A.   25 January 2013: Hi, Well it's terrible behaviour from him to just start ignoring you and not call. Especially after dating. Awful. Although I don't necessarily believe in stopping my self from doing things because of other people etc. I would consider just not... (read in full...)

A.   19 October 2012: Hi, I think this is a natural thing to feel horny around so many women at your age. Also, I wouldn't give the job up at the moment. Jobs are hard to find. I think you should accept it is a part of growing up and then just take each day as it come... (read in full...)
