A.   30 December 2009: If Lily is still around and it's possible for you to ask her to give your relationship another chance, then go for it. If you can't have another chance with Lily, then take some time off from dating and enjoy your single life until you meet someone ... (read in full...)

A.   30 December 2009: I've seen early 20's and late 20's but not really mid 20's anymore which would have been my guess. It probably varies by generation. As for a relationship that will work and last, it's very unpredictable. However, the ones that don't seem to last ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hello everyone, I could really use a bit of advice. I dated my first love almost two years, last year he broke it off out of the blue. For about a year we went back and forth, he couldn't seem to make up his mind as to what he wanted. To say I wa...

A.   29 December 2009: You're still holding onto the ex because he broke up with you and now it becomes a challenge for you to see if you can still win his heart. Think of the 4 guys you've turned down, you feel nothing for them because you turned them down, but they ... (read in full...)

Q.   I'm so worried my boyfriend is cheating on me. At the same time I'm reluctant to fit the whole paranoid-woman stereotype, but I can't help it. For starters, he cheated on his girlfriend before me. Multiple times, with multiple girls. While I ...

A.   29 December 2009: It's time for to you take a long deep breath and say goodbye for good to this guy. It is clear in his comments that if he cheats on you later on, then it would be a "I told you so" since he did say "women don't need sex like men do" and that ... (read in full...)

A.   29 December 2009: Don't have sex for the sake of simply having sex because it'll take a toll on you later when you finally meet someone that you want to share that intimate moment with. It is probably very frustrating for you. Try to stop watching porn because it's ... (read in full...)

Q.   So a few months ago I lost my virginity to my gf. It went okay if not a little quick (which is expected) however now ive had alot of sex, I do not enjoy it. It comes down to my penis being a little on the small side. When im having sex with my gf ...

A.   29 December 2009: Good sex needs to be both physical and mental. The mental part is more important because it's what makes you really feel good when you're having it with someone special. If you're not enjoying it then recollect your thoughts about your relationship. ... (read in full...)

A.   23 December 2009: You do deserve to know and it must be bothering you, hopefully not the concept of stopping the relationship but the idea behind it, so your head is spinning wondering why. Do understand that if he hasn't explained why he called you late a night to ... (read in full...)

A.   22 December 2009: Take him seriously that he wants to stop the relationship with you because he is married. Do yourself a favor and love yourself so you should move on. What are you doing with a married man, if he was just dating another woman that's another story ... (read in full...)

I wonder how people "know" when they meet the person they'll marry for the first time

Q.   You hear so many people say, when you meet the one "you just know" and "I knew I would marry him". How many people feel this strongly on a first meeting? Did you know this would be the man you would marry when you first met him? ...

A.   19 December 2009: I know exactly what you're saying because my ex-boyfriend of 7 years ago (we dated for 5 months) knew he wanted to marry me, we only dated for 5 months so I don't know if he knew much about me but I guess his heart knew. He said it was indescribable ... (read in full...)

A.   19 December 2009: If the relationship actually meant something to you, then you should not break up via a letter because that's a very passive unilateral decision which is pretty unfair to him. Call him and talk about the letter, see how he feels about it. Depending ... (read in full...)

A.   18 December 2009: It's normal for you to feel this way because he was the one that left you. It's the notion of forbidden fruit because since he left, you feel like he's a challenge. It's going to be difficult in the beginning because you actually have deep feelings ... (read in full...)

A.   18 December 2009: Age does not define maturity. Maybe you're hanging out with the wrong crowd so all the boys are feeding off each other so they're acting in a similar fashion. Stay focus, you're doing the right thing by standing tall and sticking to your decision. ... (read in full...)

A.   18 December 2009: It's going to be hard to maintain a platonic friendship if you're head over heels in love with him. So you might as well let him know how you feel but not now. Communication between you and him will help you realize if this is going to work but not ... (read in full...)

Should I give this other girl a chance even though I love my ex?

A.   17 December 2009: It's going to be difficult but you need to work on yourself before working on your relationship. Sometimes getting too comfortable (moving in with each other or hanging out everyday) could be very routine. I've been with my boyfriend for 7 years and ... (read in full...)
