A.   22 September 2005: Speaking from experience, the internet can ruin your marriage. If she insist on talking online have her stick to females that she is talking to. She has a man in her life and most men on the internet are only looking for one thing. That's not ... (read in full...)

Our relationship seems to be fading... and fast! What should I do?

Q.   The first few months or so of my relationship he used to phone or at least send sweet good night texts every day. This stopped and seemed as though we wouldn't talk unless it was me that called. We didn't have sex for about 3 weeks and he said that ...

A.   22 September 2005: Any relationship is sugar and spice when it is new. After a while they all settle down. You didn't say how old this man is or what kind of job he is holding. He could be stressed from the work, however, I don't see why he couldn't at least make a ... (read in full...)

This girl and I are practically best friends, but we've never met in person!

Q.   I've known a girl for four years, but I've never met her! We met via a friend of mine. He was on the phone to her and I snatched the phone off him, whilst drunk. Four years later and we are practically best friends. We speak every day. We spend ho...

A.   22 September 2005: Talk to your friend. Ask her why does she think things will change if you two meet up. She may seem perfectly happy not to meet you because of her fear she has that something will change if she does meet with you. It shouldn't matter if her real... (read in full...)

Would it be easier to break things off before he has to go?

Q.   Ive been seeing this guy for nearly 4 weeks now. It was meant to be nothing too serious, but as time goes on my feelings for this guy are getting stronger. I think he likes me too, just by the way he is with me. But he's going away to work for the ...

A.   22 September 2005: Long distance relationships are almost impossible to make work. If you stay with him, you will be obligated to not date anybody else. As will he. You both will be wondering if the other one is dating someone else or not. It will be a strain on your ... (read in full...)

Reeling from my husband's announcement that he wants a divorce. Opinions?

A.   22 September 2005: I feel you need to move on and start making a life of your own. Your husband is not being entirely honest with you. I don't feel he is wanting the marriage to work and the best he will give you is friendship. There is a good possibility that you... (read in full...)

Q.   I have been in a serious relationship with a great guy for a little over a year. He is great, by far the best boyfriend I have ever had. I can really see myself with him for the rest of my life. Ok, here is the question. I was "talking" to a guy be...

A.   22 September 2005: Did that last relationship happen to be a first love? If so that could be why you still have feelings for him. You always will have. We never forget or first love. They will always have a special place in our hearts. You said it yourself this boy... (read in full...)

My chick-magnet boyfriend just loves the attention he gets from other girls...

Q.   I've been dating my b/f for almost two years, but we had just made it official 7 months ago. He's a chick magnet, this I know. I fell in love with him the first time I ever saw him. He treats me great, but, to me, there is one problem. He LOVES ...

A.   21 September 2005: Relax, and take your rightful place beside him. He is your man. The girls may look and flirt and wish they could have him but at the end of the day he is still with you. Be proud you have such a good-looking man. ... (read in full...)

A.   21 September 2005: Mercy girl, Bless your heart. You are going to have to get rid of him. Where he goes is not your problem as long as it is away from you. Make sure you stay where you will be safe until you know that he will not be bothering you. You said he can't... (read in full...)

Q.   Hey I'm a 16 yr old girl, and have a friend "Tim" who is also 16yrs old. When I started a new school, he was on my course. We met when we went on a trip with the school and he was helping me rockclimb. Ever since, he has picked on me senseless, ...

A.   21 September 2005: I think this guy likes you but you need to make sure it is not for the same reason your ex liked you. If he really cares about how you feel talk to him and tell him you need him to slow down. He may be used to other types of girls that like boys... (read in full...)

We're taking time apart and now she wants to meet up again. Is she going to drop a bomb?

Q.   Hi, Please, help! My girlfriend and I are on a break. It's been 8 weeks, but this is OK since I did the same a few years ago. I know she loves me, but she said at last conversation "I'm afraid if we get back together it'll be great and someth...

A.   21 September 2005: Your girlfriend is sending mixed signals no wonder you don't know what's up. You said in your last conversation with her, that she told you "I'm afraid if we get back together it'll be great and something will screw it up." Along with the fact she ... (read in full...)

Still hanging on to a thread of hope the my ex-girlfriend will come back to me...

Q.   I've asked questions on here before. The answers have been very helpful, but I'm sure you are all aware, things change. I told my ex girlfriend (who dumped me for someone else) that we couldn't be friends. At the time I said that to her, we were ...

A.   21 September 2005: If your ex loved you there is no way she could go to just ignoring your existance. You have a point where if you remain friends with her she might change her mind, but then again, she might not. Since she was dating another guy and then came and ... (read in full...)

Q.   HI there, please can someone help - I'm going crazy here. I wrote a while ago explaining that I moved to the US to be with a man who dumped me because I basically ignored what he wanted and moved into his house with no leaving date (we had agr...

A.   21 September 2005:  You and your man got off on the wrong foot to begin with, however it seems since you have slowed things down and went on with your life he is wanting to be a part of it now. It is also clear that you want to be a part of his life. Take things slow ... (read in full...)

He says he needs space. OK, but how much space?

Q.   My boyfriend told me he doesn't want to break up but needs some space. How long should I wait before I call him? Or see him? I want to respect him and give him time to work out his issues, but not give him permission to leaving me totally hanging ...

A.   21 September 2005: If your boyfriend is using the "needs some space" he is most likely just trying not to hurt you but he is wanting to move on. You should do the same. Go on with your life. Don't call him. Don't go to see him. The easiest way to make a boy want a ... (read in full...)

What can I do to get my fella's attention again?

Q.   I have been with my boyfriend for almost 2 years and some times I get the feeling that he is losing interest in me. How can I get the spark back into our relationship and make him notice me the way he used to? ...

