What qualifies me to help people is definately a great question to answer. I have been around the world, had several relationships, been married once, divorced, suffered from addictions, actively involved in church, experienced loss of loved one's, have children, in a current engagement and have a passion of love for people and their well-being. I know what hurt is and I know what love is. I have a strong opinion and am not biased towards sexual, racial, nor ethnic backgrounds. I am not suprised at any question and have alot of EMPATHY towards most people. Sympathy comes from thinking you understand; empathy comes from definately understanding.

I grew up and currently live in Kansas City, Missouri. I'm about as mid-west as they come without the accent. I developed a good self esteem over many years of hard work and know that I'm a good person.

What makes me tick is that I thrive on helping anyone who ask's for help and giving the shirt off my back to the friends I've made throughout the years. I'm very cool and layedback while still being a musician, songwriter, artist and a DADDY.

I am currently engaged to a wonderful woman who adores me as I adore her. We actively communicate each and everday to see if there is something that we are missing, wishing or needing to develop in our efforts to better our relationship. Any relationship is worth the hard effort and work you must put into it to get happiness out of it. I am working everyday to fullfill her dreams, goals, ambitions, fantasies and spirit toward love; all the while she works on mine.

Q.   My bf of 3 years recently kissed another girl, we broke up! We hadn't eally been getting on for the past 6 months, well not not getting on its just we were both too busy for a relationship! Anyway I love this guy, I really really really adore him...

A.   19 December 2005: Did you see them kissing or did he tell you they kissed? The reason I say this is MEN do stupid things but if you caught him it's definately over. If he told you about it then maybe he is really sorry and won't do it again, however telling the one ... (read in full...)

He flirts with me constantly- I like him very much so where do I go from here?

Q.   he makes constant eye contact with me and its not just a stare, its like a real flirty sort of dreamy look, when we go out he makes an effort to laugh at my jokes, touch me, and generally be close to me, he tickles my feet and stuff, all i need to ...

A.   19 December 2005: Ok here we go. First things first is your right about ending up the way you think. Let's just try this one on. What if you let the relationship go where it goes instead of you putting your thoughts and ideas where you think they need to go and not ... (read in full...)

He's 46 and ogles the teen girls! How do I deal with this?

Q.   My boyfriend is 46 years old. I am the same age. Whenever, we are out shopping, he really looks (I mean really staring and ogling) at teen girls about the age of 13-16 years old. I feel rather disgusted with this behaviour and I feel sorry for the ...

A.   19 December 2005: You really are a girl of the worst kind. First your not ready to be called a GF and second if you just want sex then make sure you tell a guy that's all you want from him. When you grow up there will be someone waiting for you to treat you with ... (read in full...)

A.   19 December 2005: I'm truly sorry you are going through this as it is severe. On one hand if you run back or try harder you are enabling him. On the other hand you do love him and obviously most of the time he makes you happy. I have suffered with bouts of depression ... (read in full...)

A.   19 December 2005: I agree with codesa about age. Your situation is unique and WILL require dealing with certain aspects as they arise. If you let the age thing bother you it will become a problem. He is more experienced but that doesn't have anything to do with your ... (read in full...)
