- Wise asks: I’m dating someone online and I get to see him only when I’m in school cause he lives close to there. Everything was perfect until now, he’s always telling me to be more romantic and show him my revealing pictures but I don’t feel comfortable doing it – yet he doesn’t want to understand me. And he’s dating someone else but he said he doesn’t like that one, he likes me. But doesn’t want to break up with her. And we’ve only been dating for 2 weeks. Now I think I like someone else because I’m tired of the way things are going with my boyfriend. What do I do because I’m so confused?Hi Wise – Wow this sounds really difficult. It’s cool that you met a boy near your school online, and things started off good, but I don’t like him asking you to send you revealing pictures (those can get into the wrong hands, or onto social media, SO easily!) ... read more
- Guptaaa_ asks: See, my problem is with my boyfriend. I have been crushing on him continuously for the last 4.5 years, and then last year we came into a relationship. In that relationship he ditched me and left me. Now after the last few months apart he came back to me a few days ago. It seemed like he is serious, but now it doesn’t look that way. Tell me? What do I do now?Hi Guptaa – Wow this sounds really difficult. The first part of your story sounds wonderful and romantic – you have this long crush on a guy and then you two actually get together. It’s the perfect love story. But now he’s leaving you, coming back, acting serious, acting ... read more
- rohit1996 asks: Some days ago I did a mistake. In anger I insulted a girl who is my friend. My behaviour was the worst. We have not talked for long time. Now I feel guilty. I want to tell her I’m sorry. But she is out of town for a long time. I want to talk her about my mistake, but I can’t call her because I think she doesn’t want to talk with me. I am afraid for if she will not talk with me then I can’t do anything. Please give me a solution. I felt very sorry for that moment. but at that time situation is not in my control. I want to apologize for my behaviour in front of her. So plz help me. It’s a long time since we’ve talked. Now I can’t face her.Hi rohit1996 – So this is going to sound weird, but you’re actually in a very good place for this. What I mean is that, very often, people get into arguments and insult each other, and feel they’re each completely right. In this case, you know you ... read more
- Nymeria asks: I met a girl a few months ago, she’s sweet, beautiful, smart, she’s perfect to me. We used to talk a lot, but everything changed in an instant. She always told me she’s been studying for her board exam, and this was her only reason for not replying back to me. And I was thinking, could it really be the only reason why she doesn’t talk to me anymore? I don’t know what I should do.Hi Nymeria – Thanks for your question about the girl. There’s a lot I don’t know from your question. How long has it been since she stopped replying? How long had you two been talking before that? And, maybe biggest of all, when was/is that exam? Of ... read more
- Pennelope0214 asks: The guy I wrote you about finally made a move. We’ve talked about it, and he sometimes says it was spur-of-the-moment and sometimes says it wasn’t; and I find myself saying the same to him about my responding to it. But here’s the problem: I have been through an incident where my ex tried murdering me. He cut my throat and yet somehow I survived. So I am too scared to take that risk again. I have real feelings for this guy but it makes me sick to even think about getting into a relationship. This guy keeps on comforting me, asking me to come back as soon as possible. But how am I supposed to confront to him about the same? It’s going to break him. Even yesterday, on a call he said he would like to kiss me again and would give me that authority. I somehow managed to hang up. I don’t know what to do.Hi Pennelope0214 – What a horrible horrible experience! I am so sorry! You dropped it into your question so casually, too, like one of my friends saying “I had a human once who sometimes forgot to feed me, or get me my shots.” No, you’re talking about attempted ... read more
- HONEST TO A FAULT …how to avoid coming off as desperate…We dogs don’t really like TV. Lots of the time the noise bothers us (NO dog likes Game of Thrones – though I don’t think I’ve met a person who doesn’t!), and of course it’s always taking our humans’ attention away from where we want it – on US! ... read more
- jovan28 asks: My girlfriend and I have been together for about six months now. We met on LoveMe over a year ago. We started out as friends and eventually got together. She’s a really great girl; smart, understanding, nice, appealing, and more positive attributes. The problem right now is that she doesn’t know about my three-year-old child that I had with an ex. It’s not like I was trying to hide it from her. I just didn’t get the chance to open up to her about my boy. I also don’t have much opportunity to introduce him to video chat since he lives and stays with his mom most days. I started hinting at her about children. Maybe she thought I wanted kids or maybe she took it as a sign that I have a kid. My ex-girlfriend’s okay with me seeing someone since she’s already with someone else herself. She told me I should introduce our kid to my girlfriend as soon as possible. I think she’s right. What if my girlfriend doesn’t like the idea of me having a child with someone else? At least I would know ahead, right? How do I tell my girlfriend that I already have a son? I want to reassure her that my obligations with my child won’t be a problem for us. I want to give her the assurance that despite the constant communication between me and my ex-girlfriend, nothing will happen. I need help from anyone. Any advice will do.Hi jovan28 – This is a problem I see people having all the time. You know, when we dogs meet, we decide whether we like each other right away, and that’s all we need to know. If that other pooch is a fighter or a fraidy-cat, then yeah, ... read more
