*unandstars's profile:

I started answering questions on this site because I like to help others with their problems. I am 16, therefore I only answer teenage questions, as I feel adults would feel quite embarrassed if they were being advised by a 'child'. When answering, I go for the brutally honest approach, this may sometimes be harsh, but I am a strong believer in honesty, and I know I wouldn't want to be lied to or tricked if I was asking for advice. I tend to also ask questions in my answers, simply to get the writer to think and perhaps come up with their own solutions rather than relying on the thoughts of others which could hinder rather than help their situation, I always think the writing is not the full extent of the story and provoking thoughts is the best method of advice.

Breakup after two and a half years - how do I cope?

Q.   Me and my boyfriend of two and a half years have just broken up. Our relationship had gotten to the point where we were fighting every second day, and neither of us were truly happy anymore. I love him more than anything- we were best friends as ...

A.   23 December 2012: Sorry to hear about what you're going through. I have been through the same thing myself and the only advice I can give you is to, for now, separate yourself from him. I know this is hard because you want to be close with him, but spending time with ... (read in full...)

A.   4 July 2012: It seems like this guy is simply using you as a sex object. He is clearly missing his ex and maybe just wants some physical 'action'. I suggest that you leave him alone as you don't want to be ending up in a rebound relationship with him not loving ... (read in full...)

Q.   right now I don't know if I'm doing the right thing. I like this girl, I have a huge crush on her, we talked on tumblr (a social networking site) and I told her how I feel about her but she just politely told me that she only wanted to be friends as ...

A.   12 April 2012: There is a quote in Coldplay's song 'Fix You'; 'If you never try you'll never know.' It's completely true, if you feel something different about this girl just go for it, distance doesn't really matter if love is there (obviously it isn't now but it ... (read in full...)

A.   11 April 2012: I don't want to sound patronising, but you're not in love. Unlike some of the people that have answered, I'm not an adult, I'm 16 and I was in your situation just three years ago. I had many 'boyfriends' who I thought I 'loved' but just trust me, ... (read in full...)

A.   15 March 2012: You're just going to have to be brutal, tell him you'll break up with him if he doesn't start to care for you. I know it may be hard for you, but think about it, do you really want a man that treats you badly? If he loves you he will change his ... (read in full...)

Does she like me? So many signs that maybe she does

Q.   Hi there! I've been trying to work up the courage to ask this girl I work with for a while now. Just recently I asked her friend that she works with if she knew if she liked me or not. And just for the sake of anonymity, I'll call the girl E and her ...

A.   15 March 2012: She seems like she likes you to me, particularly with the note, how cute! I think you should just ask her, it saves you wondering about it, and you can just laugh it off if it ends badly. I think that's the only way forward, good luck!... (read in full...)

A.   15 March 2012: I completely understand how you feel, being loved is the best feeling in the world. I broke up with my boyfriend a few months ago and I ended up trying to get with this guy that I've now realised didn't have the qualities I want at all, I was just ... (read in full...)

Scared of sex...does it hurt?

Q.   help!! my boyfriend wanted me to have sex with him but i am scared to!!! does it hurt??...

A.   15 March 2012: It sounds like you're not too keen on having sex yourself. If this is not a road you're ready to go down yet then DON'T. Giving up your virginity is not something to take lightly. If you know you do love him and you want to have sex, then tell him ... (read in full...)

I told him I think he is cute, will he be happy about this? Or have I creeped him out like my friends said?

Q.   So, I'm in highschool and have just started to grow a rather flirtatious streak(I never used to be really flirty but now I am) I met this one dude who I always thought was really cute but I never got the chance to talk to him before. But I w...

A.   15 March 2012: I don't think it's creepy that you told him. I always tell guys (even ones who I don't fancy) if I think they've done something cute. Providing they're not some really tough, muscley, 'hard' guy I think he will have took it as a great compliment. ... (read in full...)

Q.   Ok so my boyfriend and I text each other like all day everyday, and its been going on for months. Suddenly one day in mid conversation he stopped texting me and even though i kept texting him he wouldnt reply, and then at like 9pm he sent me this ...

A.   15 March 2012: Texting isn't always the best way to maintain a relationship, it's much better to talk in person. Also, spending too much time together or texting all the time can ruin a relationship, maybe cut down on the texting and focus on the proper ... (read in full...)

How do you know if someone is right for you?

Q.   How do you know when you're with someone for the long-term, and whether it can last? I'm just wondering if I'm overthinking my relationship with my boyfriend of a year. Basically, he has excellent qualities, he's a good person, I love him. Bu...

A.   15 March 2012: I don't think any man can be completely perfect and satisfy all your wants in a male. If he had one small thing wrong with him, for example his hair wasn't your preferred colour, then naturally it wouldn't be an issue. Ultimately, it's down to how ... (read in full...)

A.   20 December 2011: I am slightly smaller than you and I am about 8 and a half stone, I'm not really skinny and I have curves but I wouldn't say I'm large. So yes I'd say you probably are a little underweight, but not ridiculously, I don't think it sounds like a huge ... (read in full...)

Q.   So, for the past few weeks there's this guy that I've become real close with. We have one class together and in a short one we just have become he best of friends. Sometimes I think it's more friendship an I don't want to get myself thinking like ...

A.   19 December 2011: He does sound like he likes you, but like others have said, he may just be feeling lonely, and even HE may not be aware of it. Just give it time (a good few months at least) and if you stay close by all means give it a go, just don't fall into the ... (read in full...)

A.   19 December 2011: To you it may not seem like they are compatible, but I'm sure you don't know them both impossibly well, so you can't really make a judgement on their relationship. If the girl is a person you are friendly with, you shouldn't try and break up her ... (read in full...)

A.   19 June 2011: Maybe Bob is a just this kind of person. Are you his first girlfriend? Maybe he's shy because he's unsure of how to handle you, my boyfriend was the same, he was so shy he had to ask his friends how to hug because he didn't want to do it wrong, ... (read in full...)
