Q.   Met a guy on a train, he asked to share my seat, there were plenty of others spare. We talked he asked questions about my journey,job blah blah had a laugh, he asked if I wanted to go for a drink. He lived too far away, so I said no. He got o...

A.   23 September 2014: Unless he was 16 and on a school trip, genuine. Attracted to you is my guess. You shot him down in flames, if you see him again then do as Intrigued3000 advises. ... (read in full...)

I'm not certain that he likes me in "that way"

Q.   For the past six months I have been working as a secretary to a doctor (he's only temporary). Anyways, we have kind of flirted with each other - prolonged eye contact, lingering around talking about stuff non-work related. When I took the work ...

A.   23 September 2014: If you don't want him to forget you - stay in touch! As for 200 miles, it is a long way and maybe too far - but keep the lines of communication open and see what develops. Hospitals are manic, doctors busy working long hours so he won't have to... (read in full...)

Q.   Hello, My girlfriend and I have been in a long distance relationship since Dec 2013. We met online and in one month, we will finally meet in person. She will introduce me to her family and relatives, and well even be going to an island resort fo...

A.   23 September 2014: She doesn't know if she is physically attracted to you and doesn't want to be intimate or think about it until you have had face to face time. For now your a friend she is meeting up with. She doesn't want to think you only want sex either. ... (read in full...)

A.   23 September 2014: Nothing ventured and all that Just call him, say hi, ask if he is free at some point. Then you will have your answer by his response. If its positive....Don't go to his place as it gives him expectations of sex.... (read in full...)

The ex: should I be concerned that I have been told that I am not "good in bed" ?

A.   21 September 2014: Delete him, his number and forget his stupid comments. He is just trying to pressure you into doing sex his way. Your not a porn star, your a woman who wants to be made love to by her man. In short not compatible with him. Next.............. (read in full...)

A.   21 September 2014: When you split up for a bit he spread his wings, did things HE wanted to do. Maybe he needed to be himself and felt he couldn't ever with you? Just because you and your parents don't like tattoos doesn't mean he cannot have one! He's a man, i... (read in full...)

A.   21 September 2014: Wait for a few weeks to confirm what - why are you letting him rule you ? Take control of your own life - do not 'wait' because it is over already. Now is the time to accept it, get over him and MOVE ON, LET GO because he has. It's not... (read in full...)

A.   21 September 2014: Wise Owl is right - keep sex out of it and let a relationship develop. He is definitely interested - unless he bought presents for everyone - he is also keeping the communication going by asking you to stay in touch too - so - stay in touch bu... (read in full...)

A.   21 September 2014: Its not wrong to feel like you do, it not only cements and brings home the reality that he has moved on, but that he has another child now. It will bring back memories of when you two had a child and all that emotion you shared It doesn't mean he ... (read in full...)

What are the best options to get through these issues with my partner's 28 year old daughter?

Q.   My partner's 28 year old daughter has never accepted me into her father's life. She pretends I don't exist. At first I would have done almost anything to get her to talk to me. Now 9 years on I don't care, but now she has decided to pop back int...

A.   8 September 2014: Well as you have your own place it's easy to avoid his daughter and stay out of the way. I still feel she does not 'have' to like you, but this means she is putting up barriers for herself. It means she will never have a happy visit with all of y... (read in full...)

A.   7 September 2014: As the man said 'forget we ever happened it was a mistake' Saying anything now would wreck too many lives - so keep your mouth firmly shut If you cannot cope with the guilt then split with your boyfriend - just don't say why - and move on... (read in full...)

He insists on keeping letters from ex's

Q.   I recently found out that my bf still keeps letters from his exes. It makes me uncomfortable because I throw away things my exes give me. Of course I understand that perhaps some people are more sentimental. Yet the irony in this is that he claim...

A.   7 September 2014: I have letters and momentos from past relationships. At the time they made me happy and so I kept them - only a few. I do not expect to get back with them nor do I hold a torch, its just something sweet that was said or given and its nice to come ... (read in full...)

A.   7 September 2014: We all meet people we don't like in life so it could be the daughter will never accept or like you. It could be a simple clash of personalities. That's life. It's not something you should split up with her dad over - not if you genuinely love and... (read in full...)

A.   6 September 2014: It depends how you and he met, if you were the reason he left home and her, then his daughter will never forgive you -why would she? If you met long after he divorced/split up/lost her mum then she may still be won over. However as she is 28 you w... (read in full...)