A.   21 September 2005: Any relationship after awhile goes stale. Its up to us to keep it alive and exciting. Set back at least a day a week for you and your boyfriend to spend time together, just the two of you. Suprise him with a candlelight dinner or rent some movies, ... (read in full...)

Q.   I like my best friend's crush, and I think she likes me. My friend has moved away and but he still talks to her on a regular basis. I know he likes a girl up where he lives, but he still likes the one here. My friends say I should go for her, but ...

A.   21 September 2005:  If you give it some time your friend will most likely forget about the girl there. Long distance relationships are almost impossible to make work. If you go for it now then you could destroy your friendship. Stay friends with her. Spend some t... (read in full...)

Beer with his buddies is more important than time with me... Am I selfish to want to start over?

Q.   I have been with my husband for about 10 years (8 married). I have a 16 yr old from before we met. I love him and we have never cheated on one another. I am not interested in any other man and he is not interested in another woman. I am however ...

A.   21 September 2005: The only way you will change your feelings is if he changes, and it may be to late for that. You are in no way being selfish wanting to fill your own needs. They should be filled and he should do his part in making sure that they are. Marri... (read in full...)

Q.   I was seeing this girl Jane. She recently split with her Ex and we got together ( we originally met over net ) Anyway it was a somewhat rocky ride for 4 weeks because she was acting funny and stuff. I confronted her a number of times and basicall...

A.   20 September 2005: Pushing her into making a decision of either a relationship or nothing is not going to help things. Give this girl some time. It sounds like she is really interested in you. It is just she has a problem from her last relationship. Have you ever ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi...I have been with the same guy for a while now...a little over three years. I love him and want to marry him someday. We have talked about a future together and kids...the whole deal. My problem is in the bedroom. I have never met a guy ...

A.   20 September 2005: You need to talk to your man about sex like you do about everything else. Be open and honest. Alot of men don't know how to please a woman. They think if they just have sex with a woman she is satisfied too. Your man needs to be patient with you get ... (read in full...)

I'm apparently not "the one" my boyfriend is looking for, but he wants me to stick around anyway...

Q.   I have been seeing my boyfriend for 3 months. We met on the internet and hit it off straight away. We have loads in common and everything is fantastic. We both agree on this! But after 4 dates he told me I wasn't 'the one'. We carried on seeing e...

A.   20 September 2005: 16 months ago you and your wife loved each other enough to get married. What happen? If it was a situation where you felt like you had to marry her I can see how the feelings could die so easily. Maybe it is the stress of having a child before you ... (read in full...)

I knocked back most of my ex's sexual requests, but he wants us to meet again! Why?

Q.   I recently met up with a very old flame, who I am trying not to think of as the love of my life. He wanted to show me his new house and we both knew where it would end up. However, his demands began with oral sex and got more extreme, and included ...

A.   20 September 2005: To have a repeat of what happened last time is why he wants to see you again. How dare he or anyone demand you have oral sex or anything else with them. That is not right. This guy is only out for what he can get from you he does not have any... (read in full...)

A.   20 September 2005: If he won't answer that question while he does answer other questions he is hiding something from you. Could he be married? That would explain why you didn't see body language. If you seen him go out to dinner with someone why didn't you go up and ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi, ive been left slightly worried over the past few months by some antics of my girlfriend, i really want to ask her but ive already let her down as i looked at some of her personal stuff as i had questions on my mind that i couldnt get answers for ...

A.   19 September 2005: Yes you are right I would be tempted to snoop, but temptation is why Eve ate from the tree. If your girlfriend is looking for another man, there is not really anything you can do about it, snooping or not. Snooping will only let you find out alittle ... (read in full...)

When they realised how many lies I was telling, my friends all ditched me!

Q.   I have made a big mistake. I used to lie about anything and everything to impresss my friends, and other times lies would just come out without me being able to stop myself from lying. I lie about big things, small things and usually also abo...

A.   18 September 2005: People can only split you up if you let them, but sound like your girlfriend is doing a good enough job of splitting you two up to begin with. She needs to let her, you, and her mum all sit down in one room together and get some things straight. ... (read in full...)

Could my guy still be looking for dates from the site he met me on?

Q.   Okay so here it is. About 3 months ago I was on a online dating website. I figured I would try it out. I created my profile and began my first search. The first profile that came up was a guy I used to know (not in a dating way) but through my ...

A.   14 September 2005: There is more going on than what he is leading you to believe. Take your time with him and try not to get to serious about him at least until you can find out what he is doing in the weeks he doesn't see you. You have already caught him in one lie ... (read in full...)

My girl didn't seem to care about me, until there was a chance I'd go out with someone else!

A.   14 September 2005: No do not pursue. She is using the "I don't want you but I don't want anyone else to have you" and that's wrong. If you pursue this girl she will only serve to destroy what you could have had with this other girl then she will be done with you ... (read in full...)

A.   14 September 2005: Move out and move on with your life. Your mother is a sick woman and your husband isn't any better. Make you a life that doesn't include either of them. This wasn't a one time deception it went on for 2 years. I don't see getting over that easily. ... (read in full...)

Plenty of sex with my boyfriend, but no orgasms while we're at it. What's wrong?

Q.   I believed it was a very good relationship, but I wanted to him to propose and didn't feel he was sure enough to do so. I told him, I wasn't going to wait longer than 3 years and he promised me he would propose on our 3 year anniversary. This is my ...

A.   8 September 2005: Not getting engaged now is the best thing you can do right now anyway. He is not ready for the big commitment or he wouldn't be doing what he is doing. There is more to, what your boyfriend has confessed to. I think when she walked up when he was ... (read in full...)
