hiya all! well my name is Tine and im from Belfast, in Northern Ireland... the place isnt exactly the best place in the world, with all the trouble but its where i call home. I'm 23 and unfortunately i don't know it all, however i've had enough experiences to make me the person i am today. I've had my heart broken on several occasions, and i'm sure i've broke hearts myself - no1 is perfect!

The one thing that makes me happy is seeing others around me happy too and i feel that my work is never done unless i know absolutely everyone around me is feeling 100%.. what kind of person would you be to let all those around you fall down?? At the minute i am working full time but also at college studying to be a Social worker, not just for kids though, for the elderly also, i have a lot of time for them.

I absolutely love giving people advice on anything really and i do admitt that i don't know everything, nobody does but as the days go by i learn more and more and as i learn i pass that knowledge on to others and it gives me a buzz to know that i have made someones life better, even if its just by the slightest bit!! Also one quality that i have that my friends love is that im honest and straight talking, if you ask me a question the only way i know how to answer it is honestly. And i find that i am the one my friends and family come to first for advice. so hopefully that should help you lot out there!!

Q.   Alright guys I have a question. I had a date over the weekend out of town. (He lives like 3 hours away.) Anyway, I stayed there because I didn't want to drive home at 3 in the morning. Long story short, he was supposed to be on duty early the next ...

A.   18 September 2006: it sounds as though maybe he was a little pissed off at being rejected however he shouldnt have got on the way that he did. He could have at least said goodbye. Why dont you contact him and ask him why he hasnt been in touch?? if he really is acting ... (read in full...)

Im paranoid about his "female" friends and its ruining our relationship, please help!

Q.   Hi everyone! My bf and I have been together for a yr now but I still feel really paranoid about a few girls he talks to. It all started one night when a girl he'd told me about was texting him on a night out. I wasn't there that night but apparently ...

A.   18 September 2006: if you have not already done so i think that you should sit him down and tell him exactly how you feel on this subject. He was not helping matters when he said that he was cooking instead of telling this girl that he was with you. But then aga... (read in full...)
