A female Nigeria age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Hi,

i met this great guy about four months ago when he called me on phone, and since then we've been talking and sharing pictures, we stay in the same area. We've met two times physically, and the second time we kissed.

He got me very nice gifts for christmas and my birthday.

He loves me and i love him too, but we are not dating coz i'm scared of being in a relationship, we are still good friends, sometimes i wonder if he's my boyfriend coz he acts like he is and gets jealous when i talk about other boys. He's also getting proud.

i just want to know what this kind of friendship is called, coz i don't think we are just friends and i also need advice on how to go about it...

chigirl agony auntHow old is he? He sounds like he is too old for you, and if he is too old for you then he is only interested in taking advantage of you. If he's not a teenager himself then you should be VERY careful of letting him be physical with you, and be careful with being alone with him.

What he is doing is called courting, or even "grooming" if he's an older man. It means he is pursuing a relationship of sorts with you. Exactly what kind of relationship is yet to be seen. You are not in a relationship yet however, and he is not your boyfriend.

Do not have sex with this man, you hardly know him. You met him over the phone, that is suspicious enough. Do your parents know about this man? And what sort of pictures have you sent? I think this all sounds very suspicious and that this man is up to no good, and will exploit you.

ashley187 agony auntWhat do you mean you have met two times physically?! At your age it shouldn't be physical; ESPECIALLY if you don't even know what kind of relationship you are in if you're even in one. You have to be friends with someone first and earn their respect. You cant get respect by giving yourself up like that. The younger generation seem to think that love is just about sexual activities; but there is so much more to a relationship than that. If you have time to get physical, make sure you make time to ask him what's even going on with the two of you.

Dataluke agony auntYou say you're scared of being in a relationship, but I don't think this situation you're in right now sure sounds like a relationship.

Its totally up to you what you want to call it but from the sounds of things you have nothing to fear from dating.

All the best, Dataluke
