A.   23 February 2008: Okay well when you say something like "I enjoyed tonight, but knowing that Sex wasn't part of it sort of spoiled it" that does come across the wrong way. If you are looking to have a girlfriend, someone in your life, it's a bit hard to give any ... (read in full...)

Q.   Short and to the point...how can you tell if you are in love?...

A.   9 October 2007: If you really have to ask the question... then you are probably not in love. Here's the thing. Love lives in the heart, not the head. To quote singer Don Henley, "what the head makes cloudy, the heart makes very clear". Love is not a question, it's ... (read in full...)
