I'm a self confessed people lover. I find every single one of you interesting and wonderful and any of your problems will always be treated as new, serious and interesting.

I live in the South Coast of England and have done for 5 years now. Born and raised in Scotland, there was something that just didn't sit right with me! Maybe it was the weather! But moving down the country filled me with a certain Joye Du Vivre that I was lacking!

I won't say I have more or less life experience than anyone else. It's not my job to deliver you a sob story! But what I do have, in abundance, is a great deal of empathy and understanding and that is something I think is the most important when it comes to helping people.

So if you have something specific to ask or really just need "one of those chats", send me a message!

A.   21 April 2017: Dear Anon, It sounds to me like you are both lacking in some sexual maturity. Daily sex is something that is completely unrealistic and, to be completely frank with you, painful for a woman. It sounds, to me, as though you are putting all th... (read in full...)

He treats me with disinterest. How can I get the courage to tell him to ''get lost'' ?

Q.   So this is a bit complicated and I will try to keep it short. I used to have a thing for a guy when I was 16. I asked him out when I was 19 but he said no since he was in a relationship(which I was unaware of). Then I decided to move on and ...

A.   21 August 2016: Dear Anon, We are but tiny crystals of sand in a desert; there is no more significance in the meeting of this man or his reappearance in your life other than you inviting him in with messages and emails. That is not to say that you do not share... (read in full...)
