I'm 18 and I have a 22-year-old boyfriend and well we're sort of a weird couple. My man is not an affectionate person, he doesn’t hold hands, he hardly kisses me and we fight all the time. I have told him I love him but he says he can never love again after his last relationship. I have been trying to open him up you know find out who he really is but it is hard. We barley have a sex life any more cause he says that I make him mad and turn him off but I don't know how. He's a very difficult person but I do love him what should I do? Help!

I’m an Egyptian living in Saudi Arabia and I’m studying I.G.C.S.E. In school since 3 years I’ve loved a guy and he loved me very much too. Then I went to Egypt and when I came back after 2 years I knew that he still loves me and I really do but there was something standing between us who is my brother; he’s refusing that I have a boyfriend or to love someone and then my brother left for his A levels and then I went out with this guy behind everyone’s back and now I have a very big problem which is that my brother is coming back in one week and he will know from his friends and I’m afraid of mom too because she doesn’t let love because she is saying that this is childish love. Anyway now I do not know what to do.
Shall I leave my boyfriend and I know it’s too hard or shall I face the problems that will face me.

There is a boy in my school that I like, so I met him, we spent a day at the beach together he told me stuff and told me he could love me and on the messages he sends me really romantic stuff. After two days I found out from my friend in his class that he is only playing and he also tells me that he doesn’t want a girlfriend now but he told me he loved me and I don’t know who to believe and I don’t know what to do? What should I do?

My friend has confessed his feelings towards me. Actually he's a very nice guy. He always gives me support and encourages me when I’m studying abroad. He calls me, sms’s me and emails me and cares for me although we are far away from each other. I like him too but I’m not sure whether I love him. Can you help me? Should I further our relationship? Should I give him a chance?

How can i deal with him? Shall i stay the same?

Nancy

I've known my best mate for about 5 years now, the trouble is that I’m hopelessly and head over heels in love with her. She has no idea how i feel as i don’t want to ruin our friendship, i can’t even have a proper relationship now because all i think about is her, and lately she seems to have been avoiding me, she’s been going out with different people and not bothering to ring or txt me when I’ve rang her, we barely meet any more as well is that some kind of sign? And what shall i tell her?

the sad girl

Question:

I've fallen deeply in love with my best friend - and he's gay. A week ago we went out, had quite a lot to drink, and ended up kissing passionately and biting and holding each other; then he told me that I've turned him bisexual, and he loves me. The problem is, in the morning, he swore he didn't remember a thing. I don't know if he genuinely doesn't, or he didn't want to say anything in front of anybody else, or he's embarrassed and just wants to forget about it. I'd ask him about it but don’t want to scare him. If I tell him how I feel he might not speak to me again and I couldn't survive without him. I really just don't know what to do. How can you force yourself to fall out of love with someone? Please, I just need advice. Please help!

Two years ago when i was still in college I got acquainted to a very cute and charming girl, we built a strong friendship (me, her and another friend) we promised one another that nothing will break as apart. No day passed without seeing each other. we did every thing together (reading, going out, etc…). Then came a day when she told us that some one has asked for her hand and that he is living abroad, she asked about our opinion and we told her that it is she who should choose.

She accepted the guy and they got engaged and we attended their party. And it was just then that I discovered that i love her but I couldn't tell her. After that her fiancée went back to Germany to arrange for her coming. He was a good guy and he understood our friendship and respected it. He spent six months there. During this period we graduated and she found a job with a British company here in Iraq.

My problem is that i can’t express my feelings to my best friend; I always just keep it inside until i calm down or it just goes away. If something is bothering me, and my best friend asks me what is wrong i tell her that its nothing and it makes her mad because she says she can’t get close to someone if they can’t talk about everything and be open with her. The reason i can’t talk about my feelings is that i feel like it will cause more problems or she wont be friends with me anymore because of the reasons that make me mad or irritated, and i need help with getting over this fear of talking about my feelings because i want to get closer to my friend, i try to tell her how i feel but it never comes out and i end up being rude or mean to her when i don’t mean it to come out that way, and i often get nervous when she confronts me about it and i don’t know what to say back to her. How can i express my feelings?

Woman

Question:

I have a question; I do not know what to do? I still like my ex boyfriend a lot and we havent talked to each other for almost a year. We broke up because a lot of people started telling him that I was going out with some other guy at school and some people told me that he was the one who was going out with some other girl. His family does not like me and I know that he loved me a lot but I do not know if he still loves me and I do not want to call him and ask him, because he might not love me anymore. And I am scare to find out that he might have a girlfriend. What should I do? I sent him some songs but my phone number is private so he does not know that it is I who is sending the songs but at the same time I think he knows it is I because the other day someone sent me a song. I think it was him.

Question:

I don't know what to say, I don't know what to do, and I’m falling apart without letting her know. We are such close friends but the problem is that she has a boyfriend. I love her but also I want her to be happy even if that means not being with me so if you can give me a way to forget my love or a way to make her share my feelings.
