| | *incerely Yours's profile:I deleted my account once before. This is my second account. I regret deleting it, because I would like to see the things I wrote 6 years ago. I would like to see my progression or regression of wisdom. I've gone through phases of cynicism and optimism. Despite the enormity of my traumatic experiences, I almost think I'm too optimistic to give advice. I guess I have, if nothing else, a varied perspective to add to situations. Take it or leave it I guess.
Please feel free to PM for an elaboration of something I've written. However I am not comfortable being contacted for my sole advice. I am not all-knowing, nor an MD or psychologist and part of this site is getting different opinions. So please, for your own sake, if you have a question, post it publicly to get a better response.

I want him to notice me, but not in a bad way.
Q. So there is this boy at my new school. He's older, but I'm not sure how much older. I think 11th or 12th but it could be 10th or even 9th. Our school is 7th to 12th. I'm in 7th. I see him at lunch and sometimes in the halls. I have a huge crush on ...
A. 14 March 2015: You sound very well rounded and intelligent. I would love to know what your parents did to raise such a young lady. Please tell.
As far as the boy, I think you should start with more chatting. You should be sure that you like him not only from afar... (read in full...)

Q. Me and my wife had a little girl alomst 2 years ago but since then we have only had sex a handful of times i have tried romantic baths etc. Have spoke to her and dont really get a response as to why we dont have sex anymore just wondering what else ...
A. 14 March 2015: Women don't typically like sex until their emotional needs are met. Men tend to need their sexual needs met in order to meet their emotional needs. Be sure you are giving her what she needs and perhaps you receive what you need as well ... (read in full...)
He admitted he cheated and with a woman I thought I could trust. Do I cut my losses? How do I get over his betrayal?
Q. I have been with my husband for 10 years and have 3 kids. New year we had a massive argument and he admitted he cheated twice with the same girl. The girl who I thought to be a friend and who I confided in, although he did not know this. He has...
A. 30 January 2015: I don't think you will get over this; I don't think should have to, I don't think you should. You did nothing wrong, it's not your responsibility to deal with it and torture yourself while your boyfriend loses no sleep.

How do I assure my girlfriend that I'm not cheating?
Q. My girlfriend constantly accuse me of cheating. It started a year ago, when we split for a few months. I dated another girl and she and I hung out often. I genuinely liked her, but never planned on settling down with her. Fast forward, my gir...
A. 30 January 2015: Can you tell us why you wouldn't answer and asked her to leave? That sounds very hurtful. Her only choice after that was the create her own scenario and go crazy.

Does he not appreciate my virginity?

A. 29 January 2015: Male anon, and I do like and appreciate your words and metaphor. Yes I can understand that it would hurt her feelings. My issue comes in with her choice verbiage and the way she looks down on others, calling his exes names and getting angry with ... (read in full...)

A. 28 January 2015: I believe the reason is that he is less judgmental than you. You seem by your writing that you put yourself higher than those who did not make the decision you did. But you did it for yourself, for your health and your feelings, right? Or did you do ... (read in full...)
Is my friend too busy for me?
Q. I have a friend who I have known for approximately 5 years and every time we get together it's always a good time and we have a lot of laughs. We had drifted apart for about a year and it was mainly over her trying to talk to someone I was dating.. ...
A. 28 January 2015: I strictly live by a rule: I will not let myself be surrounded or weighed down by negativity. If there is a person in my life, with whom every interaction is hurtful, I remove them from my circle. She has betrayed your trust in the past and you are ... (read in full...)
His parents don't approve of me, a single mother.
Q. So here is the situation and I will try to keep this as short as possible so thanks for bearing with me. At the age of 22 I started dating this 25 year old man and we became "official" in August of 2014 after 2 months of dating. He says ...
A. 28 January 2015: I don't think it's indicative that he doesn't love you. His parents gave him life and were his caregivers. Their opinions are probably important to him, not in a way that he is willing to abide by them all, but a way in which he could be easily hurt ... (read in full...)
Should I be worried? He brought up an ex of his and mentioned that she's a porn star now.
Q. Me and my boyfriend were talking last night and he brings up a friend of his that is female (and also his ex)that she said that she is a porn star now (which I think might be a fib I don't know and I don't plan on finding out). He tells me that she ...
A. 26 January 2015: I don't think he means he WOULD be with her. I think it's as he said, and he COULD. Many people set a boundary on cheating defined by what could happen. Meaning, a crush on a celebrity is harmless because it could never happen. She is very real and ... (read in full...)
Do I stay with my boyfriend? Go with another guy? Or become single?
Q. I am in a long-term, long-distance relationship for almost 6 years. I am finishing college this june and don't know what path to take next. I am very ambitious and have big career goals. My boyfriend has a well-paid but unstable job that requires ...
A. 26 January 2015: Nobody would be able to tell you to risk your career and move, or not. That is completely your own choice and affects YOUR life only. I think I can safely say that long distance is not your strong suit and is probably not adhesive in your relation... (read in full...)

A. 26 January 2015: Are you sure he was pointing at you?
He might think you are cute , but there is no telling if he likes you. If he has never spoken to you, how could either of you know?

A. 26 January 2015: The examples you have given sound like good manners, and a friendly guy. I wouldn't look too much into if I were you. What did he say in his message? Was he cordial and polite, or flirty and indicative of wanting "more?"

A. 23 January 2015: You're giving her an ultimatum and she's giving you one back. It's a stand still war of words and it's obeying Newton's Law of Motion. Once one of you removes your force, the other will plummet forward at full pent up force. I can't see this ending ... (read in full...)

A. 23 January 2015: Firstly - I love this story.

A. 22 January 2015: Yes, as you say, clearly she felt inadequate, and needed you to be more impressed so that she was your "equal." This is a woman who is clearly very insecure and ashamed. I can't imagine the shame she would feel if you confront her, but that is a ... (read in full...)
