I turned him away and now I miss the opportunity I had with him

Q.   I feel like crying... There's this guy I was dating for a while, the first time ever that there was potential with anyone (and I'm 20), but all the while I felt like something was wrong, that I couldn't fall in love with him. He was so sweet, so ...

A.   11 January 2013: There's no way to know for sure if he still has feelings for you. It wouldn't surprise me if he did. I had a girlfriend of 1.5 break up with me and change her mind relatively quickly. But by then it was too late. Although I wanted to be with her... (read in full...)

I turned him away and now I miss the opportunity I had with him

Q.   I feel like crying... There's this guy I was dating for a while, the first time ever that there was potential with anyone (and I'm 20), but all the while I felt like something was wrong, that I couldn't fall in love with him. He was so sweet, so ...

A.   10 January 2013: You probably feel like crap because he rejected you. Rejection sucks, there's no doubt about it. If it makes you feel better remember that you didn't exactly fall madly in love with the guy, so you're not heartbroken. ... (read in full...)

I went on a date with a friend. We didn't click and I told him this. But I miss him!

Q.   First, I've posted a couple questions on here already about dating friends... And thanks so much for the advice! It really did help. So: I went on a date with one of my best friends a few weeks ago... It was awkward and we didn't really "cl...

A.   10 January 2013: If you can't tell him then there's nothing we can tell you,. All you have to say is that you two make great friends and you miss hanging out with him. He's probably just embarrassed and needs a little talk. If he asks you can always say t... (read in full...)

I am in love with this girl but she hates me now.

Q.   I am in love with this girl but she hates me now. You see, I took advantage of the feelings she had for me and made her do something she never wanted to do. I didn't mean to. She means the world to me and I love her and she loved me too. Now she ...

A.   10 January 2013: Completely shutting you off and not acknowledging your existence means you are through. Besides, what you're feeling is the pain of rejection, it's not your heartbreak. At least you recognized you screwed up, now recognize you can't fix it and m... (read in full...)

I'm married and received anal sex from a tranny. Am I gay?

Q.   I am what I consider to be a straight man. 36 yo. I was molested by a man when I was 6. it went on for about a year. When I was 30 I let a tranny give me a bj outside of a bar. She wanted to take me home and perform anal sex on me. I didn't but it ...

A.   10 January 2013: There isn't a hard line that says "If you do this you're gay, if you do this you're bi, and if you do this you're straight." You obviously aren't 100% straight. But you aren't 100% gay either. Where you fall is somewhere in between. Th... (read in full...)

Girls: is this a way to spark a girl's interest? what would be the possible reaction, if guitar solo performances (my own), were included in the flashdrive with legal software being given as a gift by to a fellow student?

Q.   Hello. I am here for a question that might open a lot of doors for me. Here is my story. I have been lonely for 2 years now after my ex girlfriend left me for someone else and several rejections since then have made me numb. I came to USA 2 ye...

A.   10 January 2013: Better yet, bring your guitar to school and sing her a love song in front of the whole class. Aside from that you could just ask her for a casual lunch/coffee and if she rejects you don't take it personally. In my 20's,the guy I knew who h... (read in full...)

A.   9 January 2013: That poor blankey! Anyways, you need to make sure he's aware of your needs. In any newly sexual relationship you have to discover what works for the two of you. When my wife and I first started having sex none of my usual tricks were givi... (read in full...)

A.   9 January 2013: I don't agree about letting her do whatever she wants. If you can explain to her how important this is to you and how much you want her to keep the baby then she may change her mind. No, you can't force her, nor should you. But if your atti... (read in full...)

Stepping over the friendship zone into dating. Is it worth the risk?

Q.   A very good friend of mine has recently told me he likes me as more than a friend and I think I have feelings for him too but am unsure. We've been very close for a few years, see eachother a couple of times a week, but have never ever overstepped ...

A.   9 January 2013: There's always the risk that things wont work out. If you too are mature and "good breaker uppers" than it should be possible to be friends after a period to get over each other. I think you should go for it. I've never been in the exact sa... (read in full...)

We're half way across the world, spend a day together. Am I crazy for thinking of trying to pursue this?

A.   9 January 2013: I met my wife when I was staying in Guatemala for 5 months, but for us it was a lot easier to have a relationship because I was there for awhile so we got to know each other pretty well, she also had a visa to live in the US because she was going to ... (read in full...)

Could I be bi-sexual? Can open-minded be considered a sexuality?

Q.   I've questioned what my sexuality or how to define my sexuality ever since I was a child. It's probably been about 13 to 15 years long I have questioned this. Can open-minded be considered a sexuality? I grew up keeping to myself, and really tryin...

A.   9 January 2013: While people may say there's gay, bisexual, transgender, and straight, there really is a lot more variation than those terms would imply. I wouldn't worry about what you should call yourself, but you're probably bi if you need a label. Even... (read in full...)

I'm a mess. What can I do? I've been in love with my Gf for a long time. But I've fallen for a second girl at college and now this second girl is pregnant.

Q.   Guys, I'm in a pickle. A very large pickle. I've been dating my very lovely and intelligent girlfriend for six years, since we were 14. Before I continue, I need you all to know that I really, absolutely and unabashedly love my girlfriend with all...

A.   9 January 2013: Man, I can't imagine being in your situation! I don't think you deserve it, long distance relationships are hard and you got with your GF so long ago, so I can't blame you. It's even possible your girlfriend has been tempted herself. You h... (read in full...)

A.   9 January 2013: Some guys like the chase. He "won", but maybe now the reality isn't very appealing. It sounds like you already lost your marriage so I'm not sure what exactly has you worried there. If you separate and the boyfriend doesn't pay more attentio... (read in full...)

