- Free asks: I’m 21-year-old girl with a boyfriend who always wants space in his life. He considers his friends more important than me, but he also doesn’t want to breakup with me and gives me the hope of coming back to his life. And I just can’t stay apart from him for an hour also! I love him more than my soul; he is my world. I’m a highly sensitive empath who feels a lot, so I don’t know how to deal with this.Hi Free – I’m going to say something to you that’s not as judgmental as it may sound. But it seems to me you’re addicted to your boyfriend. You know addictions, the way people are addicted to cigarettes or coffee or whatever? See, that doesn’t mean they ... read more
- Gigi67 asks: There’s this guy…we used to be best friends. One day he suddenly asked me out and it went quite well for 3 days and we got intimate and everything, but after that he suddenly stopped talking to me. He told he’s busy but I’m not sure if that’s the truth. What do I do? How do I make him talk to me again?Hi Gigi67 – Well, as often happens here, I have to say that I’m a very smart dog, but I’m not psychic.

- Jerry asks: A boy proposed to me one year ago and I said no to him. But he continuously sent me messages, so I replied to some of them to make him understand that we can’t be in a relationship, as my family is so conservative and I’m not interested in all these things; I have to focus on my study. But he doesn’t understand this and he emotionally tortures me by saying that I am so arrogant, I have so much attitude. How do I make him understand that he should stop sending me messages because it disturbs me? We have talked so many times on this topic, and at the end he agreed that he would not send me messages again, but he didn’t stop messaging me. I’m tired of him and I have a fear that if someone in my family reads his message then I’ll have to face a big problem. My family is so strict I can’t talk to them on this matter. I have blocked him, but still his message shows on my phone’s notification. I’m 17 years old and he is also 17. We studied together, but now we are in different cities due to studies. We never talked in childhood, but just studied together. He stole my number from my friends mobile. Please suggest what should I do.Hi Jerry – Well I have an easy answer for you, but you’ve already done it. I get a lot of letters from people with strict families, trying to figure out how to handle the fact that they love someone their family doesn’t accept. But that’s not you. ... read more
- flowerhotmami asks: I am wondering if my boyfriend loves me enough. We have a beautiful daughter, she’s 5 months old now. I found out that he was flirting with other girls back when I was pregnant, and even asked someone on a date. I was asking if he has plans to marry me, but all he would tell me was he wants us to be prepared financially and emotionally. Before I got pregnant we were almost 2 years in a relationship. When I found out about him cheating on me I still gave him another chance, because he asked to and he was sorry he said. And I love him and want my baby to have a complete family. But again, does he love me enough that he will really marry me?Hi flowerhotmami – You’re asking a great question. One which I can’t begin to answer – I have no idea what he feels (I’m a very smart dog but I’m not psychic). But I want to talk about something else. He may very well love you to the ... read more
- AayuTheLegend asks: I have a boy in school who is trying to win my girl over. And I think he is good at it. He can attract her pretty easily, and I want you to help me. I am not the kind of guy who would go up and fight someone; I am the kind of guy who is sweet and caring. I have told him to back off many times, but he just doesn’t listen.Hi AayuTheLegend – Well this is an awfully interesting development! You just won this girl over, and now suddenly this other guy is trying to muscle in? I’ll confess, I am the sort who’d react with violence. But just a little. See, when my human friend Handsome ... read more
- Manuu asks: I have been wanting to date a girl a very long time, but she told me she has someone else she loves. But I can’t comprehend that in my head, because I love her way too much. Any time she talks about that guy I get so jealous and mad that even, a lot of time, I cry. I really do love her and don’t wanna leave her. What should I do?Hi Manuu – Oh I so understand where you’re coming from! I’ll see my human friend Handsome fall in love with a woman, and get all obsessive about her, and I just can’t understand what he’s doing when I’m available and so in love with him, and always ... read more
- Cheeky asks: I’m 19 and I have a boyfriend whom currently I’ve been having problems with when it comes to my mom. Mom is always on our nerves and doesn’t want us together so she is kinda trying to destroy our relationship. She doesn’t want to accept that I’m a grown-up now and that I have a say when it comes to anything that I do. She treats me as if I’m a 10-year-old and I don’t like that at all. I just want to live a normal life whereby they consider my opinion and choices too. What should I do to make Mom accept the fact that I really do love him and that I’m now grown up, because it’s really stressing me up?Hi Cheeky – Okay, I’m going to take BOTH sides of this one. Sorry, but that’s what we dogs are like – we like everyone! First of all, of course you’re right. You have a relationship that’s just right for you right now, and your mom is trying to ... read more
- Jhalli asks: When you answered my last question, you mentioned CRAZY LOVE! Can you explain what crazy love is?Hi Jhali – You mean when I talked about the love Handsome and I have for each other? Well, when I say “Crazy,” I mean that it’s love that’s so strong it takes us out of our usual minds. For example, one time he left town and I ... read more
