A.   14 October 2008: You can't have your cake and eat it, I'm afraid (although I never did understand that - surely that's the point of cake?!) You shouldn't stary engaged to someone when you love someone else. It's not fair on any of you. You need to break off your... (read in full...)

A.   14 October 2008: I think you should certainly try other relationships whilst he's not there. He seems to have made it obliquely clear that he will be doing so. I think if he really was into you, he wouldn't be telling you things like 'You're not something he can ... (read in full...)

Q.   Ok so here goes. I've been in a relationship for the past 8 years with a wonderful woman. She is sweet, kind, funny, smart, all the things you could possibly want in a mate, but for some reason the spark is all but gone. I'm just not physically ...

A.   14 October 2008: You do need to talk things through with her. She might be feeling the same but she also could be feeling that everything is wonderful. I think it might help you to try and pinpoint exactly what you feel is wrong in the relationship. And forget ... (read in full...)

I'm confused about my sexuality - do these feelings make me gay, bi or what?

Q.   Ok, I'm a 15 years old girl who's a little scared and confused about her sexuality! I'm attracted to guys by their appearance and personality. But, I'm attracted to girls sexually, appearance, and personality! Does this make me gay/bi or what?!...

A.   14 October 2008: Hmmm. I prefer to think of sexuality as a continuum - people don't necessarily have to cut themselves off from either sex. And at 15, you're pretty young to start labelling yourself as one thing or the other. Just see where it takes you, enjoy ... (read in full...)

Why does my boyfriend act differently with his friends and brothers around?

Q.   My friend (we'll call her... Lily) noticed something about my boyfriend (we'll call him... Greg) that I noticed too. See, whenever we hang out (just Greg, Lily, and I) he acts differently than when Greg, Lily, Me, and a bunch of Greg's guy friends ...

A.   12 October 2008: Guys like to mark out their territory. Some do, anyway. Sad, but true - if it's making you uncomfortable, however, he really should be taking your feelings into consideration and not pawing you. Also, take into account how your friends feel - ... (read in full...)

A.   12 October 2008: You could meet him again and just keep it casual, but I think you should ask yourself why you want to commit to or have a relationship with a man who is essentially unavailable - he's not just married, he's in another time zone!... (read in full...)