- meghna98 asks: One month ago I met a guy in college. We liked each other and started dating. We were so happy. But then one day he said maybe in the future his parents won’t agree, so he doesn’t want to hurt me and broke up. I convinced him that we’ll make our careers and then convince his parents, but we’ll be in our relationship. He agreed but two days later he broke up, saying he doesn’t want to hurt me. He doesn’t even want to meet me because I’ll make him weak. But I want him back. I don’t want to give up so easily. I want to fight for us and make it work. The thing is he is very negative. I want to change his negative thoughts. I know he loves me and I want us to be together. What should I do?Hi meghna98 – This is an interesting situation. I get lots of questions from young people who want their parents to like their boyfriend or girlfriend, or who want to learn how to get their beloved’s parents to like them better. But you’re my first to have this problem. ... read more
- Foolwhodream asks: I’m having a hard time. I don’t understand what is happening in my life and I’m living blindly. I feel like I’m not worth living in this world, what should I do to let good things happen in my life?Hi Foolwhodream – Of course, I don’t know anything more than what you tell me in your letter, so I don’t know what you’re having the hard time with, or what actually is happening in your life. So I can’t speak to those (except to say that I watch ... read more
- Chewy asks: How to move onHi Chewy – I’d be glad to help you with moving on, but I’d have to know what you’re moving on from! The easy answer is Lao Tzu’s great line that “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.” In other words, the way to move on is ... read more
- Aval asks: I am 21 years old and have been in love with a man of my age for more than 4 years. We were happy, till I cheated on him with his best friend. I cried a lot and he accepted me back. But after that I hurt him many times by talking and being in touch with the third person. He showed his anger every time he got hurt. And ill-treated me in response. Which has left me hurt a lot. I am afraid that I’ll lose my temper and that could even end in break up. What should I do?? Should I give up my self-respect to live with him? Or should I move on?Hi Aval – This is a really tough situation. On one hand, you’re very open and honest about where you’ve gone wrong. But on the other… you’ve gone wrong a lot. It was hurtful for you to cheat with his best friend, and more by keeping things going ... read more
- Priyankasodhi asks: My 8 months long relationship ended. I wasn’t able to go to my beloved’s place so he said I don’t want to be anymore in this relationship. We loved each other a lot, but we used to fight a lot. He always blamed me for everything always. He used to say, “You ruin the whole mood, you are making me go!” But I never really said anything to him. For example, we were having a good convo and I said “I love you” and in funny tone “cause you ain’t going to say it,” and he got furious at me. He said, How could you say this to me?!” I would wonder, “What did I just said to him? I know we aren’t any longer together, but I still wonder, was it all my fault?Hi Priyankasodhi – We dogs are the most loyal animals ever. We love our humans, and put up with all sorts of mistreatment and even abuse (Don’t get the wrong idea; Handsome doesn’t abuse me, except sometimes he hugs me so tight it makes me cough!). But even ... read more
- Suzi asks: I am in a huge mess… I’ve been in a relationship for the past 5 years and everything was going on – well I wont say smooth but well many ups and downs were going on… I have broken his trust quite a lot but not done anything wrong, I mean characterwise… just a couple of weeks ago I had a huge problem and somehow I managed it. There was a friend among us who told my boyfriend that if these things go on I will tell you to break up with her (meaning me). After that everything was smooth … I don’t know what has happened, but 2 days back my boyfriend started behaving with me very badly. I just told him to meet me, he said no, I said are you sure, he said I had again started the drama. Actually whatever I do he finds everything a drama… I am very afraid that if there is a break up what will I do… and my boyfriend thinks he is right in everything…. he does this with his family too.. its the boy on my life or i am in this world…!! My boyfriend is very short tempered and doesn’t understand anything. He is not a good listener. Can u please say what should I do now …please I am in a huge mess… I cant live without him….what will happen …??? What should I do.???Hi Suzi – This is a really tough situation. On one hand, you’re acknowledging where you’ve gone wrong, and broken his trust. But on the other… you haven’t gone wrong a lot. Whatever it was that his friend was complaining about, it doesn’t sound like it was that bad. But ... read more
- future asks: Hi, recently I have been thinking about my future a lot. Which therefore means I have some questions about my career choice, I want to be a veterinary nurse, so what path do I take to get that?Hi future – I’m afraid my experience with veterinary nursing has always been on the receiving end (OUCH!), so I’m no expert on how to become one. But I can tell you, on behalf of all the animals in the world, THANK YOU for wanting to do such ... read more
- Pennelope0214 asks: So more about that boy I wrote you about before. We had a college DJ night the other day. First day he was all good telling me I look hot and all. The second day I was drunk, he didn’t come to me. But when I stopped dancing and was standing in a corner he came to me and asked me what’s wrong, I said that one of my friends said I’m smelling, he told me is nothing and come dance (He doesn’t like girls drinking). The other day we were in a lounge for a friend’s party, I didn’t drink that time. When we were returning back, he wrapped around me in a cab. We had great time together when I was not drunk. Day before yesterday, he made me jealous by going to tea with another girl when we used to go together; he didn’t even call me. But yesterday, he was all dressed up in formals, asked me for tea and then for a walk. Which I did but still jealous and kinda upset. It’s like he takes all the attention at once and gives it back whenever he desires. The first thing, if he liked me why would he make me jealous and the second thing, if he didn’t like me why would he try to change me by asking me to stop my bad habits?Hi Pennelope0214 – Well, I’m up a tree too; I have no idea what he wants or doesn’t. With one exception: it’s extremely clear this boy cares about you a lot. He doesn’t like drinking (at least you say he doesn’t like girls drinking; does he think it’s okay ... read more
