A.   13 July 2013: I don't think staring is flirting!!! People stare out of curiosity so it can be good or bad. You don't know this man, you have fallen for a fantasy! If you do want to leave your relationship then that is something you should do, but then maybe be s... (read in full...)

He goes MIA to watch porn, or go to a strip club. I'm feeling very deflated. Should I stay?

Q.   My husband and I have been married for 7 months and dated for 5 years. Recently our sex life has been few and far between. I am a very sexual person and would have sex everyday if he was in to it. He denies me sex but has no problem watching ...

A.   10 July 2013: Have you talked to him about the lack of sex life? You need a really open conversation which is about sharing how you feel and not accusations. No one can say if he is lieing or telling the truth, but the paranoia seems to be stressful for you... (read in full...)

Q.   So I have been friends with this girl for about a year now. We're best friends and everything was fine up until recently when one of my friend told me that she is bi and likes me... Which I don't have a problem with seeing as I'm bi. I just fi...

A.   28 June 2013: More likely just natural vaginal discharge which is not related to anything sexual at all. Just look at all the feminine products out there for discharge and you will realise it is all part of being female!... (read in full...)

My gf doesn't want me to please her because she thinks I expect the same back

Q.   Hi there. I have a girlfriend and I love. I sometimes do nice and cute stuff to make her happy. And I usually expect to be rewarded for doing so by her as well. As it appears, she doesn't share my point of view. I offered her to make a romantic...

A.   30 May 2013: I think your girlfriend is right. Doing things for someone only to get rewarded is very selfish. If you do something for someone you need to expect nothing in return. Why would she want to do anything for you when your actions are so selfish?... (read in full...)

Has anyone with retrograde jealousy ever come to terms with it and found peace?

Q.   About 2 years ago I posted an issue in this forum about how my wife cheated on me while we were dating and how lost her virginity to another man. This was despite her telling me she would not have premarital sex with anyone until married and I ...

A.   30 May 2013: This isn't retrograde jealousy, you are hurt because she cheated and lied there is a loss of trust which takes time to rebuild. Women always cheat for a reason, maybe you could look back at how you were in the relationship at that time. You talk ... (read in full...)

Is it wrong to be a serial lunch dater?

Q.   I view lunch dates as a fun way to meet new people, as well as a diplomatic alternative to me saying NO DATES FOR YOU. But recently a friend told me: You shouldn't go on dates with men who you aren't attracted to... that is the equivalent of le...

My gf is never interested in sex and I am starting to miss my ex. How should I deal with this?

Q.   My girlfriend seems to never be interested in sex. We've been together for eight months now and only had sex TWICE, two months ago. It's getting to the point where I can't handle the frustration anymore. I take her out, I buy her gifts, flowers, ...

A.   27 May 2013: If I'd only had sex with a partner twice ever I'd have left them so you must be getting something else out if this relationship. I'm assuming your girlfriend either a) has a low sex drive or b) isn't as sexually attracted to you as you are to her.... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi there, I have a question about oral sex on a woman friend (or lack of). Several months ago when we first became intimate, she performed oral on me (with condom)and i politely asked if i could return the favour. The answer to my question was 'No, ...

She flirts virtually, not as much in real life, I'm interested: not sure what to do

Q.   Very recently, I met a girl through a professional social network (weird, I know!). We started chatting, texting every other day, till we decided to meet. After the first meeting, I made it clear that I was interested in her romantically. (I said it ...

Q.   I have been with my boyfriend for over 6 months and we are in love and live together. We have a really good and happy relationship apart from one thing. He would rather masturbate than have sex with me. Iv talked to him about it and he said that he ...

A.   21 May 2013: You've only been together 6 months and this behaviour has been going on for months?! Sounds like you've jumped into a bad relationship. Your boyfriend needs to sort out his drug issues and you need to work out what you really want from a ... (read in full...)

Q.   Dear Aunts and Uncles, I have been on two dates with a wonderful woman and over the course of these dates I have found out that she is perfect for me in every way. The problem is that even though the dates were successful it seems that I'm n...

A.   21 May 2013: Some girls don't like to show a guy that they aren't interested. They feel bad so they pretend to have a good time. She obviously isn't interested or she would have text or called. A week is way to long for her to get in touch now...... (read in full...)

Would you date someone with so many tattoos? Or would you fear it would ruin your reputation?

Q.   Today while on lunch break a friend said to me, very openly and out loud, "did you see all the tattoos on that guy's face? He must have been to prison!" I quietly nodded then thought of something... I was very attracted to another friend who had m...

So girls, would you rather have a chat and a long cuddle etc from a guy you are attracted to, or better that he not approach you at all, if he can't give you more time?

A.   17 May 2013: I doubt the blood bothered him, people bleed during sex sometimes it's not a big deal. He probably thinks you are after a relationship so is avoiding replying in case you get the wrong idea. It was a one off.... (read in full...)

He said he wasn't interested in me so why has he started staring?

Q.   Hi, I send a guy on my class a fb mail. He replied he isnt interested in me. I ignored him totally. One month later I saw this guy looks/stares at me at lectures, sometimes he stares deeply and long at me. Until now we had 15 lectures and he stare...

A.   17 May 2013: I don't think he is interested in you romantically. The staring is a bit rude! But maybe you could manage some kind if friendship out of this. When someone says they aren't interested, they aren't interested! His loss.... (read in full...)

Q.   My ex and I broke up a month ago. We'd been together 3 years. Completely out of the blue he sat me down and said that although he loved me, he couldn't be with me, I wasn't making him happy. I genuinely didn't see it coming - everyone used to say we ...

A.   7 May 2013: Whoever he goes with it will be difficult. You could feel better that she is probably a re-bound girl. Move on, get out with the girls and have some fun yourself. Easier said than done I know but you owe it to yourself to try. :)... (read in full...)

A.   28 April 2013: If you are going to be near her in a few months you need to really think about what you want. I would be tempted to try it out when you are living closer and see what you want then. It could also be hard to have her as an ex if you are near each ... (read in full...)

A.   27 April 2013: It probably won't feel amazing for a while, it takes time to get to know someone sexually and to learn to enjoy sex. Don't worry about what you say or do, as long as you trust each other and take things slowly it will be fine. Your boyfriend knows ... (read in full...)
