So here I am.

I have always been an 'Agony Aunt'. I don't even know why, so I suppose I am really an 'Accidental Agony Aunt'. I do like trying to give people sensible advice and hopefully make some difference to them. Sometimes I actually get this right.

I came across this website by accident and thought 'how wonderful'. I really wanted to be part of this.

I actually believe that I can take responsibility for how I see and feel about the various events in my life. It can get pretty difficult but I have learned that I can change things that make me feel not so good into something that doesn't make me feel quite so bad. This doesn't always work, but I try.

I want to build on my friendship with her, how do I do this despite the problems in the past?

Q.   i really really really like this girl a lot!!! she knew that i liked her and since then she changed her attitude towards me. She didnt talk to me as much, she hesitated to sit next to me in class and lots of other things, i basically didnt get her ...

A.   19 April 2011: Be honest and don't mess her around. It won't put you in a very good position. Forget about the prom and other things from the past and get on with the future. It's important to tell her what you are thinking.... (read in full...)

Q.   my boyfriend and i have been togther for 3 years and i found a comdom in his wallet we don't use comdoms i ask him about it and he said he was going to use it on me i don't beleve him what sould i do...

A.   18 April 2011: It seems strange that he was going to use it on you when you don't use condoms. However, if there was something for him to hide, I am sure he could have hidden the condom in a lot better places than his wallet. Give him a fair go. If something is ... (read in full...)

A.   18 April 2011: Immature or not, she has the right to be different from you. I can't see any relationship here except that between a self-styled ``guru'' and student. For both of your sakes, just leave her alone.... (read in full...)

She seems untouchable but approachable, how can this be?

Q.   The question sums this up. Theres this gorgeous girl i always see about at my college, we don't know each other though. But when i see her and we look at each other, there is a connection there. So we know of each other, im just not sure what sort ...

A.   18 April 2011: Set a goal. Tell yourself that before this week is out you will talk to her, no matter what you say. Try saying ``hi'' whenever you walk past her. If she is a decent girl she won't reject you for just that. Work from there. Then you might find ... (read in full...)

A.   18 April 2011: So you haven't had a girlfriend or sex before... no problem. If you really want to stop masterbating then perhaps you should try to distract yourself by changing your focus, like reading, exercise, etc... Instead, why not change you mind about ho... (read in full...)

A.   18 April 2011: I'll bet he says that to all the girls. He sounds like an opportunist. You were convenient at the time and he gave you a little attention, but now you're no longer convenient for him. I am glad you didn't waist too much time on him. Keep away, he's ... (read in full...)

Q.   I'm too shy to ask a girl on a date, I'm not really scared of her saying no I'm just too shy to ask her but I really want to be with her. No matter how hard I try I can't seem to be able to pluck up the courage to ask her and I don't really want to ...

A.   18 April 2011: It's very sweet that you feel this way about her. If you really like her then simply talk to her and ask her out on a date. Don't make a big fuss about it and don't do this through your friends. All the best.... (read in full...)

Wife is away, does husband want to play?

Q.   Can anyone please tell me why a married man has made it a point to tell me that his wife is out of town on business for a few days? Is this an innocent statement or is there a reason he is saying this to me?...

A.   18 April 2011: Either this guy is terribly naive to not realise how his words could be interpreted by you (not to mention the other women he may have repeated this to) or he has all the finesse of a scolded dog on heat.... (read in full...)

Q.   I am about to break up with my boyfriend.. The reason is because I found out sweet messages between some chick who he met years ago.. I checked the messages and sent time, was the time where we went through the darkest time together as a co...

A.   25 March 2011: Leave. You shouldn't tolerate treatment like that. Your question shows that you don't trust him already and it seems that he is not really the one for you. Break up with him now because you can do much better. ... (read in full...)

My ex boy friend hasn't talked to me in five years.

Q.   My ex boy friend hasn't talked to me in five years. Why not? he's the one who left me. i miss him so much. well he said hi a few times a few years ago, but i think he was made to. but he still looks at me (we attend the same church) i dont get w...

Q.   One day i was bored at home and decided to create a Smeet.I decided to use fake pics because I wanted the attention from guys. I searched on google pretty girls and I found this one girl that looked somewhat like one of my classmates in school. I ...

A.   25 March 2011: The main thing is why didn't you use your own picture in the first place? Bad self-image! That sort of thing might be fine for a quick and harmless flirtation on the web, but now you are in a situation with a guy who likes who YOU are, but what ... (read in full...)

A.   25 March 2011: It sounds like you are on a good thing here, but I will bet he is not telling his girlfriend that he is `not sure about her'. Don't get involved until he has sorted things out with her. If he doesn't or won't then forget about him altogether. His ... (read in full...)

My bf is constantly looking at pics of naked women...is this adversely affecting our relationship?

Q.   I have been seeing this guy for a year and at first things were hot and steamy but lately he has been less and less interested in sex or anything else. We are only having sex 2-3 times a week. He works an average of 70 hours a week and although we ...

