I have been dating this guy now for three months. He is separated for three months now from his wife and he has two kids with her. So he pays a lot in child support. I’m confused about staying with him. I don’t have any kids. He’s talking about starting a family one day, but he can’t even afford to take me out. I’m confused. What should I do?

I've always had trust issues with men (cheaters and liars), my whole life. This has made me an incredibly guarded person and now that I've met someone wonderful I don't know how to open up and let him in. Where do I start?

Well I have what I may call a problem. Here is a little but funny story.
I'm an African, but live and study here in Russia. Last week, I went to send money home through Western Union Money Transfer. There was a lady there. She was the person that attended to me. The way she was looking at me from the time I came there till the time I left, has left me confused.

It was last year when I met my first boyfriend through common friends in a group. Everything was so perfect. We can talk about anything. We were both in love with each other. It was a good relationship filled with love and respect. But there was a sudden twist of fate when one day he told me his passion of becoming a missionary priest. My heart crashed! so I told him I have no right to question God. so I let him go because I don't want to be a hindrance to his call.

I met this guy online about 2 years ago. He asked me out 6 months after we met. It’s been a year and a half now since we've been going out. He's 16 like me.
Times have been pretty hard for us. We've had people trying to break us up and tear us apart. We got passed it but with many more thoughts of the future. We haven't even seen what each other look like yet, but we don’t care. We love each other very much. He lives 3 hours away. Now the problem is; our parents. His parents are making him get rid of the Internet and my parents what him to send a picture. We talk on the phone for like an hour. Things are getting so much harder but I know he's my true love. What do I do? Is there a way to make our parents understand that we love each other? Please help.

Manda

I've been with my girlfriend for two years and a half. The only big issue I have with her is that she keeps on talking to her ex she was with for seven years. I don't mind if they talk sometimes but not constantly. If she has a problem with she goes to him to talk about it. I feel like she is comparing both of us. She even got to a point she was having second thought about our relationship because of him. I'm really confused now, what should I do?

Reg

I believe I’m in love with this girl I know. I can't tell if she likes me or not. She’s also a friend of my sister, they both work in Wal-Mart. I always thought of her as the most popular girl in school and the girl that I would never be able to go out with. Before school ended she kept trying to talk to me but she never got the chance. Finally one day she came up to me and told me she didn't realize I was related to my sister. Those few words threw my off and I was speechless. Every time I talk to her I always run out of words to say. Somehow my sister found out that I liked her and decided to help me out by inviting her over. My question is how do I ask out this girl and how do I know if she likes me or not?

Amir

I'm having a hard time talking to guys. There’s this one guy that I like.
We work together. Not every day but every time I see him I what to be with him. I want him to hold me, Kiss me. Since I never had a boy friend before he was the first guy to kiss me. I know now why I get awkward around him. I want to tell him how I feel but I can't. You see I have a thing that I think that he will not like; I can't read/spell that good. I know people should like you for who you are, and that we all have something that we don't what someone to know. This is not the same thing, this is big. Sometimes I think that’s the only thing holding me back.

Tainted Love

I had met this guy at church whom I was interested in. He had mentioned it to my friends about how much he likes me. He told me himself that he likes me. My problem is that I get so nervous when I get close to this guy; it makes me argue and act mean to him. That hurts his feelings and he confronts me about it. I do apologize any time he confronts me but it keeps happening over and over again. The only time I feel comfortable around him is when we both are on the phone. Just recently we had someone prank us. Just stalking both of us at the same time. I usually see his number on my caller ID, I asked him and he said it wasn't him. It got worse and I called him and went off on him.

I have been married for 8 years and I don't know if I am in love with my husband or my ex-fiancé of 3 years. I am so confused I don't know what to do. I have strong feelings for both. My ex-fiancé and I were so compatible. My husband and I are total opposites. Help! I am so confused!

Confused – 29

I have been with my boyfriend now for almost 7 years. We are High school sweethearts. Right now, I feel as though all the romance in this relationship is gone. He has gotten so comfortable with me that he no longer makes an effort to keep the spark between us alive. I watch romance movies hoping and dreaming that my guy would be like how he was before, but I've told him how I feel and he still hasn't done ANYTHING! What should I do? I still love him, but I feel like I'm stuck in a position that he can only get me out of! Pease help!

Kat

There was this girl in my class last year, and I never really had a conversation with her but sometimes we answered each other’s questions.
Anyway, I always catch her looking at me since the beginning of the year.
But in the last two months, she really was giving me signs so I can go and talk, but I did not have the courage, and I was thinking that it was just me who thinks that she cares about me, and I was always afraid of rejection. So over the summer break, I sent her an email telling her that I care about her and need her, but she did not respond until about a month later, and her reply was "are you the guy in my class?"
Please help me on what to do and what to say. Thank you!

I’m confused; I have been with my boyfriend for 4 years. I’m engaged, as this is what I wanted at the beginning. But his family hated me, and we had a lot of ups and downs we have also went through times where we hardly see each other because he’s been at college although he’s just finished. But he wants me to marry him one day and I really don’t want to, because I feel I have had a married life and I found it boring.

My life has never been that messy! I feel down, lonely, and all negative feelings you can imagine! I broke up with my first love three years ago and since then I have been so confused. I got over him but my heart hasn't been knocked that soft knock which can bring an earthquake to your heart and the entire world. There have been lots of knocks but not the one I was looking for. I am not of that kind who can love easily, even the thought of me tasting it again was hard to accept, till a week ago while I was organizing an event in another city and there he was staring into my eyes in a way that shook my entire world ...
