A female Singapore age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hello, I'm 18, and 'm confused.

Recently, I had a crush on this junior(J) . However, we are not that close and I don't know how to approach him about it. It doesn't help that my ex boyfriend (X), who's 3 years my senior wants to get back together with me, and has been teasing me or making suggestive jokes about me openly in front of J! X even told me that he is jealous of J because he suspects that J likes me too. We broke up because I felt that the relationship had turned too physical, and I didn't want to have sex before marriage (family values). Besides, my parents does not approve of out relationship.

J knows that X is my ex. J and I do share pretty good (non-intimate) moments together, like just talking and lunching, and our mutual friends have told me about him showing concern esp when i'm not around, or when X isn't around. However, I'm always the one initiating conversations, meetings but I'm now quite discouraged. Idk what to do about it, and seeing that usually guys go for girls younger than themselves, maybe it's because of my age.

everytime i think of this problem, i get frustrated, and i even turned to watching porn to get it off my chest. I know it's wrong i don't even know why i do so.

help :(

aunt honesty agony auntWhy don't you pluck up the courage and tell J exactly how you feel. If he rejects you well at least you know where you stand and you can move forward with your life. As for X well he needs to be told firmly that you are not interested any more. Have a word with him and tell him that his behaviour is unacceptable and that it is making you feel uncomfortable.
