A.   7 June 2011: I just wanted to ask because it may clear the air on why he has two girls like this. Is it customary of your culture to have the women be chosen solely by the man where they will essentially compete for his marriage? I think it would help people ... (read in full...)

A.   6 June 2011: I would say that he should go with the one who loves him and who is obviously commited to him. You haven't described any positive reason why he would even consider the other girl. It sounds like he just loves the one who is giving him a harder time ... (read in full...)

A.   6 June 2011: Why don't you say to him that you don't want to date a smoker and see if he quits. Usually you don't want to try to change the person you are are going to date but it would be the best thing for him. I doubt even if you did get together that you ... (read in full...)

Q.   What is the best way to tease my boyfriend before sex?...

Why does it feel like he's bored of me?

Q.   My boyfriend and I text, well, 24/7, and it is him who texts me first. Now, this may seem weird, but he sent me a text saying :'no offense, but I wanna concentrate on this film.' I understand most of you think I am over reacting but the point is...

A.   4 June 2011: I'm not reading into anything that would say that he is bored of you. Personally I think that all the texting and constant contact is bad for the relationship. Him wanting some time to himself doesn't mean that he is bored or doesn't want to be with ... (read in full...)

A.   3 June 2011: I don't recommend jumping to conclusions here. I know there are some simple things that I just don't want to do because I just don't want to do it. Maybe that email gets too much spam such as porn related things that he doesn't want to be a part of ... (read in full...)

A.   2 June 2011: Definitely go see a doctor and other than that take it easy for a week or two. My assumption is that there is a tear in the foreskin that you want to give time to heal otherwise it will continue to bleed. The amount of blood is most likely due to ... (read in full...)

A.   1 June 2011: I recommend seeing a therapist for this. It's good to know that you understand that you shouldn't feel this way. I don't know if there is anything that I can say that will actually help you get through this. Hope you can find help so that you and ... (read in full...)

A.   31 May 2011: This is a real problem and I don't think that he is ready for a relationship. I am one to say that flirting is generally harmless and I am comfortable with it in my relationship but what he is saying is too far. Also he is continuing to do it while ... (read in full...)

A.   30 May 2011: Yeah it does. It sounds like she still wants to be your friend and the comment was probably made because she is frustrated with her life and not your friendship. It does sound like she went through life too quickly but that doesn't mean that she ... (read in full...)

A.   30 May 2011: It sounds like she may not be thinking of you as much as you are of her when you are so far apart. Does she put the effort in to keep in touch or is it all you. It sucks to lose a friend but sometimes people just drift apart and it is what my guess ... (read in full...)

A.   30 May 2011: One of the best things that you can is something I think that you do understand and that is you still have to eat. Plan out healthy meals ahead of time so you don't run into temptation to eat any junk food. If you're looking to lose weight you want... (read in full...)

A.   30 May 2011: I think that you should start off casual asking how she has been and so on. Don't jump right to an apology, just see how she is talking to you first. If things go well here you can bring up that you are sorry and would like to leave it in the past ... (read in full...)

A.   25 May 2011: I would call that a moral debate but not a crime. That man would be seen as having pedophile tendencies but I do think it is such a harsh term to throw at someone who hasn't broken the law. It's something that I wouldn't do and I hope that she knows ... (read in full...)
