I'm 29 and born and raised in California.

I've gone through quite a few relationships! Some were great and some were down right terrible!

I really enjoy trying to help people get through relationship woes. Sometimes they can be life consuming and everyone can use a little help from time-to-time.

Q.   I'm 15 turning 16 in feb. And is he's 21. Is he to old for me? Oh, and is it a bad idea if I gave him a bj?...

A.   27 July 2009: Guys are all idiots. Just be patient, at your age it isn't about finding the right one. It's mostly just trial and error. But this 21 year old guy is bad news. I don't mean to put you down, but he's up to something if he's 21 and wanting to date ... (read in full...)

I'll be 16 in February, he's 21, is he too old for me? And is a bj a bad idea?

Q.   I'm 15 turning 16 in feb. And is he's 21. Is he to old for me? Oh, and is it a bad idea if I gave him a bj?...

A.   27 July 2009: Yes, he is too old for you. I know some ppl say, "age is just a number." Forget that. He's 21, which legally means that he is a true adult, not 18 and he can buy porn and cigarettes. He'll be into things that you cannot do, for example going ... (read in full...)

Moves in one day, dumps me for his ex the next day??

Q.   I started dating this guy about a month and a half ago and we hit it off right away. I knew he had gotten out of a long-term relationship about a month or two prior, but he reassured me that the relationship was long dead to him. Everything seemed ...

A.   27 July 2009: I can totally understand your confusion. Besides just doing a total 180, he couldn't even say anything to your face! What a wuss! I think that you just have to think that now for future reference, when things start moving too quickly, they're ... (read in full...)

A.   24 July 2009: Lucky for me, I'm not a guy and don't have to worry about being shot down when asking for a number...but, I definitely have sympathy for you. It's hard, and I'm sure it would cause you to be very nervous--it's a shot to your ego if someone didn't ... (read in full...)

Should we give our child the freedom to choose or enforce one of our religions on our child?

Q.   hi, umm so i found out a few weeks ago that me and my husband are going to have a baby, and i'm really excited but the only problem is that he's christian and i'm catholic. were both stressing out because we don't know what to raise our child, ...

A.   23 July 2009: I think a lot of it depends on how religious you and your husband are. And this is probably something you two should have discussed before you even got married...but if you leave it up to a child to decide, that really makes no sense to me. ... (read in full...)

Q.   I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but my doctor has suggested that I should think about getting the Mirena IUD. I just wanted to know if anyone here is using it or has used it and how it works or worked for them....

A.   23 July 2009: My doctor recommended it to me in the past as well. It seems like a good alternative; however, I did have really good health insurance and they wouldn't cover it. So it can be farely expensive since they have to insert it, and then if you decide ... (read in full...)

Did being pregnant ruin our relationship?

Q.   My girlfriend and I are 21 and she is pregnant. When we first found out the news we were both scared and shocked, I would be lying if I said anything different. In the next few days we both talked and were very excited, she always wanted to start ...

A.   22 July 2009: Well I have a question, do you ever think that you make her feel that perhaps you won't be there for her when the baby comes? If you've been lacking any sort of support, she may back off. Just by my own experience and others', when a woman is ... (read in full...)

A.   22 July 2009: Forget it, don't call her. I don't mean to hurt your feelings, but she's probably not interested. Leave her alone and you may or may not hear from her again. The ball is in her court, she knows you've tried to contact her, it's up to her to call ... (read in full...)

A.   22 July 2009: You are absolutely not making a big deal out of nothing! He is being very shady and secretive, and that's not good. He's definitely hiding something from you, and he is probably still seeing his ex. I think you really need to let this guy go. ... (read in full...)

A.   20 July 2009: You definitely did the right thing. He doesn't introduce you and gives details of his life...but you're a very big detail! Hello! He needed a reality check, and you gave it to him. Good job. Like satindesire said, don't apologize. If it's not ... (read in full...)

A.   16 July 2009: He doesn't call or text anymore because you're the one doing it all the time. I know you want answers, but pressing him for answers and calling him like you do is pushing him away. The fact that he put you on hold for 15 min. is rude and he's ... (read in full...)

A.   16 July 2009: Do not chase him, do not ask him out. Giving "hints" and asking when you'll see him again shows that you're thinking about him and can even come off as desperate. Leave him alone as in don't email him or call him. If he wants to see you again, ... (read in full...)

A.   16 July 2009: Ok, so pretty much he's telling you that his job comes before the relationship. Well that REALLY sucks! I think he's definitely putting his own needs ahead of yours and you should really stand up for yourself. He does this because he knows you'll ... (read in full...)

A.   16 July 2009: No matter how you approach it, he's going to feel that you are nagging. So honestly, I swear by it...quit trying to call him or text him. Be the way he is being to you, that's why you're chasing him. He will notice that you're not trying to call ... (read in full...)

A.   15 July 2009: Well it's hard to know what she's doing. It does sound like she's playing games though. However, she could be thinking that if you wanted to go out on a date with her, that you would initiate the asking and set a date with her. Wait a few days, ... (read in full...)

A.   15 July 2009: The reason why your question wasn't answered is because we don't know if he meant it. We are not him. And we ALL basically answered with "who cares" because you shouldn't care if he meant it. If you want nothing to do with him, then what does it ... (read in full...)

A.   14 July 2009: I'm sure he was interested until you basically said, "I have no life and can see you whenever you please...because I have no life." It may have caused him to lose some interest. People like to go out on dates and parties...have some fun and ... (read in full...)

A.   14 July 2009: I think you're using being drunk as your crutch as to why you did it. You said something about wanting to come out of your shell...you were curious. So since you were drunk, you didn't care and thought you wouldn't try it. It impairs your ... (read in full...)

A.   13 July 2009: A simple "thanks" will do. Personally, I think it's highly irritating and immature when guys want to say things like, "Wow, she's hot" about a girl on tv. Do you look like one of his buddies? No, I sure hope not. He can keep those comments for ... (read in full...)

A.   13 July 2009: The question I have is: was she the one that got burned in her past relationships? I just wonder this because sometimes when a woman gives too much of herself and ends up getting crapped on by a man, it can really change her. I used to think th... (read in full...)

A.   13 July 2009: I call bullsh*t! You don't "keep the house clean enough?" Haha that's probably the sorriest excuse I've ever heard. What are you supposed to be, his slave? If he wants a cleaner house, then he can help make it that way, if he wants the house ... (read in full...)
