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.

A.   15 September 2012: Umm no...if a man won't do any of the above and has to be asked like it's a chore for him, I would say it would be more of a cause than him actually doing so.... (read in full...)

A.   12 September 2012: As some of the answers provided by person12345's link...as long as they are not attracted to each other, then yes. If even just 1 person is attracted, then yes, for a limited time; until one person wants to take the relationship further and the ... (read in full...)

Why do people hold such views?

Q.   I am lesbian. Been with my girlfriend for nearly 6 months now. Most of my friends are fine with it, however a handful of my friends don't seem to understand and realise my sexuality. They say that lesbian sex isn't 'real' sex as there is no male to ...

A.   12 September 2012: Why do you feel the need to discuss your sex life with others? I personally could care less if someone is gay, but if you're going to discuss your sex life then I'm going to be annoyed with it because frankly, I care as much about your sex life... (read in full...)

My ex has a new girlfriend barely a month after we broke up, and he's going all out to profess his love for her!

Q.   My ex broke up with me like 4 weeks ago. It was such a hurtful break up that I kept questioning myself what went wrong in our 5 year relationship. The love, the mental, physical, and emotional aspects were there too but maybe they were to me and not ...

A.   9 September 2012: Who cares? You're not with him anymore. Tell your friends to quit updating you as to what he's doing for her because it's clearly making you upset. He's moved on and you should too.... (read in full...)

My parents allow my younger sister more freedom than I ever had. Makes things very difficult. What changes should I instigate to help me cope with this?

Q.   This doesn't really have anything to do with relationships, but I need some advice. I hate hate hate being the oldest sibling. I have one younger sister, 15 years old, and I love her to bits but she is driving me insane right now. Ever since she...

A.   9 September 2012: Honestly, I think this is pretty normal. I'm the youngest of three girls and my middle sister would get so upset because as she said that my parents let me "get away with murder." Which was true, my parents let me get away with and do things that ... (read in full...)

I am worried about him financially. Am I wrong??

Q.   Hi aunts and uncles :) I will try to make this short. My bf moved in with my two children and I about three months ago. He has helped us out with rent,cable, electric AND food. Hasn't missed a week of payments. A few weeks ago he called me a...

A.   5 September 2012: Well just because you'd handle it one way doesn't mean he's wrong for not handling it the same way. He probably figures there's not much he can do except pay back what he needs to pay back...life will go on. I'm kind of that way, so I kind of get ... (read in full...)

How much of a deal breaker is penis size?

A.   4 September 2012: I think it really just depends on the woman. I prefer a guy on the bigger side (not too big) as opposed to a guy on the smaller side. But I've know girls that like guys that are smaller. I'm assuming it's similar to how some men prefer women with ... (read in full...)

A.   3 September 2012: Yep, I agree. Your boyfriend's "explanation" is complete BS and not only an invasion of privacy but weird and perverted! You should be insulted that he thinks you're so stupid to believe his dumb story. If it were that simple, he would just ask ... (read in full...)
