I have had the worst luck in relationships, my last boyfriend broke up with me a few weeks ago for almost no reason, after he told me 'he'd never felt this way before' & how happy he was with me. i now dont think i can trust anyone. i just want to be happy :(

He sounds like a total ass! You clearly deserve so much better than that. I can see how it would be hard to trust anyone after what he did to you. There are guys out there that will treat you right, like you deserve. But the best advice I can give you right now is that you can’t be happy with someone else until you are happy with yourself. Spend some time identifying who you are and what really makes you happy. When you’re happy you will attract other happy people. & when the next guy comes along, you just have to trust your first instincts to see whether or not he is worth your trust. It takes a huge amount of courage to trust again after you have been hurt, but it could be the best thing you do. Goodluck :)

Heartbreak is a horrible thing. The only known healer is time. It doesn’t seem like it but it will get easier. Until then you need to do all you can to distance yourself from him. Delete his facebook and do not text or call him! A clean break is the best break. If you think there may be a chance you can fix things, go for it, you have nothing more to lose! But if that doesn’t work, you need to stay away from him. He doesn’t deserve you if he’s unsure about you anyway. There’s someone out there that will treat you the way you deserve to be treated. Surround yourself with distractions like good friends and fun activities. And whatever you do, stay away from love movies for a while!

I'm nearly 17 and the only one left from my group of friends at school that is still a virgin. I feel left out when they talk about sex and it's starting to get me down that it hasn't happened yet!

I don’t want to sound like your Mum, but your virginity is a really really special thing. You should be proud you haven’t lost it to any random guy at a drunken party, (like probably some of your friends have). I regret my first time and wish I had waited so it could have been with someone special. You shouldn’t settle for anyone or any time, you deserve for it to be perfect! There are other ways you can contibute to sex conversations without feeling like the outsider. Try talking to your friends about their experiences, it will help you know what to expect for when your special time arrives. Stay strong! :)

I have been feeling really down lately, like a few bad things have happened but nothing too dramatic, I just can't seem to be happy and even my family has noticed. It feels like I can't be happy anymore :(

Maybe look deeper into the situation, is there something in your immediate life that is bringing you down, maybe a family member or a friend? Or is it something from your past? The best thing to do would be to focus on the good things in your life, no matter how hard that may seem.We too often forget that happiness doesn’t come from getting something we don’t have, it’s appreciating the things we do have. Cheer up :)

My bestfriend of 4 years has a really great boyfriend and they are both incredibly happy together. Only thing is I have been going through a real hard time lately with failed relationships & I feel like I can't vent to her properly because she has him. I am a bit jealous of them as much as I am so happy for her. I just can't help but zone out when she talks to me about them. How can I be a better friend!? :(

That is a hard situation :( The best advice I can offer is to talk to her about how you feel. Tell her you’re sorry you have been a little unattentive to her feelings towards her boyfriend lately, but you have found it hard after what has happened to you recently. Explain that you’re happy for her but have found it hard to cope lately. I’m sure she will understand and be more sensitive to your feelings. It will get easier with time, I promise. And I’m sure someone is right around the corner that you will want to vent to her about! Goodluck :)

I have a hopeless crush on a guy I work with. Thing is, we have worked together for almost half a year & he still won't pay attention to me! What can I do to get him to notice me?

Firstly, how great is this guy? Because work flings can be risky and can make things incredibly awkward! But if he is totally worth it, I would say you need to take a risk. Maybe casually ask him what he is doing on the weekend, and if he is free suggest a movie, or a coffee! Sounds scary right, well I guess you have nothing to lose right? Another option is seeking him out on facebook and striking up a conversation. Hope I helped!

My ex and I broke up over a year ago, we were together for nearly 2 years. He broke my heart, but we both moved on and are now good friends. I'm still single, he has had a new gf for a year. Yet he now calls me nearly every day. I don't have feelings for him but I love our new found friendship, I just feel bad for his gf and wonder, could he still have feelings for me!? :/

I guess the only person that knows the answer to that is him. Maybe he truly values your friendship, or maybe there is more to it than that. But it shows how loyal you are to consider his new girlfriends feelings above how much you enjoy being his friend. I guess the question is, does his new girlfriend know how much the two of you talk? If not, There are most likely more complicated feelings involved. Maybe make it clear where you stand, even if you have to sneakly drop things like ‘Thanks, you’re such a great friend’ in conversations to see his response. If this still doesn’t solve it, maybe take a step back & if he persists, ask him straight out where you stand. Goodluck!
