Would it be ok to ask my mum to buy me a vibrator?

Q.   I'm 17 and have the money to buy a vibrator, but I have no way of actually getting one by myself. I don't have any friends old enough to take me some where that will sell them to people under 18, and I don't have a credit/debit card so I can't buy ...

A.   17 September 2018: Just wait a year and buy it online and don't tell her. No matter what way you slice it, it's an intensely private thing. ... (read in full...)

How can I get better at finding the one?

Q.   I wanted to get some advice since my love life is a mess ( or lack of). I have been single for a year and a half and I have tried a lot of things to find the “one” but nothing - I can’t seem to connect with men and the ones I do connect with or ...

A.   17 September 2018: I mean you kind of answered your own question. You clearly have a thing for "bad boys" and they are just that, bad. They have no responsibilities, no stable income, and no inclination to start something serious, which is what you're looking for. ... (read in full...)

Q.   I'm in a really low place right now. I've been dating a girl for the past 4 months ( I'm 30 she's 26) and during the past month she's grown incredibly distant. She only texts me when I text her now, sometimes it takes her days to reply, she never ...

A.   17 September 2018: You were all correct. She was clearly over me. I just didn't want to see it. I didn't contact her for over 10 days and heard nothing from her. I checked my Whatsapp and found out she had either blocked me or changed her number as the profile pic ... (read in full...)

Am I being unreasonable in wanting us to cut back on our weed expenses? I

Q.   So my husband works to keep me at the moment he literally pays for almost everything (including holidays, clothes, materialistic things etc) But bare in mind I don't ask him for that he just does it. I'm unable to work at the moment due to my severe ...

A.   7 September 2018: "All he has in his life" sounds like a huge red flag for serious addiction. You both need to cut out weed from your life. Start with you, don't take it anymore. Hopefully he will follow.... (read in full...)

Newly back on the dating scene, can I booty call a guy or is that creepy?

Q.   Hi Cupid, I have a weird question. So, I am newly back on the dating scene after almost 13 years. I am 31. So, I’ve been going on some dates, and a few weeks ago I had two with a lovely guy. We had a great time, connected well and had great che...

A.   24 June 2018: Totally normal! He'll probably be open to it too. Sex with no strings attached will help you get over your anxiety about coming back into the dating scene and it will help him move on as well. Just remember that too much of this is bad for both of ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi guys, Thanks in advance for taking the time to read my post. Basically, my GF of almost one year has told me that she feels more like my best friend than girlfriend. I really need help in fixing things as I care about her a great deal and ...

A.   24 June 2018: So many ways to make her feel loved and special. But remember that every girl is different and she may not like certain things. But as far as romance goes I'd suggest to text often, call more often, see her at least twice a week, hold her hand, kiss ... (read in full...)

Q.   MOD NOTE: two questions combined into one Hi everyone. I've been married for nearly 6 years. We have a three year old son. Last year my husband and I had some issues where I focussed too much on one my hobbies and spent less time with him. He t...

A.   24 March 2018: That feeling will never go away. I was cheated on too. And I tried to make it work. But that sick gut wrenching feeling you get if you try to get sexual with your partner is there to stay. And if you don't like the way he behaves around y... (read in full...)

A.   31 January 2018: Excuse my language, but he sounds like a real piece of shit. He doesn't deserve you at all. You deserve someone who wants to be with you in every sense of the word. At this stage you shouldn't feel like you have to "earn" his attraction. And thos... (read in full...)

A.   31 January 2018: Thanks for your replies! I agree. I do believe she is just using me to have fun at my expense whenever she doesn't have anything better to do. Before I even posted this I asked if she'd like to go out to that nightclub she mentioned and she said ... (read in full...)

A.   30 January 2018: Different things turn different men on or off. The most important thing is that you need to feel confident in your own body. If you would feel better working it off then starting to date again, go for it! ... (read in full...)

Q.   My sister had faced reality and spiraled into depression. I urged her to seek therapy (not just because of this last episode), but in the meantime she needs support. How can I help her more? Some time ago she had a month long fling with a guy...

A.   30 January 2018: I'm so sorry. What that guy did was morally reprehensible and I hope he gets what's coming to him. Regarding your sister, she is going to need time to cope with this. Sometimes people really do fall in love with the idea of love. Her being ... (read in full...)

A.   29 January 2018: Thanks for your advice! You were all correct. If I'm not head over heels for her, there is no reason I should ask her to be my girlfriend. I sent her texts for awhile and when she didn't respond that favorably to a text indicating we co... (read in full...)

He seemed so into me, said he had no wrong intentions... Then why did he ghost me after that evening of no sex?

Q.   I commute to work and every Friday, as I'm waiting at my bus stop, a young man would come and wait for the bus as well. We would exchange polite nods of the head, smiles, "good mornings" and then both of us would retreat back to our cell phones, ...

A.   29 January 2018: You dodged a bullet. This whole thing is really weird. He stalks you and then shows up to pick you up. Then he has zero money to afford anything. Has to borrow wheels to move around, has nothing at his apartment, and wants to only see you the... (read in full...)

A.   27 December 2017: Good luck man! Don't worry at all about this one. My one recommendation is to make sure to initiate some sort of physical contact. Even if it's as subtle as holding her hand for a bit or touching her shoulder. A kiss would be ideal. Just to let her ... (read in full...)
