A.   14 November 2007: I can't totally go along with the idea of boyfriend/girlfriend chemistry after a week, you need time to get to know each other etc. I recently went on 2 dates with a complete stranger, we both openly admitted we found the other to be wonderful ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hey Basically, i have known this friend of a friend of mine off msn for a long time, and recently i met her in person, we get along fine and she is great fun to hang around with, only thing is she seems me as a friend at the moment, and i think...

A.   14 November 2007: It's the old dilemma I'm afraid - tell her that you like her as more than a friend & risk losing the friendship, say nothing & retain the friendship but always wonder if it could have been more. Firstly though don't put yourself down by saying y... (read in full...)

A.   13 November 2007: Did you know this guy before you hooked up ?. A month & a half isn't a long time if he was a complete stranger, but at the same time in my experience usually within 6 weeks I'd know whether I felt more towards a woman or not, as the initial ... (read in full...)

A.   13 November 2007: To me you've got nothing to lose by saying something & from your post it sounds as though she is trying to tell you that she doesn't want to be with her current boyfriend & wants to be with you, but needs you to confirm that you want to be with her ... (read in full...)

What's the best way to ask her out?

Q.   This may seem really stupid, but I was wondering, how do you ask someone out? What type of things do you say? Is it "will you go out with me" or something like "will you be mine" My friends are really pressuring me to ask this girl out in my ...

A.   13 November 2007: Don't let your friends pressure get to you for starters, because if you like this girl & want to ask her out you want to come over calm, cool & chilled, & not a nervous, gibbering wreck !. & on that note don't be worried about being rejected, if ... (read in full...)

Is my girlfriend being unfair?

Q.   Hi, My girlfriend and I have been dating for about 11 months. But as of late, she has been insanely clingy. She lives about an hour away from me, and after we separate during the weekdays, we haven't not argued once on skype because she says...

A.   13 November 2007: It's a start that you recognise there's a problem & something needs to be done, because it sounds like she is basically both controlling & ruining your life (not necessarily deliberately). You say you argue alot, is it about this particular issue ... (read in full...)

A.   12 November 2007: Why not start with some 'nice' questions, like what he likes about you the most, what would be his dream date with you etc. I'd start with 10 questions along those lines & then writing the answers should make him horny & he'll probably be bold & ... (read in full...)

Q.   My boyfriend of 7 years broke up about 4 months ago. we survived losing our son and also we had both cheated on the other during our relationship but we got past it. he was moving away but we got together and decided that since he was moving to ...

She hasn't returned my calls.

Q.   I have been in a two month relationship with my girlfriend and I have never pushed her to do anything she doesn't want to do. Yesterday night, while we were making out, I asked her something, and she said that she wasn't ready (it wasn't sex),...

A.   12 November 2007: Is there a possibility she might not have been able to return your calls ? - e.g. working long hours etc. Not saying this is the case here but it's easy to sometimes think there's an issue when there isn't, & if you keep on calling her that might ... (read in full...)

A.   10 November 2007: Assuming this boy is a similar age to you I think he should have moved on from his ex by now, it's unlikely they had been together for years. Personally I think you need to tell him that you can't wait any longer & that he's only going to forget ... (read in full...)

Q.   I met someone from the internet y'day afternoon, following a brief email exchange which she instigated and we seemed to get on well, after a couple of hours chatting she invited me to meet one of her friends which I did and when we parted she ...

A.   1 October 2007: Thanks for the answers, the last thing I want to do is come over too expectant or eager, we've only met once & it's early days, hence why I don't want to make too much of a 'move', I said in my email that I thought we got on well & would like to ... (read in full...)

A.   20 September 2007: It's easy to 'personalise' a response on this site so that you feel that the writer is everything you could want from someone, but think about it rationally, you know nothing about this person, you could walk past them in the street and wouldn't ... (read in full...)

