I have really fallen for my friend but am scared to tell her in case it ruins our friendship. Any advice?
Q. i have fallen for a friend that i have known for ages. we grew up together and recently my feelings for her have grown to the point where i can't stop thinking about her. we are really close, even our families think we are seeing each other. i want ...
A. 15 February 2007: I think you're too old now to ruin a friendship just if the object of your affection doesn't feel the same way. Yes it will be embarassing for a few seconds if she rejects you but then it will be over and things will go back to normal. My guess is ... (read in full...)

Q. I am a nice person don't get me wrong. I have a big heart and when i go to the store, i buy other people things when i don't have to and i do things to make them happy but when i was like 13-16 or 17, i tryed getting into peoples emails or screen ...
A. 15 February 2007: I guess you need to stop this immediately. It's not that it's wrong, although it's not the most healthy behaviour, but more that it's not fair to invade peoples privacy in this way. I have an online diary and recently I found out that a good friend ... (read in full...)
Is there hope for our relationship? I'm totally stressed out and don't know what to do for the best.
Q. Hi everyone. I need some help because I'm so confused, heartbroken and I feel as though I'm falling apart. Last week my boyfriend of 3 1/2 yrs told me he needs "space, can't be in a relationship, doesn't want a commitment" I took this as a really ...
A. 15 February 2007: You could try telling him that you don't want sex with him until you're back in a relationship since it's making you love him again and you're trying to supress those feelings. To be honest it does sound a little like he can't be bothered to do the ... (read in full...)
Why do I stress out all the time when I see him looking at other girls?
Q. My boyfriend ("Dee") and I have been together for over a year. We recently decided to take a break. We told each other we'd remain faithful, we just need to fix our problems. I have this thing where I always ask Dee if he checks out other girls and ...
A. 15 February 2007: It's not in your head. All guys look at other ladies, just like all ladies look at other guys. It's natural. It doesn't mean anything. It just means we're appreciating that someone is attractive. This doesn't mean you love your partner any less. ... (read in full...)
Why is my dad being like this? What have I done wrong?
Q. My problem is to do with my father. In Sept 2005 he started being horrible towards me, i am married with 2 kids. My father had to come over when it suited him (Wednesday's at 4pm) he was never late. One Wednesday afternoon i phoned him at work to ...
A. 15 February 2007: It does sound like vry strange behaviour, especially since you can pinpoint the moment it all went wrong and it doesn't seem like a good enough reason for your father's behaviour. You asked for people who have been in a similar situation to respond. ... (read in full...)

A. 15 February 2007: What about a room in a shared house? Communal living has its ups and downs but it would be preferable to the situation you're in and in most towns and cities you can find rooms for £60 a week which is completely doable on a student loan and a part ... (read in full...)
I really like this guy at work. Should I go for it?
Q. I am working very closely with a male collegue and what started out to be a bit of fun seems to have gone further than that. There is a 11 year age gap and i am finding myself thinking about him all the time, i am the older one i keep telling mys...
A. 15 February 2007: I guess my main comment about your post is that we're always at our most truthful when we're drunk. Because of the age gap I think you have to wait for him to make the first move if he has changed his mind since the Christmas party. I know this will ... (read in full...)

A. 15 February 2007: Unfortunately some people are capable of thinking only of themselves and it sounds like you've been unlucky enough to meet one of them. You're better off without her which is something I think you know but haven't accepted yet but you'll get there. ... (read in full...)

A. 15 February 2007: Unfortunately you can't change someone's mind when they say they don't want to be with you. All you can do is stay close to him and continue to be his friend in the hope that he might one day change his mind.

A. 15 February 2007: I feel like this woman has become a role model to you as well as a teacher, someone you admire and want to be like. Just because she's not there anymore doesn't mean you can't still try to be like her. Crushes at your age are so normal and they will ... (read in full...)

A. 15 February 2007: I think watching porn can be addictive and in your case potentially difficult because you'll start to get an idealised idea of women. Unfortunately very few of us look like and do what these women do. As for masturbating I bet there's not one other ... (read in full...)

A. 15 February 2007: Okay, let's work on the holding hands part first since I'm guessing from your post that you're quite young. Therefore there's no need to rush. Holding hands is easy but needs to be approached carefully. If her hand is in touching distance lightly ... (read in full...)

A. 15 February 2007: You can't really. Rule number one is that you should never do anything sexual that makes you feel uncomfortable. Ever. By changing the subject she's showing that she doesn't want to do these things.

A. 14 February 2007: He's doing it because he's run out of alternative options. I'm sorry if that sounds harsh. Have you noticed that if he can be with someone else he is? He just wants to be with you because it's better than being alone. You deserve SO MUCH BETTER than ... (read in full...)

A. 14 February 2007: If you don't talk anymore it might be a case of missing him as a friend rather than wanting to date him so concentrate on re-establishing your friendship first of all and hopefully making the transition to dating if that's still what you want should ... (read in full...)

A. 14 February 2007: The first couple of times you have sex you probably won't enjoy it to be honest with you. Most guys don't know what they're doing and as you know there will be pain the first time. The pain really isn't that bad. It doesn't last for long and it's ... (read in full...)

A. 14 February 2007: Well..... it's best that this news comes from you rather than someone else but inevitably it will have consequences for you. He might get angry and tell his parents in which case you could be done for rape. It doesn't matter if the sex is ... (read in full...)

A. 14 February 2007: This is very sensible on his part. You're both so young that being friends before you date is a really good idea. Next step is for you to suggest a day out somewhere where you can chat and get to know each other better. This isn't a date so don't ... (read in full...)

A. 14 February 2007: You can't. It's totally possible that you could get pregnant even if your boyfriend came only a drop and you felt it come out but you won't be able to tell until your period is late at which point you can take a test. Taking one before won't show up ... (read in full...)

A. 14 February 2007: The important thing here is to act as soon as possible. The longer a relationship carries on for the more in love she will fall. Just gently tell her that you love her so much but that your relationship can't work because you're not in love with ... (read in full...)

A. 14 February 2007: The problem here is two-fold. One is that your friends are being oversensitive and the other is that it wouldn't hurt to say things in your head before you say them out loud so that you can hear how they might be interpreted. I'm not unconvinced ... (read in full...)
