About James Expertise I can answer most questions on dating from male or female perspective, straight or gay as i believe every person goes through the same problems in life but on different scales.
Experience I've always given people advice, its something i'm good at, i'm gay and have been with my boyfriend for 3 years,i don't think our relationships perfect but its healthy. I give my female friends advice and they say i'm good because i'm honest, its not always the thing they want to hear but in the end it makes for happiness. My relationship started out long distance and we now live together, so i can give personal advice on a lot of issues which i have dealt with. I'm a nice, polite guy and i'm applying as i really want to help people with personal issues.
Education/Credentials well i attended and passed secondary school (high school) but apart from that its just the school of life, i feel i naturally understand and relate to people, something no education could get you.
Question I really like this guy. And we "secretly" dated last year for 3 weeks. By secretly i mean I didn't tell anyone because my friends don't like him and they don't think he's right for me. He's really a good person but my friends don't like the age difference and think he's too immature for me. He actually broke up with me but wanted to go back out the next day, but I didn't. We've been talking on the phone a lot. I can't seem to get him off my mind. I dream and think about him 24/7. I tried going back out with him but that just brought a lot of drama between me, him, and a friend. So I called it off. He keeps telling me he loves me and wants to be with me, and deep down I love him and want to be with him too. But I don't want to lose close friends for being with him. What should I do?
Answer Hiya Crystal,
Your friends should stick by you, they don't want to see you hurt but you should tell them that you need to do this just incase it works out and if it doesn't work people need to learn by their mistakes. The decision is up to you, good friends will be there for you no matter what, its times like these when you find out who cares about you enough to put aside their better judgement and see you happy.