A.   20 September 2007: Perhaps you came over a little too keen ?. As a result the lady in question may have deliberately faded away. There's nothing worse than coming over too keen and/or needy, I'd suggest you don't chase her so much, just be there for her as a mate, ... (read in full...)

Q.   Why is it that the really nice, good guys just arent that 'attractive'? I hav a friend who is SOOOOOOOOO nice and caring and is sooo supportive of me. Hes been there for me all the time. From my last break up with a bad bf, to a car accident I ...

A.   20 September 2007: I don't think you should be hard on yourself by suggesting that you're in any way "shallow", no matter what people say there always has to be some kind of physical attraction also, but also physical attraction is subjective, so you will be attracted ... (read in full...)

A.   13 September 2007: What did he say when you tried to talk to him about your concerns ?. I can understand your concerns, I'd have thought if there was something going on he would have told you when you asked him. If I was you I'd try to hang in there for the next ... (read in full...)

A.   12 September 2007: Have you explained to her that you'd appreciate a little bit of time to move on after her rejection so that you can stay good friends and put it behind you? I wouldn't invite her to the dance, I'd ask someone else. Perhaps she isn't really sure ... (read in full...)

My boyfriend is on dating sites as single and looking. Is this the same as cheating?

Q.   I'm really confused whether I should sacrifice my happy relationship of a year because my boyfriend constantly joins and hides his online (local) dating sites, sex personals etc. He claims he loves me and wants to be with me, but then why would h...

A.   11 September 2007: Glad you were able to talk things through with him & hopefully sorted things out. I'm still a little perplexed as your initial message suggested he was still 'active' on the internet sites, the issue of when he joined them really doesn't matter, ... (read in full...)

A.   11 September 2007: Perhaps he appreciates that you've only recently come out of a long-term relationship so doesn't want to rush things ?. If I was you I would respond to his smiles & to an extent his flirting & just let things follow their natural course, you will ... (read in full...)

A.   9 September 2007: I think he probably saw you as more than just a work colleague, but only in a friendly sense & perhaps now realises you were interpretating that as romance, hence why he's suddenly gone distant. Although asking him for coffee isn't that bold a move ... (read in full...)

A.   6 September 2007: Have you any idea who the girl who sent the texts is ? - perhaps a daft suggestion but she couldn't be a relative ?. You also mention that your boyfriend has told you he's never cheated on his ex's - have you previously expressed concern that he ... (read in full...)

She's joined facebook and this angers me... Is this normal?

Q.   So my girlfriend and I have been together for 4 years and things for the most part seem to be going great. I even bought a ring a few months ago with the intent to propose on our anniversary now 1 month away. Here's the problem. She started a new ...

A.   6 September 2007: Have you any idea if she texts her boss back ? - the fact he still texts around that time suggests she probably does, otherwise why would he keep doing it ?. It's a 'dangerous' time to text also, I could understand a boss occasionally texting a ... (read in full...)

I want to try getting with a girl I've liked for a long time. She is in a relationship but do you think she will be bored with him by now?

Q.   Hi I sent some emails to a girl at school almost a year ago now saying that I liked her, but she rejected me because at the time she was in a strong relationship. Now I am thinking about trying to win her affections once again but I am not sure ...

A.   3 September 2007: If you do tell him then you may well lose him, I've always believed that honesty is the best policy in this world (even though I've never slept with someone whilst dating someone else) and being honest hasn't always helped. Are you likely to feel ... (read in full...)

A.   31 August 2007: Not a nice situation to be in. However, you need, no matter how hard it may be, to draw a line under the situation, accept what you had has gone, and move on. You are building up the tower of disappointment and punishing yourself over it, I know ... (read in full...)

A.   30 August 2007: 20 miles isn't exactly a long way away so why not take the plunge and ask him out for a drink? In a way it's an ideal opportunity because you can say that you've been thinking about it for a while but didn't mention it because you didn't want ... (read in full...)
