Why is he being like that? Is it my fault?
Q. Basically I don't know what's wrong with my friend. We used to be so close but things have changed. I don't get what's wrong with him. Last summer it was the first time he started flirting with me and I told him not to. So he avoided me for ...
A. 15 July 2011: He obviously really likes you, keeps hoping you'll somehow change your mind and feel the same way about him. So it hurts him when he is rejected again so he becomes cold and avoids you to get over it and not show he's hurt. All the behaviours you ... (read in full...)
Should I apologize to her for my obessive behaviour?
Q. I have an obsessive behavior which means I can somehow force myself to do something that I do not want to do and if I want something, I would do anything to have it. This obsessive behavior is both benefiting and annoying because my obsessive beh...
A. 15 July 2011: Unless you've done something that is actually insulting and not just purely obsessive then no, I wouldn't bother as it will only draw attention to your behaviour and maybe even reinforce her ideas about you.
Just backing off and showing her you'... (read in full...)
How do you know if a guy will just use you for sex then leave?
Q. Dear Cupid...i would like to know how a woman knows a guy will leave you after you give him sex? Im in high school and as you all assume, guys are all after that. But in the world of "highschool", a guy will only wait for a girl for about 4-5 ...
A. 15 July 2011: Well the best way to tell is to wait and see if the guy will stay around longer than most would with no promise of sex and no date/timeline given.
Other ways to tell could be how often he mentions it/ brings it up in conversation - hinting ... (read in full...)
Life is miserable and I don't know what Iv done to deserve this..
Q. Hi guys. I just really wanted to get some stuff off my chest. I'm a 16 year old closeted guy and I just don't know what to do anymore. I've been sad and depressed for the past 3-4 years, and I've tried my hardest to cope with it. But when does the...
A. 14 July 2011: I used to think and feel like you did. Everyone may be obsessed with youth these days but I wouldn't go back to my teens if someone paid me. Your age group is really the hardest time, you have to go to school and spend time with some immature people ... (read in full...)
I always wonder if I am doing something wrong in the relationship, or am I with the wrong man?
Q. My boyfriend had mentioned that he is bothered because I seem analytical and cold. I am very affectionate. I give him hugs. I tell him I love him. I asked him why he is bothered by me being analytical. He said he couldn't tell me. Do men just expect ...
A. 14 July 2011: Well judging by the last bit of your post I am wondering whether or not you are not only over analysing everything he does but then also thinking the worst and questioning him about everything. If this is the case then this is more obsessional, ... (read in full...)

Is he punishing me for breaking-up with him ?
Q. So... i broke up with my bf two months ago. We were together for five years, in a long distance relationship, and we had a lot of arguments; at first, he was really hurt, and so was i. I didn't want to break up with him, but i am goig through a hard ...
A. 2 July 2011: No I don't think he is punishing you.
I think it's obvious the break up really upset him and that he still has/had feelings for you. Maybe he's a bit oversensitive about things. It could also be that the sleep jokes reminded him of when you were... (read in full...)
Should I lose my virginity if I am ready and if it is starting to make me insecure?
Q. I am not asking this question about losing my virginity for the sake of being ''cool'' and ''popular'' becuase I am honestly an older guy who is far beyond that mindset. I am only considering losing my virginity for my own sanity and not for ...
A. 2 July 2011: Personally I'd suggest you just throw yourself into dating and maybe not putting so much worry on being a player. In my opinion a player is a person who sleeps with girls while promising them more which they never intend to keep to. If you have the ... (read in full...)

A. 1 July 2011: In the UK gay sex at 16 is legal. Although as Aunt honesty said make sure you're actually ready and want to do this. You don't have to go through with it because you said you would when drunk and to be honest she shouldn't have asked you seriou... (read in full...)
Can't make friends or make any impact on anyone. No-one cares for me as I do them.

Are these red flags? Do you think he's hiding something from me?
Q. I could really use some advise and wise words about this guy I've been seeing. I met him online, we emailed back and forth for a week before meeting in person. I think everyone knows the dangers of online dating and the creeps out there, so I'...
A. 26 June 2011: He might me, he might not. Just coming out with facts when you talk to him sounds like someone with autism/aspergers which also explains (to some extent) why he doesn't have many friends and the strangeness about not furnishing his house. So have a ... (read in full...)

A. 25 June 2011: To be honest I think you need to stop being so obsessed with this guy (I noticed your other post). Maybe he just wasn't that into you, yeah he had a fun time that day but there wasn't anything more to it than that. He may have to talked to you a bit ... (read in full...)

A. 15 June 2011: Well you really aren't going to be able to tell from some Facebook photos, they could easily be friends or family. One player I knew of deliberately avoided putting photos of himself on there with any women in so if he added a woman he met on a ... (read in full...)
