I am older and wiser! If only the current me had been around to give the younger me some much-needed advice .. not that I would have listened anyway. As a teenager (and beyond) I thought that sex'n'drugs'rock'n'roll were the best goals in life .. how wrong I was. Ok for light relief but not to be pursued as a lifestyle.

What about his history? Can I trust him?

Q.   I have just started to see this guy for a week and I have found out that he used to sleep with anything that walked and ended up with a sexual disease, so by then his wife had found out and chucked him out! I'm not sure if I can trust him! What do I ...

A.   4 August 2006: "Used to sleep with anything that walked"??! But he gave all that up when he met you, right ;))... (read in full...)

Should my friend's history with relationships be considered when I only want her as my child's godparent?

Q.   I have a very annoying problem and wondered if you could give me some advice anyone? My partner and I are trying to sort our baby daughters christening and are arguing over choice of godparents. I want my best friend who I have known for 26 years...

A.   4 August 2006: Regardless of 'official status' it sounds like your friend is a valuable part of your daughter's life and that's the most important thing. I had a godmother I rarely saw, no close connection. I think your partner is out of order but it's your ... (read in full...)

When he says that I'm unforgettable, is that just a line?

Q.   When a guy says that he will never forget you and gives reasons why, is it because he has feelings for you or is it just a cheesy line because they aren't interested and just want to a make you think that they will think of you....

A.   4 August 2006: If you're unsure, consider how he treats you, how he acts around you. Judge him by his actions. ... (read in full...)

My Friend has a Boyfriend, but Could She Like Me?

Q.   Help me figure out if this girl likes me, because although she's in a relationship, I'm starting to wonder if she wants things to go further with me. First off, we've hooked up before and she cheated on her partner with me. Second, she used...

A.   4 August 2006: I think you are way too available to her. She's cheated on someone before to be with you, now she's with someone else but leans on you a lot. If she liked you that much why is she now seeing someone else? Maybe she doesn't know what she wants but ... (read in full...)

Is Online Dating Right for Me?

Q.   After a breakup a year ago I recently joined an online dating service at the same time as my sister who had just gone through a divorce. I would say that we are both attractive women but she has had a lot of success meeting men this way and I have ...

A.   4 August 2006: I've had some experience of net dating and it can be daunting. Was lucky enough to meet someone in the real world but would definitely try online dating again if I end up single again. You might want to consider not writing men off so quickly - you ... (read in full...)

Am I naiive for giving this guy another chance?

Q.   hiya, i have a dilemma. I am 25 years old and i was seeing this guy for almost a year but he is only 22. He was attending university but basically never went cos towards the end of our relationship, all he wanted to do was party. We ended up split...

A.   25 July 2006: Rather than make a huge on/off decisions why not see each other in a low-level way for a few weeks to see how you get on? Keep it cool, don't spend the night together, effecively just go on a few dates. Get to know each other again in a new way. I ... (read in full...)

He doesnt make the effort when I need him to, does this mean he doesnt really love me ?

Q.   I love him but does he love me? I have been with my boyfriend for over a year now. We have a very loving relationship and both hope to move in together soon. But I often worry if he is just with me because it's easier than being alone. He will spe...

A.   14 July 2006: Aside from the specifics basically he won't do anything that he doesn't want to, even if it's important to you. Fast forward five years. You're still together but he's still leaving you to your own thing whenever he feels like it. Happy?... (read in full...)

A.   14 July 2006: Sounds like he's interested in having sex with you. I wouln't bother to go after him unless that's all you want from him.... (read in full...)

I need some advice on Multiple Sclerosis!!

Q.   Does any one know anything about Multiple sclerosis I read some stuff on the wikipedia site, however I was wondering if it was genetic. Particularly if my boyfriend has it what are the risks that any children may also carry the disease? ANd...

A.   14 July 2006: I think the anonymous poster is being too harsh. You might just have met this guy last week for all we know. I don't think you're being selfish - sometimes in life you have to put yourself first, for other people's benefit too. At least you are ... (read in full...)

Don't know whether I should keep dating my ex, or give up completely!

Q.   I have been on again/off again dating a guy for about 1 and 1/2 years. We are exclusive for 1 year, and now we are back and forth. I hate it... I am very indecisive about being with him. Yet, when I am out with friends or whatever, and maybe meet ...

A.   9 July 2006: Sounds like the comfy old sweater you don't like to wear any more unless there's nothing better around .. are you both using each other rather than facing up to being alone? You went out for quite a time - it didn't work out, so let it go. ... (read in full...)

How do I prepare for sex?

Q.   I'm a 20 y/o female. I've been with my boyfriend for about 3 months. He want's to have sex, but only when I'm ready. He's aware that I'm a virgin. I think I'm ready as ready as i'll ever be anyway We are hanging out this weekend. He dones't know ...

A.   9 July 2006: "prepare yourself for the experience" are you taking a test ;) I think the idea of just letting it happen is good. However, going straight from kissing to intercourse is a bit fast - there's a lot can happen in between. Enjoying being physical ... (read in full...)

Me this guy through internet chatting...I like him but not sure if I trust him. What can I do?

Q.   I have a boyfriend and i just met him thru the internet chatting, we live in the same town but he's out of town to study college, we chatted a lot and exchanging texts messages and talk to the phone, this is my first time to have a long distance ...

A.   9 July 2006: Not clear if you have actually met this person and know for sure that he checks out. In any relationship, if there's mutual love/affection and trust then generally there is no need to worry. Sounds like you don't know each other too well though .. ... (read in full...)

Not over my ex, he's moved on, how do I?

Q.   Me and my bf have been apart from nearly 3 months now and i still miss him more than ever and i hate it, he's moved on and he tells me this all the time how doesnt love me or how he never did and it breaks my heart. I just wish i could move on i don...

A.   9 July 2006: I'd guess it would be pretty hard to move on from someone you still see constantly and who tells you he never liked you anyway ... You need to spend less - in fact, zero - time around him. There's a new guy - so spend time with him, away from the ... (read in full...)

My friends seem to keep letting me down - feeling loney!

Q.   I feel really lonely but don’t know what to do about it. I am 30 years old. This feeling gradually crept up on me as one by one my friends have either settled down or moved away until I am the only one left. I have been shedding a few tears about ...

A.   9 July 2006: Sorry if I sound harsh here but I'm early 40s and your story rings a lot of bells with me, having lived alone for 10+ years. Unfortunately, you are the one with the problem, not your friends. Yes, they have priorities above your well-being. Yup, ... (read in full...)