- Loser asks: I’m from a very small and conservative country. Our society is very complicated. Here boys and girls even can’t talk properly. Our school isn’t combined. But apart from that we all contact with each other in social media. I had a boyfriend. At first everything was so good. We met secretly and those memories – gosh! I don’t know what love is but if it exists then I loved him a lot. He broke up with me a lot of times, but then when he came back and apologized I always forgave him. But a week ago suddenly he stopped talking to me. I thought he was in a depression, but 3 days ago he compared me with his ex. And yesterday he hurt me by his words. I want to forget him, but I can’t. I love him so much. And he was my 3rd boyfriend. It was my last attempt. If I fail this time, our so called conservative school and those girls and boys will slut-shame me. I can’t find anyone good. I don’t know what to do.Hi Loser – Okay, so let me start by saying I hate having said “Hi Loser!” That sounds like I’m insulting you, and I don’t feel that way toward you at all! (Tell you what, how about, if you write me back, please say, just once, “Hello you stinking ... read more
- mr. mister asks: I in 10th, and had a crush on a girl, so I started my friendship with her and eventually we got close. But she was still not ready to accept me as her mate, because she was dumped by another guy and was in pain and hadn’t overcome it. I thought that I should give her time and support her whenever she needed (she is a very joyful girl), but after two months Christmas arrived, and I don’t know why, but she stopped talking to me. I was like “why the heck are you ignoring me?” I tried to contact her best friend, because she wasn’t replying to me. After two days or three I received her text to stop calling her, “because if my parents get to know about this then I won’t be able to talk to you in my entire life.” I asked her to reply and talk to me, she said she didn’t feel she could date me, and I said “dude , you said yes to me two weeks before.” She told me that she wanted to reject me in a polite way – just because I was getting a little possessive about her, making her mad at me. Now if I am her boy, then I will be possessive, because I don’t want anyone to hurt her again. So was I wrong at any point of time? Now she has stopped talking to me, but I want to talk to her and again get close to her because I think that she was my lucky chap and i used to live to the fullest. And now I keep thinking about her, and my board exams are also approaching and I am unable to concentrate. Please help me so that I can score well and also get her back in my life?Hi mr. mister – Oh this is such a tough situation! I deal with this all the time. Some humans like it when I jump on them, some hate that but like getting lots of kisses, and some find dog-kisses gross. In each case, I just want to ... read more
- Jhalli asks: I ‘m fond of watching romantic dramas and web series and reading romantic novels. There are several love stories I saw. I feel that hopefully, these love stories can happen in my life also. My friends say I’m living in a fantasy world. Is it possible that love stories can happen in the real world or maybe in my life, like in the series? Does a pure love exist in the real world also?Hi Jhalli – Well I hope it’s not breaking news when I tell you that rarely is real life as pretty as it exists on the screen. I’m no judge of human beauty, but I do know that the world is full of hospitals and there isn’t one ... read more
- Jewell asks: My boyfriend of 2 years told me, after I gained admission to university, that I should try other guys and enjoy myself in school, so as not to be blinded by my love for him. He told me he wants to be part of my world, not my whole world. That I should be focused in school and achieve something. He is far away from me but we don’t talk always, as he said we shouldn’t always talk. He said he loves me so much but if I was around I would have been his whole world. I’m confused I don’t know what to think anymore.Hi Jewell – I have a few reactions to this. First, it definitely does sound like he truly cares about you, and wants the best for you, and that’s a great thing, no matter what. Second, it’s clear he wants you to live your life as well as ... read more
- Join my pack asks: I’ve been in a marriage for the past five years, but most of the time our life is in problems based on our family surroundings. I want some respect from my partner’s family, but that is not given to me properly and he won’t give them up. I think he didn’t give priority to me, and this affects me and our relationship badly. What should I do?Hi Join my pack – I find this situation so sad. Why would a family not treat their young man’s wife with respect? Don’t they realize that you are part of their family now? One of them? But in the end, I have to really take a hard ... read more
- Jaggu asks: I met a guy through online chatting. We grew close in a few days and I proposed to him. He admitted that he likes me. After that we chatted and video called continuously, and after about a month we proposed love for each other. Then his exams started and he firstly started ignoring me, then eventually he stopped all the messages and calls. He didn’t even contact me after the exams, and forgot my birthday. After this I directly confronted him and asked him if he wanted to breakup with me. He refused and told me that he is busy with his work nowadays and he will not talk to me every day but some days only. I miss him very much and I love him genuinely. I don’t know what to do now. I don’t want to break up with him. Can you tell me what to do?Hi Jaggu – I have a pretty strong opinion about this one. Being a dog, my relationships with others aren’t exactly the same as you humans have. For example, my best friends are dogs I like to play roughly with – we tumble and pretend-fight and have a great ... read more