My Bf talks nicely to me only when he needs money from me. What should I do?

Q.   Dear Cupid I feel that my bf of 3 years talks nicely to me only when he needs money from me, other times he never calls, ignores me and bullies me. I have already given him a lot of money for this student loan. I don't have any proof for this ...

A.   9 January 2013: Sorry, but isn't it obvious that you need to break up with him? He won't pay you back so asking is a waste of time. You have two options: 1.) Break up with him and free yourself. 2.) Stay "together" and pay him to treat you like shit. B... (read in full...)

Is my friend a jerk for making this disrespectful comment about his African American lover?

Q.   This older guy who I am friends with, told me that if he ever got married in the future, he would never tell his wife that he had a sexual relationship with an African American woman because, she would look down on him and so would the entire ...

A.   8 January 2013: Well he's not exactly a great guy but sometimes it's not as simple as him being a racist or not. Ukrainian people are frequently pretty close minded and shallow. His background means that he has these things a part of who he is. But, he is an... (read in full...)

A.   8 January 2013: You should be able to resist a little temptation if you love your boyfriend. Also, you're forgetting that new relationships feel perfect. It does now just like it did for you and your boyfriend when you first got together. As you know that fe... (read in full...)

How much porn use is too much?

Q.   How much porn use is too much? I am a 19 year old virgin and am single. I have only one ex where I did not use any porn for most of the relationship until the end when we broke up over distance issues (college). It's been about 5 months since our...

A.   8 January 2013: Feeling like a loser is common for guys before they are with a girl for the first time. You're not old to be a virgin, you just have to be willing to leave your comfort zone and ask a girl out. Don't let rejection hurt you, because if you aren't ... (read in full...)

She wants the relationship to progress slowly, but I'm not sure how much slower I can go.

Q.   I am very much in love with my girlfriend and being with her has been one of the best years in my life. Like all new relationships, when we first met it was all about being with each other - any minute we could steal together we would make sure we ...

A.   8 January 2013: Well you guys are going slow enough so it has more to do with her fear of marriage than anything else. You may need to have an open and honest rap session with her and explain your feelings and plans and ask her to be completely honest about he... (read in full...)

How do I stop feeling self conscious about my chest size?

A.   8 January 2013: Let me tell you, breast size isn't as big a deal as women feel it is. There are some men who wouldn't date you because your breasts are too small, just like you may not date a guy because he has a beard or whatever. That doesn't mean there is ... (read in full...)

Why does my gf act like an impossible and hysterical child during arguments?

Q.   I can't seem to understand my girlfriends actions sometimes. We are from different countries, though I work and live in her country. We have been together for eight months, though she sort of left her previous boyfriend for me, who had cheated ...

A.   8 January 2013: Talking won't help change who she is. You can't tell a serial killer that what they're doing is wrong. She needs counseling, and for your sake I wouldn't even think about marriage until she makes progress, TRUST ME! ... (read in full...)

A.   8 January 2013: I understand where he's coming from. I'm sure he's not sleeping with her so he thinks he's not doing anything wrong. But, you already asked what you should do and we already said the same thing. You're LETTING him do this to you because you're A... (read in full...)

She suggested we take things slowly after the first date. What do I do now?

Q.   Hi all... I just took a girl on a date recently. We had exchanged numbers and we had previously gotten to know more about each other before via text message, so we had common ground and things to talk about. I don’t claim to be the best looking...

A.   8 January 2013: I disagree, I don't think you've said enough to indicate she's crazy. What I'd do if I was you is that remember people have all sorts of issues and things going on that we can't all relate to. In other words don't worry about what you did, it ... (read in full...)

A.   8 January 2013: It's easy; don't say every single thing that comes to your mind. In other words when you find yourself "blabbering" or even better before you're about to start blabbering, just relax and practice some good old self control. ... (read in full...)

A.   7 January 2013: If you've talked with him about it then it's time for an ultimatum. If he doesn't start treating her like a guy friend (no "I love you", no touching, no late night texting, etc) then you are leaving him. If there is one thing I've learned in my ti... (read in full...)

I slept with my friends boyfriend 2 days before their baby is due. Do I tell her?

A.   7 January 2013: Since you probably just slept with him so you could tell her, so go ahead and do it. For the sake of the baby if you are going to tell her don't do it until a few days after birth. Stress can be difficult on babies in the mother and out. It's ... (read in full...)

Q.   Recently discovered my long time girlfriend has been heavily chatting with a distant (2 hrs away) coworker. She's been very secretive about the whole connection but somehow her texts got onto my iPad. In one exchange this guy (who is married) asked ...

A.   7 January 2013: Some people will automatically deny whatever they're accused of, even if they are caught red handed, or if they didn't do anything wrong at all. So that alone doesn't mean she's guilty. However it says a lot about her as a spouse that not only did ... (read in full...)

A.   7 January 2013: It's refreshing to see you list "being dramatic" as a possibility! You nailed it. A fling or two is a normal way to get over an ex. Don't go nuts but just enjoy yourself and don't try to seek the approval of others right now, just yourself. ... (read in full...)

A.   7 January 2013: I would suggest punching him in the neck, that should keep him off. If that doesn't work you could always talk with him. Most guys are more than willing to go at a pace that makes the girl they are with comfortable. If you were enjoying it there... (read in full...)

A.   7 January 2013: You should get out of there, find a roommate for her or something. If you two were meant to be, a little bit of time wont change that. But staying in the same place wont help either. If leaving isn't an option, be nice to her but don't be a wimp... (read in full...)
