Question by Mia: Can you have this close a relationship with a male and not be dating him?
I am 25 and am best friends with my male friend, we grew up together coming from almost the same childhood life of drugs etc. Unlike his parents my dad is a junkie just released from jail & my mom is a ex heroin addict who almost OD’ed when i was younger. Both him & i had drug problems also but i got a brilliant job and am 100% clean, he is still using on & off. I can tell him anything and we are almost everywhere together hanging out. Sometimes when i go to the friends house he lives in instead of sleeping in the living room with the other visitors i’ll sleep in his bed with him but we have never had sex at all, we are not attracted to one another like that at all. We can get changed in front of one another and think nothing of it. He always has my back and is always there when i need him & is protective of me and i love him to bits. Can you have a relationship with a male like this and not be with him?

I think that you can have a relationship like that with him, but not be with him. I think its brilliant how you are so close with him, and that you can get changed in front of him without feeling uncomfortable etc.

I think i might be developing feelings for him but i don’t want to act on them and risk losing him as i cant imagine my life without him in it.

Yes, of course you can do all this. It’s not a bad thing. It’s probably healthy to have a guy bud you can lean on. And if anyone has a problem with this, just blow them off.

Yes you can, I have. My best friend in the world was a guy, we did everything together, talked about anything, etc. If you are having feelings for him, you may want to wait a while to let him know. If he doesn’t feel the same way, or if things go south in the relationship, you could lose him for good, then again, I know a couple that was the same way for 14 years, got married, got divorced, and are still best friends. Good luck with what ever decision you make.

Q&A: Can anyone share their experiences with dating someone with a serious drug addiction?
Dec 15th
Question by JEN A: Can anyone share their experiences with dating someone with a serious drug addiction?
I dated a guy for over 2 1/2 years whom had been battling addiction to drugs. We were in a long-distance relationship, so I was not aware of how seriously he was involved & the extent of his using. As far as I knew, he was receiving psychiatric treatment & counselling and participating in a methadone program. Apparently he had an entire “secret” life I knew nothing about. I can only imagine the things he might have been involved in.
Best answer:
Answer by Paige K
Break up with him.
If you have been seeing the same guy for 2 and a half years and you find that he has a “secret” life that he’s told you nothing about, then there is not enough commincation/trust between you.

Some Online Dating Tips
Jan 8th
You can find a number of articles about online dating. They mostly deal with the safety and privacy tips. It is always important to read such articles to know about the risks and benefits of such sites when a person is new to such a dating site. Here are some online dating tips for safeguarding yourself online.
The first important advice for a new online dater is, do not disclose any personal information to a stranger. The truth is that you know nothing about the person you date online. What you know is only what they said to you on line. So it is important for you not to have a blind faith on a stranger. Personal details include your residential address, office address, phone numbers, or bank account details should be safeguarded from the people you talk on line. You never know what the intention the person on the other end has.
People you meet online will be good to you, most of the time it will be true but sporadically you can find some frauds over there. They target people who are too naïve in the dating scenario. You can meet people who are unbalanced, sometimes, sex maniacs, all kinds of people you can meet there. So wait and watch. Do not divulge personal information right away.
Do not rush into things. When you meet a date online, you talk to him or her for a while so that you can get at least some idea about the person. Some people rush into meet date soon after they meet online each other. This is a big mistake. You have to proceed with caution. You never know what they are keeping in mind and what is their hidden agenda.
Do not give your phone number. If you think you should talk with your date online on phone go for a phone line which is for public use. Making a call from your personal phone can be a danger later. If things go wrong you have to confront a stalker. So do not given you phone number to any stranger online.
Once you feel you have established a nice talking relationship with a person on line, you think it is the time for meet this person face to face. This is not a bad idea if you take all the safety measures into consideration. You can take friend with you when you go to meet a strange person you have met online. no matter how nice this person seemed to you in the chatting, you don’t know who the person actually is. Being careful will help you in such cases.
Some people may think it will be good if you take alcohol on the first date. It is a bad idea. Remember you are with a stranger. You should be completely alert. As you know, an alcoholic state is not considered as a stable state of mind.
More over trust your hunches. Sometimes your instincts tell us about the dangers. We often ignore it and do not give importance, however, in circumstances like meeting an online date, you can always trust your gut instinct.
Cheating Myths In Dating at Affairsanddating
Jan 4th
A lot of marriages are prone to infidelity. But while cheating has become commonplace, there are still a lot of myths surrounding the act. Here are some of the many myths on extra marital affairs, and why people still want a bit on the side even when they seem to be part of happy relationships.
Myth 1: Unhappiness causes one to cheat.
For women, an unhappy home is enough reason for an illicit encounter. Females who have been married for a long time and chose to have married affairs report being unsatisfied with their marriage. However, it’s a different story for most men. Unhappiness is not necessarily the prime reason for a marital affair. In fact, most men wouldn’t turn down an opportunity for illicit encounters if they can get away with them. The fact that they are happily married and they love their wives to distraction is inconsequential.
Myth 2: Men cheat more.
Originally, it was men who were at the forefront of extra marital affairs. These days, however, the scales are balancing out because females are starting to cheat for practically the same reasons that men indulge in casual dating: it is a new experience and they get to meet someone new. The act is naughty and therefore, it is hard to resist. This makes an affair a sort of reward for the bored housewife or the homemaker who is unappreciated for the most part.
Myth 3: It’s mostly about sex.
One reason why extra marital affairs are so appealing is because sex with somebody else is a taboo – something that is forbidden. Some married affairs are more about the sex than anything else, but it’s not always the reason. Many people cheat because it allows them to get something that they are not getting from their current partners. Something is missing in their relationships; hence, they find it elsewhere. Unfortunately, defining exactly what it is that is missing is more difficult. In many cases, the partner isn’t even aware that something is amiss.
Myth 4: Cheating means not loving your partner.
It may feel like your partner doesn’t love you when he or she goes around having affairs. But this is not necessarily true for every instance. But cheating does mean that your partner’s respect for you is not enough for him or her to honour the commitment that you’ve made to each other. There are people who can actually separate love from sex. Sleeping around doesn’t necessarily affect their love for their partners
