Name: You can call me Jean. :]

Age: Nineteen but I'm an old soul.

Location: I live in the United States. (East Coast)

Relationship Status: I'm happily taken by my boyfriend of over a year and half now. He's thirty-seven and a lot of people said that we wouldn't make it because of that but we're still going strong. We just moved into an apartment together! :)

Qualifications: The things that help me answer questions most are my life experiences. I'm also studying psychology and philosophy. I have an associate's degree currently. I try to use reasoning based on the situation described and give an opinion from a different perspective.

Rating: People have their own opinions and I've noticed that no matter how rational or helpful I'm trying to be, people will give you ratings just because. I tend to ignore the rating system all together because I feel it's ridiculous. If you don't want to listen and consider my answer, and all answers, because of a rating then you really have no business being on this site.

Contact Me: If you've read something of mine you've liked and want advice, I always read my messages. I'll help anyone if they ask so feel free to send a message if you need me!

Q.   Hey guys, I really could use advice; from the guys and the ladies; it would be greatly appreciated! I'm a 19 year old female, currently in my frosh year of university. I was a fairly shy, homely looking child growing up, and didn't get much ...

A.   6 March 2012: Yes, that is shallow BUT guess what?! I like male attention too and I've been in a committed relationship for over two years. I probably get hit on a lot more now that I'm taken then when I'm single. It's most likely because I know someone loves me ... (read in full...)

A.   6 March 2012: I'm going to answer this question as a woman in a happy relationship that is going on two and a half years now. My boyfriend was not like all the other guys I've dated. The first signs were simple; He opened doors for me, he payed for our dates, a... (read in full...)

I fell for a teacher, he kissed me, sent me roses daily, I got sick, he moved on, what do I do now??

Q.   My name is Alex (I'm a girl). I'm a freshman at highschool. When I started school I saw a very cute guy (he must be about 26) who was a teacher at the school (he isn't really my teacher, he doesn't teach at my classroom). We kinda liked each other, ...

A.   6 July 2011: What scares me is the words you use to describe this event. "I felt afraid but could not resist..." You didn't ask him to kiss you, yet he did it anyway. You're not fat and ugly in any way. Obviously he was attracted to you because he kissed y... (read in full...)

A.   6 July 2011: Personally, I had an abortion at age nineteen and it was the best decision I ever made. I felt a huge relief after the procedure. There are a lot of children in orphanages already so I felt bringing another one into the world wasn't fair. Despite ... (read in full...)

A.   6 July 2011: Of course you should get tested and let him know. I think it's a fair request. If you love him, you'll do it. You don't want to give him anything, if you even have anything. If you think you do, then just be honest or wait for the test results.... (read in full...)

A.   29 April 2011: Have you discussed this with her? I think you should. There could be a number of things causing this to happen. Since she's really close to her family, she could be afraid of hurting them by "not needing" them or perhaps she's not ready to "leave ... (read in full...)

A.   29 April 2011: Well, I'd say go for it. Explain to him that these are just "testing the waters" type of dates to see if you guys click. There's a difference between dating and being in a relationship. Unless one of you says that you want to be exclusive, you're ... (read in full...)

A.   30 November 2010: I'm on the fence with this question but I'll try to give you the point of view from a woman who actually thought about this. I once asked my boyfriend in the beginning of our relationship for a threesome. At first, he was a little upset at the i... (read in full...)

A.   16 November 2010: Honey, there is nothing wrong with you besides the man in your life. He sounds insecure and like he needs to make you feel the same way about yourself. If this is a "better" relationship, I think you may need to look again. He sounds very ... (read in full...)

Q.   Dear Cupid my boyfriend at doesn't talk to me at school does he still love me...

A.   30 October 2010: That's not very much to go on but I'm going to say probably not. If someone likes you, they'll make an effort to be around you. Teenage boys are often embarrassed about their feelings though. If he talks to you outside of school and in private,... (read in full...)

A.   21 October 2010: Why does being fifty-eight matter so much? You're still able to get out of the house, right? Then why not start over? I believe it's never too late. I know it may be harder to be on your own because you've lived with someone for so long but he's... (read in full...)