A.   25 March 2011: If he is working about 70 hours each week, he probably doesn't have much time to cheat on you and I would imagine that he would be very tired. If you feel you need to lose weight, do it for yourself, not him. Do it sensibly. Don't resort to starvi... (read in full...)

Will my body issues turn my fling off?

Q.   So I'm kinda worried right now. I have this fling ( we were on a no commitment zone) and we were planning to get into the sack after his vacation next month. Although we've seen each other in person, this will be our first sexual experience. The...

A.   11 January 2011: Whether or not you irritate him, he should not be abusing you, and you shouldn't be taking it. Just keep in mind that if you can't change him and if you stay with this guy, you are buying into both sides of his nature. If you are really up to ch... (read in full...)

A.   11 January 2011: Relax. Don't get wound up about this or you might make it worse. It can be a nasty cycle. You don't orgasm, you get worried about no orgasm, so you don't orgasm again, and so on. Concentrate on the sex and relax. Being drunk can affect your abi... (read in full...)

A.   11 January 2011: If you really don't want to be with him anymore, then you must be honest and end this relationship now. If you don't then you will only end up tormenting yourself and your husband. But ask yourself, or remind yourself, why do you love him?... (read in full...)

A.   11 January 2011: Yes, you would be right in confronting your fiance. I think it would be unnecessary to go at him like a demon, but just talk to him calmly about this situation and how concerned you are that your daughter may find out or may have already found out ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hello every body, here is my story,I am 23 years old and my husband is 37 years old,we have been married for 2 years now and his mother was living with us since we got married. he was my 1st love and relationship so I do not really have any experie...

A.   9 January 2011: Actually, your husband doesn't treat you well or help out because he is a lazy pig, not because of your age difference. He is simply taking you for granted, like the furniture in your house. This is a problem because you are not likely to see him ... (read in full...)

How do I cope with jealousy.

Q.   I've been broken up with my ex for close to three months now, but we went through a period of "getting back together" for a month, so it is effectively two. Only in the recent month have we had no contact with each other. We hurt each other prett...

A.   9 January 2011: You shouldn't be worrying about him or her anymore. It's over. Leave them alone. You need to worry about yourself. Seriously. Jealousy is pretty normal, you just don't want it to get out of control. You have to be strong and deal with it yourself... (read in full...)

A.   9 January 2011: Ok, I don't seriously think you are too young to be in love and everyone is capable of blurring the lines (for want of a better word) between lust and love. She may be easy going about sex, but don't forget that you were in on it too. As for love... (read in full...)

In our LDR I feel I take more than I give. How can I satisfy him more?

Q.   I am 17, he is 19. We are in a Long distance relationship, and are sleeping together. Problem is, I tend to take more than I give, meaning I am usually satisfied with the sex, whilst he gets nothing. I can't seem to stimulate him, and I feel selfish ...

A.   9 January 2011: It is good that you are able to see each other regularly even though sadly it is not very often. I don't think you are necessarily taking more than you give, but perhaps because of the limited time frame that the two of you are spending together... (read in full...)

A.   9 January 2011: This is certainly a `crazy love story'. Outside of a witness protection program, I can't understand why anyone wanting a serious and healthy relationship would be sneaking around town to meet. The moment people found out about you and her being ... (read in full...)

A.   9 January 2011: One thing that stands out in what you have written is that YOU need to accept yourself for who you are and care less for what others think. A lot less. Are you some uncaring person? No. Learn to love yourself as if you are wonderful because you ... (read in full...)

Are guys losing respect for girls today than in the past?

Q.   I know the guy I am with does not act like this what so ever, but is it just me, or am I getting the feeling that now a days, men expect girls to bend over and give themselves to them? Are guys really loosing respect for females now a days? ...

A.   9 January 2011: Wow, your question is worthy of a thesis. It may not be so much that guys are losing respect for girls as much as the rules have changed. Has human desire changed? I don't think so. Perhaps the extent to which we can express that desire has.... (read in full...)

A.   9 January 2011: I don't think your idea of what a relationship is messed up or you wouldn't be here asking these questions. You are just in the middle of a distasteful situation that you want to get out of. There is no secret to quickly getting over him, but I th... (read in full...)

A.   7 January 2011: I can't think of a reason why a man would get weirded out if you donate your eggs. You have obviously thought this out rationally. I think it is a good idea to tell a man in your future about this. If you explained this to him like you have in your ... (read in full...)

Q.   Been with my spouse for 5 years now, but he has cheated in the past. However the past year he has been the worst to me and put me through an extreme amount of hurt. He cheated twice this year but not just gone and slept with some one he's left our ...

A.   7 January 2011: This guy is a big zero. To take a wild guess, I'd assume he's cheating on you again. It appears you have a spineless creep for a husband. He isn't prepared to step up and set a decent example for your son and is completely irresponsible towards ... (read in full...)

A.   7 January 2011: It sounds like you two are really in tune with each other. You are very fortunate. As for your friends, well, they may be a little jealous of you. Your age gap isn't too big. Just think when you're 70, he will be 83. That doesn't seem so bad.... (read in full...)
