Is he gay and if not, is he dateable?

Q.   I know a good looking, cultured, intelligent, highly educated, employed guy in his 40s. I am very attracted to him. However, he is kind of effeminate. He could be a metro. I found out that he lives with another guy and that they have lived ...

A.   2 June 2011: lol there's really no way of knowing unless you come right out and ask. him having been married twenty years ago definitely doesn't make him straight. in fact, there's probably currently lots of people who are still married and secretly gay. just ... (read in full...)

I had sex with my ex-bf and am now confused as to what he wants.

Q.   Me and my ex boyfriend have been dating for a year and we recently broke up for good and I still love him. We broke up because we were both stressing about things and decided to take a break. The reason we never got back together is because ...

A.   21 May 2011: in all honesty, sounds like this relationship has a lot of issues. why was he under the assumption you messed around with his friend? and why then, would that prompt him to be such a guy, who would hook up with your friend, just to hurt you? no... (read in full...)

A.   21 May 2011: i see where both of you are coming from. it would bother me a little bit if the person i was with flirted with and accepted these people on facebook. but i also see where she's coming from. these people probably mean nothing to her. just another ... (read in full...)

Would I get more attention from boys if I let my grades slip down to C and Ds?

Q.   Do some boys feel intimidated if a girl gets very high marks at school? It seems to me that the girls who get so much more attention from boys do not get as good grades? Or am I wrong here? Should I try to slacken off a bit at school? One of the ...

A.   21 May 2011: you definitely DON'T let your grades drop just to get the attention of some pathetic, intimidated guys who are stuck in the last century and believe that men should be mentally superior. you should never change who you are to appease anyone. ... (read in full...)

He says he doesn't have time for a g/f but I don't know how to move on

Q.   I date this guy for about 7 months. He broke up with me in February because he's very busy with work and wasn't able to fully commit to me because of that. I was still very much in love with him and wanted to get back with him however he wouldn't ...

A.   21 May 2011: you're totally letting this guy push you around and dictate the course of the relationship. take some power back. stop sitting around and waiting on this guy. first, let me point out, this guy wasn't too busy to be with you. that's a cop out. i ... (read in full...)

I think about my ex more when I'm at home than I do when I'm at university. Why is this? It makes no sense!

Q.   I find myself thinking about my ex girlfriend more in some places than others. We're both at university and we broke up earlier in the year because she wanted to focus on her work and I am in my final year and will be moving back home permanently ...

A.   21 May 2011: could it be related to the fact that when you're at home, you have much more down time to let your brain wander and think about her? when you're at school, you're possibly surrounded by friends, bars, lots of things to do. see if this may be the ... (read in full...)

Husband doesn't want to be with me anymore because I support my family

Q.   My husband says that he doesn't want to be with me anymore because I support my family. My family is overseas and I am living in USA since 2007, I have a decent job and YES I help my family sending some money each month. We both work and we don't ...

A.   21 May 2011: was your husband not aware of your financial situation when you two got married? based on what you say here, he sounds extremely selfish. once you get married, you become family. that includes extended family. your family is his family and his ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hello people! Okay.. recently I've noticed a really weird change after previous relationships and my ex lied to me and such.. I'm not sure if I turned lesbian or anything but.. recently I just lost the attraction to men and I got a huge crush on ...

A.   21 May 2011: the best way to handle these types of situations, in my past experiences, is not to flat out come straight out with your feelings. cause it may just freak her out. but rather drop little hints here and there and feel her out. make little flirtatious ... (read in full...)

Could I wait till my exams are over and then ask teacher if she'd want to be in a relationship?

Q.   I'm a 18 year old female, i'm about to leave school for good, just have my exams to complete. I've developed a strong attraction towards my female teacher. She is 30 years old, and i sometimes do think she has feelings for me too. She hasn't acted ...

A.   21 May 2011: i honestly see nothing wrong with waiting until you're done with exams to ask her on a date. you're an adult, she's an adult, and she will no longer be your teacher. it may be weird, though, at first, to break out of the teacher/student role you're ... (read in full...)

I want to get close to him again but I'm terrified of rejection!

Q.   First of all, I would like to state that I am in no way vain or conceited, just genuinely confused on what happened here. I am 27 years old, I have a Master's Degree, I work at a publishing company, and I'm fairly attractive. I met a guy back in ...

A.   19 May 2011: i hate to be blunt, but it really doesn't sound as if he's into you romantically. physically? yes. he finds you attractive. the idea of having sex with you with no strings attached and no emotions sounds great to him. but settling down and having a ... (read in full...)

The good qualities I'm searching for are always found in married men!

Q.   I'm in love with my teacher who's very much married and have 2 kids. Is it wrong to feel this way?? I am still single and never had any relationship in my 30 years of existence. i don't seem to attract single guys and probably that's also the reason ...

A.   19 May 2011: there always seems to be something attractive about someone who is "off limits." i don't know if this is why these men appeal to you, or what exactly your reasoning is for this attraction to married men. that's something that nobody can really answ... (read in full...)

Q.   So I've had a pretty rough past two weeks here. My boyfriend of two years (lived with for a bit over a year) just broke up with me after a big incident. We'd decided we decided to move in too soon, and we figured a break would be ideal. We still ...

A.   19 May 2011: first off, i would suggest figuring out the actual status of your relationship. you say you two would like to work things out, but it seems as though you both haven't come to a conclusion as to where you stand. that would be the first thing i would ... (read in full...)

A.   18 May 2011: classic case of the "homophobic gay guy." in other words, he's masking his true (gay) sexuality by gay-bashing in hopes to compensate for his shame in being attracted to men. he's hoping by bashing gay people, it will make him appear more straight. ... (read in full...)
