I'm 29 and born and raised in California.

I've gone through quite a few relationships! Some were great and some were down right terrible!

I really enjoy trying to help people get through relationship woes. Sometimes they can be life consuming and everyone can use a little help from time-to-time.

How do I come across as being more gay?

Q.   Ok this is going to sound weird. I'm gay. Unfortunately I just learned that i don't come across as such at all. One kid had to finally ask me. So my question is, how do I come across "gayer" I know it sounds insane, but I'd rather not hide i...

A.   7 September 2010: That really doesn't make sense to me...and again this could be because I'm not gay. But I think the way men show that they're gay is by acting more feminine/flamboyant or whatnot. I don't know how else you can come accross as more gay other than ... (read in full...)

When someone says they are thinking of you, opinions please!

Q.   When someone says they are or have been thinking of you is it considered: 1) friendly 2) relationship material or 3) quit making a big deal of it? I don't want to go into details in my case, I want to see other people's opinions and their...

A.   6 September 2010: D. All of the above! It just depends on the situation and person. I'll say it to my girlfriends because I haven't seen them in a long time and sometimes I get busy or they're busy, but just want to let them know that I still value their ... (read in full...)

A.   6 September 2010: Your father will probably come around in time. Just give him time to accept it and when your baby comes I'm sure he'll be a VERY proud grandfather. I don't think you should try to force anything on him, just be the same around him as you are with ... (read in full...)

Is it wrong to read his text messages?

Q.   First off, I know it's wrong to spy on your partners phone records and/or email account, but I have done both. I hacked into the email account and can see text records from phone account, but unfortunately cant read texts. I notice an occasional 4 ...

A.   6 September 2010: I think it's only wrong to do if you have no reason to. As in he hasn't been acting different or there hasn't been anything suspicious you've notice. If you are just breaking into his accounts because you're insecure and need some reassurance, ... (read in full...)

Is there something I can do to make my period happen faster?

Q.   I'm 16; and haven't had my period, I'm worried because my boyfriend and i had sex 2 weeks ago and it didn't feel like he pulled up in in time and some of 'it' was inside of me; My period was only meant to come yesterday but i was just wondering if ...

A.   6 September 2010: You are wondering if there's a way you make your period come faster and you would never have an abortion and you probably can't even take care of a child...a better question you should be asking yourself is if you are really responsible enough to be ... (read in full...)

A.   6 September 2010: You'd rather not hide it, but acting like you're "gayer" would be hiding who you really are. I'm obviously not gay or a man, so I don't know if other gay men prefer to look for a more flamboyant type of dude or not, but just stay true to yourself. ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hey my boyfriend thinks i might be bi curious or bi sexual but i dont think i am. So i was wondering how do you know for sure if you are? He thinks i am cause i some times have sexual dreams about girls and i would rather watch girl on girl porn ...

A.   5 September 2010: Your boyfriend doesn't "think" you're bi or bicurious, more like he HOPES. I think it's normal to be curious, I think everyone is at some point in their life; however, if you aren't really into women as in not wanting to have a relationship with ... (read in full...)

How do I lose 11 pounds fast?

Q.   I'm 121 pounds and 5' 4 and I would like to lose about 11 pounds. I work out 3-4 times a week for about an hour. I try and eat healthy - ish. Any suggestions?...

A.   4 September 2010: If you want to lose 11 lbs. fast...then there's really not a "healthy" way to do it. It's considered healthy to lose only a few pounds a week, so it would take at least a month to be close and that's if you don't plateau. If you want to really ... (read in full...)

A.   3 September 2010: I would ask your doctor--or just call and the nurse can probably tell you if it's okay to switch when you start. Mine always starts one Tuesday or Wednesday and I hate having it during the weekends also :( I'm guessing you do a Sunday start so ... (read in full...)

Q.   Help! My boyfriend of 4 years posted personals Men to Men on Craigslist. I was totally shocked. In addition he semed to know all the lingo and I am totally disgusted by reading it. Appears he is not new at this. I even replied to one of his ...

A.   3 September 2010: Oh wow! Don't feel bad about finding the ad and replying to it. At least that is a sure way to find out what he's up to. Honestly, if you tell him about the incident he's probably going to go with one of a few things: he'll deny it and say it ... (read in full...)

A.   2 September 2010: Perhaps you can try checking out some state or federally funded programs (if you're in the states). I've looked into them as my mother has a mental illness and there is one called NAMI, their website is nami.org and they may have something that ... (read in full...)

A.   7 August 2010: I think you probably know that your girlfriend is sounding pretty much like a liar. You've known your friend for 6-years and you've only recently started dating her...believe your friend! It sounds like she's being shady. Perhaps she avoids ... (read in full...)

Why do guys ask for a number and then never call?

Q.   Why would a guy make it a point to get a girl's number and not call? I have been told if a man is interested he will call within a day of asking, but I really don't want to buy into the idea of rules and games when it comes to relationships and ...

A.   4 August 2010: One thing I've heard from a guy is that he may be interested in a girl based on her looks, he goes to speak to her and it turns out he's not really that interested, so he ends up feeling bad and asks for her number with no intention of calling her. ... (read in full...)

A.   31 July 2010: I agree, you need to save everything that that girl sends to you: text messages, voicemails and your call log. Don't be embarrassed to get your parents involved. They should also be contacting the dean and telling him what's going on and that this ... (read in full...)

No comfort or serious communication from my friends, what should I do?

Q.   I feel drained and used by my friends. When they have problems, I listen to them and am there for them. However when I talk to them, they don't repay me in the same way. They'll instead reply with "Well, at least this didn't happen" or they try to ...

A.   29 July 2010: I don't think it's childish at all. I'm 26 and go through the same thing with my friends. Honestly, I feel the same way A LOT of the time. But I guarantee you, at least one of them probably feels the same way you do. I think all you can do i... (read in full...)

Q.   Me and my girlfriend had been together for 4 years. It was getting to the point in the relationship where I had to decide if I was going to marry this person or not. In thinking about this for a while I became really confused and asked to take a ...

A.   25 July 2010: I'm sure your girlfriend was assuming that this "break" was so that you could get your head together and figure out what you want...not go and date someone else for a few weeks and make that a deciding factor that you want to be with your ... (read in full...)

A.   25 July 2010: Well it's hard to know without knowing you. Surely it has nothing to do with your apppearance as far as being "pretty" or "ugly." I worked in customer service for many years, and it didn't matter how the person looked--if an ugly person or pretty ... (read in full...)
