For all of those people that have obvious flaws, how did you find your mate?

Q.   Hey guys, I am 22 and I've never had a boyfriend. I have wonderful personality, I'm intelligent, educated, I love new things, having fun, and I am decent in terms of looks; I have a nice body, cute face...the blatant flaw is, unfortunately my...

A.   12 July 2010: Maybe I shouldn't be answering this question because I don't have a mate, but the main thing is to be happy with who you are. You will focus on your flaws more than others will notice. Be happy with who you are and confident that you are a beautiful ... (read in full...)

Men, would this turn you on?

Q.   Here's a question for the male readers. You're at a bar by yourself one night, listening to a band and a woman comes up to you who is not really that great looking; short hair, big hips, kind of flat chested, has alot of tattoos and she walks up to ...

A.   12 July 2010: Umm, I'd pass. A: Don't lick me if I don't know you. B: I'm not a tatoo kind of guy. C: I like aggressive women, but that's a bit much. Flat chested isn't a big deal nor are big hips. Just sounds like a slutty move and unless the guy is crazy drunk ... (read in full...)

My girlfriend is insecure. How do I reassure her?

Q.   I'm in a cool thing with a girl, but she's so insecure about what I'm doing when I'm not around her. She's always asking did I sleep with her friend, or what I was doing at such and such a time. Or those little word traps they do, like, "do you ...

A.   19 February 2010: You just have to reassure her for awhile. If it still keeps up, then you and her may need to have a talk. Insecurity with women can be common if they have some issues with themselves. Usually I feel like the ones that don't trust, are the ones that ... (read in full...)

A.   5 February 2010: Do you really think that you can trust him again if you stay? You have to ask yourself if it's worth it. You may have invested time with this guy and care a lot about him but if he can disrespect your relationship enough to cheat on you, I really ... (read in full...)

Feeling sad about my experiences in high school! Is this a precedent for the rest of my life?

Q.   This is pretty shallow compared to a lot of people's problems, and all the chaos in the world, but it really bugs me after all these years. When I was in high school, I never went to prom. It's not a big deal, but it makes me a little sad becau...

A.   30 January 2010: Does missing prom mean you're destined to be a failure? Umm, no. I never went to prom. I was considered to me one of the "popular" group, and I was asked by a couple of different girls, I just chose not to go. All of my friends, girls and guys, ... (read in full...)

A.   30 January 2010: I'm sorry. Give it some time and focus on you. Don't call or text or email, just do things for you to make you happy. It's time to be selfish. As long as you were true to yourself and said the things you felt like you needed to, you can't have any ... (read in full...)

A.   30 January 2010: He's young and his hormones are out of control. If you don't feel like fooling around, that's ok, and you shouldn't feel forced to do anything you don't want to do, sexually or not. If he can't handle that, that's his problem. You are very young and ... (read in full...)

Am I being too fussy? People tell me at 27 I am leaving it too late to find someone and settle down

Q.   I had a serious relationship that ended 4 years ago (we were together 4 years). I could have married him had we met when I was a bit older, I wasn't ready to settle down then. He was no doubt my first love but we have remained friends and both are ...

A.   30 January 2010: Good for you to staying true to yourself and waiting till you find something that you know is right. People who are getting married when they are in their early 20's don't really have as much of a sense of who they are. There would be a lot less ... (read in full...)

Q.   I was dating a guy for a little while, things were going great then all of a sudden he went really cold - the day after the first time we slept together. I questioned what was up and he said he didn't feel ready for a relationship...His ex of 9 ...

A.   30 January 2010: I'm gonna go a different route, I think he may just be really scared. For some guys, sex changes things. It takes everything to a different level. He may really be having some serious feelings for you but whatever damage the ex did to him, it has ... (read in full...)

She keeps flirting with other guys but says it's harmless, it bothers me

Q.   I've been with my girlfriend for a few months now. Recently she has started to flirt a lot with other guys, and I don't know what to do. She said they were just good friends of her, but don't all girls say that? She even went to the movies with ...

A.   29 January 2010: Oooh, if she went to a movie with another fella, I'd probably be a little leary of her too. Do you know the guy at all? I'd want to know a lot more about that. If you are having real trust issues, you should be able to talk about it with her with... (read in full...)

Q.   I was involved with a man and during that time we've had our ups and downs.. he used to tell me how I wasn't affectionate enough and that I was mean.. here's the thing , I care about him so much that I've been doing some self improvement both ...

A.   29 January 2010: I'm sure he still cares about you. He felt like he was forced to move on so he did, as best he could, to do just that. When someone still owns your heart, you can't full move on. Sounds like he's been trying to move on but I'm sure hearing you tell ... (read in full...)

A.   16 January 2010: Maybe he had a bad experience with a girl that wasn't "fresh" before so now he's a little gun shy. Or else, and this is my guess, he hasn't had much experience and doesn't have the confidence to go down. At one time, I didn't feel like I had a clue ... (read in full...)
