I'm so nervous about dating that I can't show this guy the real me!

Q.   Hi, I am really into this guy, you'll know this if you have read my previous questions. He used to work next door to me and would come to visit me everyday at work and would make it very clear that he liked me. We kissed last week but we're not to...

A.   29 June 2015: it's completely understandable to be nervous, thousands of people go through what you're going through. I would suggest try not to avoid things as much as you can as this will make things more awkward for you. Don't worry I would probably want to... (read in full...)

I have feelings for my biological cousin, but we're both married. Should I back up and run before it's too late?

Q.   I need help! I'm a 23 year old female who's catching feelings for her bio cousin. He is 22. We were raised together until about 6, when he was adopted out. I finally found him all these years later on Facebook. So here it is, a year later and we've ...

A.   29 June 2015: I think what 'Supermommy91' is saying, is that her cousin is married, with children, and she is also a mom. It isn't unheard of for people to get feeling for their cousins, and it is even more understandable to get these feeling when she is arguing ... (read in full...)

It's been two or three years since we broke up, so why am I just now having recurring dreams about my ex?

Q.   It's been 2 or 3 years after my ex dumped me. I don't remember exactly how long. I do sometimes think about him, but we stopped all contact 1 year ago. I haven't dated anyone after we broke up. I don't know why I dreamed about him a lot recently, ...

A.   22 June 2015: perhaps something has happened or you have done something that has made you think of him subconsciously. Try to do what can to keep him off your mind, try concentrating on something else. If it comes to it, go out more, meet some new people. ... (read in full...)

I don't want things to get uncomfortable at work, but could she be indicating that she likes me?

Q.   I have this coworker, She have a BF who lives in New Jersey and we live in Texas and work at a restaurant together. She's sarcastic to me, sometimes laughs at my jokes, we hung out once at my house before work just watched tv for 30mins Tod...

A.   22 June 2015: If I was you, I wouldn't say anything unless you are sure.Saying that you don't want to hook up to her might makes things complicated or awkward. Especially if she stops speaking to you as much or starts to act strange around you. Like I said ... (read in full...)

Depressed and way behind the average 21-year-old. How do I fix my life/stop beating myself up over past mistakes?

Q.   [Mod note: user's own title] I've pretty much wasted my life from 16 to 21 (possibly all my life) largely due to issues from emotionally abusive family. Anyone know how to stop "mentally beating yourself up" over lost time, esp. when said procrast...

A.   22 June 2015: I'M 20 years old myself, 21 in august and I use to think I have wasted my life. I haven't had a real job if i'm honest. But I think about it like this now, I am only 20 and my life is nowhere near over (i hope) but in all seriousness, I ... (read in full...)

A.   22 June 2015: The first thing you need to think about is your family and his family too. If this continues or you do "do stuff" when you next see each other. People will get hurt. The truth always comes out eventually. Lies always get found out. I don't... (read in full...)

Has he got a compulsive addiction? Dating him for 4 years. My bf's unusual obsession is joining free dating sites.

Q.   I have been in a relationship for more than 4 years. This has been held back by my bf's unusual obsession with joining free dating sites. It had been a good few months and I really thought he at last had learned his lesson. Clumsily he ac...

A.   22 June 2015: in my opinion, he doesn't seem like he's worth staying with, for all you know it's not just texting, dating sights and pictures. For all you know he could be sleeping around behind your back. I would strongly suggest that you confront him, if... (read in full...)

Is it generally normal for a Doctor to ask a patient if the patient is married?

Q.   I had a followup with a female doctor/consultant after procedure. Big hospital, see different doctor each time usually, so probably won't see again. This one asked me if I am married, was very friendly and when I left told me how nice it was to know...

A.   22 June 2015: yeah doctors ask this I think to see if there is anyone to care for you genuinely, it's nothing to worry about, it's something they ask everyone... (read in full...)

I'm scared she'll meet someone else or never come back. How can I deal with and come to terms with my Gf's travel plans?

Q.   I have been dating my girlfriend for two and half years now. I love her to pieces and have helped her through some tough times (her dad passing away being one of them). She's 19 and coming to the end of an apprenticeship whereas i'm 22 and run my o...

A.   21 June 2015: if you really are worried, then you need to tell her that you're uncomfortable with the idea of her being gone for so long. I can see why she wants to go, her being 19 and all that but I don't understand why she has to go for so long. What I su... (read in full...)

How else do teens manage stress?

Q.   How else do teens manage stress? Being stressed isn't fun. It can be caused by a number of things from exams to hormones. However sometimes the bed thing to do is just let it go. Lie down on your bed and let the world go. Think about other things- ...

A.   21 June 2015: In my experience the worst thing to do is keep it held in,I fully agree with this. What I think best is to talk to someone if you can, take an hour each day or so do something you love that relaxes you.For example, listening to music,drawing, ... (read in full...)
