I am a twenty-six year old who lives on the east coast of Australia in a large country town called Brisbane.

It seems like I'm always the one initiating the conversation. Does he like me? What do I do?

Q.   Hello, So I'm gay, and I recently met someone online who is two years older than me. When I went to meet him, he told me that we have actually known each other for a very long time. He told me his full name and I was in shock, and I immediat...

A.   5 October 2010: I think he really likes you but as he said is really busy. I think that you are doing the right thing in neither smothering him, nor ignoring him. Let me end this with a quote, "There are all kinds of fun things ahead... Im sure... Keep up that ... (read in full...)

The answer in the face of question

Q.   I've been in a long term relationship with my boyfriend for a year and a half. Things were awesome at first! But my fears became true, the honeymoon phase ended and now all we seem to do is fight, argue, and not get along. I can't say that the ...

A.   15 April 2009: I am so sorry, if it were in my power now, I would wrap my arms around you. You are a good person who is suffering. I suspect that your spouse is also a good person who is also suffering. I wish I could offer you and your partner advice on how to ... (read in full...)

Did he do something wrong or am I being over-sensitive?

Q.   A few weeks ago I met a guy and we got along very well. I liked him, he liked me. We hung out a fair bit of the last few weeks. This guy had known my house mate for five years. They had always got along very well and liked each other so often t...

A.   19 January 2009: Hi Pastfirst, I must have been very unclear. I have no romantic feelings for my housemate, my feelings are for someone else that I was seeing until my housemate slept with him. Griffo - Don't sweat the personal pronouns mate.... (read in full...)

A.   18 January 2009: Hi Jake I don't seem to have explained the situation very well. They both knew how I felt about this guy. Nor was I playing 'hard to get,' or being aloof. Also, it's not the guy I like that's moving, it's my housemate. ... (read in full...)

I want to give my boyfriend fellatio, but he has a LOT of pubic hair.

Q.   I want to give my boyfriend fellatio, but he has a LOT of pubic hair which is a turn off for me. I want to ask him to trim it, but I don't know how to ask him. He's very insecure and I don't want to make him feel bad. How can I suggest it without ...

A.   16 January 2009: It's just like the first rule of economics, people tend to do what is in their best interests so make it in his best interests to trim down there. "You know, I could go further down on you if there wasn't all this hair in the way..." Watch h... (read in full...)

A.   15 January 2009: Hi Stephen I don't know what the laws are in the US, but you need to have this guy kicked out with no prior notice in such a way that he has no claim over your belongings. If he trashes your stuff (or more likely sells it) it's highly unlikely... (read in full...)

Why do I feel like CRAP after finding out an old friend is in Playboy?

Q.   Hey all, this is probably kind of a stupid situation, but I just found out a girl I went to high school with and was friends with is on the cover of the new Playboy lingerie magazine. Ever since I found this out (it was just yesterday) I have felt ...

A.   15 January 2009:  I can understand only too well what you're feeling. About a year ago I moved in with a guy I had known on and off for about three years (we had mutual friends in common but didn't know each other very well). The truth is, my housemate is a s... (read in full...)

A.   14 January 2009: I'm not sure how you should become less nervous around guys. I'm less nervous now than I used to be, there are only two kinds of guys that make me nervous now: Creeps and guys I'm interested in (and the creeps are FAR more common). As for acceptin... (read in full...)

Q.   i met a man on the internet and originally it was just for slightly kinky sex which neither of us had tried before, this didn't really get started as we soon were contacting each other daily and seeing each other weekly.over the past 2 months, and I ...

A.   14 January 2009: Do you even know what you want from this? It obviously wasn't something that was planned. Relationships are not the clean cut, romanticized fiction you see on TV, they're messy. Chances are, he has just as little an idea of what's going on as you ... (read in full...)

A.   14 January 2009: Sweetheart, my heart melts for you, you poor thing! Being in love with a player can be torture. Personally I think if he's not going to be monogomous with you (and I doubt that he will be) then you should break up, however that's not your ... (read in full...)

A.   12 January 2009: I'd be cautious about this boyfriend of yours, over-reacting like this over such a small thing and accusing you of cheating on him just because you were walking down the street with someone else is indicitative of a larger issue here IMHO. The fact ... (read in full...)

A.   12 January 2009: First of all if you think he's going to tell his ex/your best friend the best thing to do is pre-empt him. It would be a lot nicer hearing it from you rather than hearing him using it maliciously. Also, if you feel your safety is being threaten... (read in full...)

In love but hugely sexually incompatable - what to do!?

Q.   I am a 25 year old gay man in a very loving and committed relationship of four years. Everything is perfect except for the fact that I have the strongest of desires to have sex at least every day while my boyfriend would be happy with once a week...

A.   12 January 2009: I've found myself in a similar predicament some time ago. I was the one with the lower sex drive and if your partner is anything like me it's not because he doesn't find you attractive or is cheating on you. I know you're frustrated and probably ... (read in full...)

A.   12 January 2009: My ex and I were five years apart, it was never an issue for us, we got together when I was 19 and my ex was 24, we broke up when I was 23 and my ex was 28 (we're still good friends). Do you honestly have problems with having friends that are... (read in full...)

A.   12 January 2009: When should you tell her: As soon as possible, the longer you leave it the more akward you will feel not only that but I imagine your girlfriend wouldn't like the idea of you concealing her, nor would your mother like the idea that you feel you have ... (read in full...)
