... Send *anniepeg a private message | | *anniepeg's profile:I am 34, married a second time. My son is 9 years old and 2 cats. He keeps me busy. My hobbies are movies, recreational games like xbox games, darts, badminton and dear cupid of course. I used to play the piano but stopped. I have been here for 6 years. Every year I see myself change. Every day is a surprise, an opportunity for growth while some days are just coasting along wondering what the point is. My relationship views are a mix of traditional values and modern, open minded ones. I still believe in long term monogamy as it feels right to me. Other than that I feel there are too many rules in a relationship that I would like to get rid of. Dearcupid is a source of my learning about relationships. I am too young to form a conclusion of what love is. I guess I will grow old with this site.

Q. Today I write, I write about my experiences with sex, and love. How I have experienced so much and have come to many realizations about sex and love. First off to anyone who even reads this I know what you must be thinking. That somewhere out ther...
A. 30 January 2011: You want to be needed as a man, not just a sex toy.

How can I bridge this terrible predicament?
Q. I am a middle-aged man, I have a daughter who was born when I was in my teens. Her mother and I were High school sweet hearts and I loved her very much. My daughters mother was unfaithful to me many times, I tried to make it work but I could no ...
A. 30 January 2011: Tell her the truth. Don't use words like tramp or hoe. Your daughter probably thought you didn't care about her enough, as if your pride of being a man was more important than the welfare of the baby. Her mother is distorting facts in order not to ... (read in full...)
Men are such an enigma. What would you call this relationship?
Q. Its simple. I really adore this guy whom I kept meeting at work. Though not co workers we are in a formal set up. In years we have become warmer. He is aware of my problems n tells me Im around when required. I liked him and we kept in touch. Then ...
A. 29 January 2011: I am not sure what this is. Men like to solve problems, it makes them feel useful. You don't want him to look at you as someone who needs help, but someone to have fun with too. You need help and you need love, but you shouldn't portray yourself as ... (read in full...)
He said we were moving too fast ...
Q. I met someone through friends about 8 months ago. We started with simply text messages and a couple phone calls and I really liked him. We wanted to same things out of a relationship and life. He seemed perfect. We decided to take things slow ...
A. 28 January 2011: He doesn't make any sense. You don't make sense either. Even if readers here tell you to leave him alone, you would still spend time with him. You like a challenge. As much as I hate saying this, he likes the idea of the chase. He knows you would do ... (read in full...)
What advice do you have for a feuding couple?
Q. My girlfriend and I fight a lot. We're both stubborn headed which is probably the main reason why we fight. Today I tried to joke with her and she said she felt like I "insulted" her. What advice does anybody have for the feuding couple? I love ...

A. 26 January 2011: Talking to a girl online is not that big of a sin. I think she overreacted. I would send her flowers. That's the only way to know the answer quickly. If she says yes, then great! if she says no, then you should be happy either way because even if ... (read in full...)
Help! Do I give up on the girl of my dreams or be there for her and hope she gives us a chance later on?
Q. Alright so I've been talking to this beautiful girl I met at my friends bday party for about a month now on the phone. We have awesome convos and sometimes we talk for hours on the phone. She always jokes about us getting married and tells me how ...
A. 26 January 2011: I usually won't think that a girl you talk on the phone is the girl of your dreams. If there is no chance to meet, to gradually get closer physically, then she is just a dream and not reality so in a sense you are right, she is a girl but only in ... (read in full...)

A. 18 January 2011: He's showing signs he's not ready to settle down. He's showing you disrespect by dismissing what worries you. Consider yourself lucky you see his true self before getting married. I would never involve myself with a drunk, and a cheater who denies. ... (read in full...)
Should I trust what he says?
Q. I'm not exactly sure what to do in this situation. Around this time last year I met this guy and we began a little "thing" and we hung out on a weekly basis. One night we ended up having sex and then the day after he completely ditched me and I was ...
A. 18 January 2011: That little thing you had with him wasn't a horrible mistake. You weren't bound to each other and he was under no obligation to tell you everything in his life. It's good that he cares about your feelings and that he said sorry.

A. 17 January 2011: You can't take a movie and then say this is what's happening to a lot of people. Movies are supposed to have a shock effect on the audience. If anything it could be that the media is trying to corrupt young minds. It's not hard to say no. That guy ... (read in full...)

A. 4 January 2011: You should leave her alone. Alcohol, drugs, of course are bad. She's not going to listen to you because it puts you in the position to tell her you are good and she is bad. No one likes to be made shameful of themselves. Everyone follows their ... (read in full...)
