Is he interested in me and if so how do I let him know I'm interested too?

Q.   Hey guys, basically I am not sure if this guy likes me. I've never had a boyfriend before and never really had a "crush" on anyone until recently. I started uni two months ago and that's when I met him - through a society. I'm ridiculously shy which ...

A.   12 November 2012: It sounds to me like he likes you. I've been terribly shy most of my life too. However, a few years ago i developed a mind trick that really seemed to help when it came to dating. I would just convince myself that person i liked really, ... (read in full...)

Would you break up with someone over something like this?

Q.   My boyfriends exes have all looked very similar, tall, very thin with a flat chest. He's not particularly tall, 5'10''. I'm quite short, I have broad shoulders, big boobs, but small waist and hips with muscly thighs. I'm not fat so I don't have body ...

A.   12 November 2012: I'm quite sure he looks at all kinds of girls. It's just that you're noticing it more when it's tall skinny ones because that's where your insecurity lies. Who cares about the past.. i'ts over. As you said it's a pretty new relation... (read in full...)

Why was he so harsh towards me?

Q.   I'm 24 years old. I posted a question on here a while back, about my guy best friend ditching me because of his jealous girlfiend. I have a similar situation now and I need advice on what to do! He got back in touch with me about 4 weeks ago, he ...

A.   12 November 2012: This is complex. I can certainly understand your hurt and anger... it's ok to feel that way when getting blown off by someone you care about. However, i think if this is really a platonic relationship and you care about him as a friend. You can ... (read in full...)

His comment has damaged my self esteem. What should I do now?

Q.   Basically, my crush called me ugly indirectly a few days back. He did indeed mention that he was joking, however, this is not the first time something like this has happened. It really crushed my self esteem, especially since they were talking about ...

A.   12 November 2012: He either treats you like a queen.... or kick him to the curb. Set the pattern for your life now while your young. If they don't treat you with respect... all the time. Say good bye, and never look back. It will shock you how much guys will w... (read in full...)

A.   3 August 2007: Just shoot him a smile and say "Hi", the next time you see him. I wouldn't call that making the first move, i'd call it just being polite. After a few times, just introduce yourself. Its to hard to say if he'll be interested or not, but just ... (read in full...)

My friend is pregnant and her bf cheats on her. How can I help her?

Q.   Ok well I'm on BCP, so I'm not trying for a baby. But I was wondering how easy it would be for a 17 year old to get pregnant. In a magazine I read that under 18 it is very easy to fall pregnant - If this is true, why is it? Alot of my friends ar...

A.   1 August 2007: I don't know if its true that its easier to get pregnant if you're younger than 18. I doubt it... once your fertile, your fertile. I think they are just trying to discourage younger people from having sex. However, i think there can be a gre... (read in full...)

A.   1 August 2007: The great difficulty with decisions like this (especially at your age) is that you lead so much with your heart. Heart is good but you need an equal portion of head to make the right decision. The good news is your head is working well enough that ... (read in full...)

I want to stay with her but her trust issues are making it very difficult

Q.   Hi- I have a tough one. I am engaged to a girl that I have only known for 1.5 years and we have a 9 week old baby. She wants the relationship, yet has some serious trust and insecurity issues. Her dad cheated on her mom and her mother told her...

A.   1 August 2007: You're right, you do have to give up on this relationship. Even if there is some therapy that can help, she needs to resolve those problems before she is ready for a long-term relationship. Trust is the very foundation of any relationship and if ... (read in full...)

A.   30 July 2007: You really can't do anything. The more you try help him or reach out to him, the more he'll push back. Just leave him be. Call or write him and just say "hey, i know you need your space and i'm going to leave you alone now to handle your ... (read in full...)

A.   30 July 2007: I hate to say this but i applaud what your girlfriend did. It's great that at such a young age she's strong enough to walk away from you, while at the same time teaching you that there are consequences to your actions. Perhaps you'll be a little ... (read in full...)

Q.   hi, basically ive recently got married but we are already having problems we have a daughter together and have been together 4 years previous to getting married. my husband has threatened to leave twice but going as far as packing his packs and me ...

A.   30 July 2007: The first thing that really struck me in your writing is how you had to beg him to stay when he threatened to leave. Unfortunately, i think that is the worst thing you can do. This is his way of manipulating you and you shouldn't let him get away ... (read in full...)

Is it true, 'what comes around goes around'?

Q.   My partner left after seventeen years togther. She found a new boyfriend within a few days. She handled the breakup poorly telling me over the phone. I turned up at her workplace to she if we could sort things out but was only to find her new part...

A.   30 July 2007: Is it true that what comes around goes around? I don't believe there has been any scientific studies on that yet... it doesn't seem to me that its true... it just sometimes makes us temporarily feel better to think it does. It doesn't really ... (read in full...)

A.   30 July 2007: It seems to me that your being tired might be one of the causes for your moody behaivor. If so, what can you do to rid yourself of being tired? Try to figure out what else might be causing you to be moody, and rid yourself of that too. I'm ... (read in full...)

Q.   I had a really down weekend with my boyfriend. He noticed I was a bit off by very few times I respond back “I love you too”. We attended his god sister’s wedding and I was very upset about how much attention he pays on me. He was talking to his ...

A.   30 July 2007: Don't judge him to harshly on this wedding. If his lack of attentiveness is pattern or and emerging pattern than there is cause for concern. But for some people (including me) they just get excited and caught up with seeing people they haven't ... (read in full...)

A.   30 July 2007: What if one of your daughters was all grown up and she came to you with the exact same problem? What would your answer be then? Would you tell her to keep chasing after a guy who clearly doesn't respect her? Would you tell her to have sex with a ... (read in full...)

A.   27 July 2007: I would strongly encourage you to stay away from online dating. I've heard some of the saddest stories ever from people who chose to date online. OK, with that said, I've been dating the same person for 18 months who i met online. Yes, you can ... (read in full...)

A.   20 July 2007: You can't live your life in fear. Sure it might be awkward, but thats what life is all about. How awkward will it be if your 20 and you still haven't kissed a guy? It doesn't often happen that they person we really like, also likes us, so take ... (read in full...)

He says he is ok with me wanting to with him or someone else. He doesnt care either way!

Q.   I just got back with my boyfriend of two years after a month and a half break-up. Now he says that he learned that he doesn't own me so that's why he doesn't care if I was with someone else because I can do whatever I want. He says that if I want to ...

What turns a guy on?

Q.   Guys what turns you on? How can a girl make sex better for you?...

A.   12 July 2007: The best sex for me always comes from the connection of being in love. Casual sex doesn't even compare. So for a girl to make sex better for me, she's gonna have to get me to fall in love with her. Otherwise just be open, relaxed, and have fun... (read in full...)
