About Ryan
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can answer questions about long distance relationships, high school/college relationships, crushes, jealousy, heart break, love at a young age, sex at a young age and talking about marriage when you're in your teens. I can also help if your parents dissaprove of your bf/gf. I know all the lingo, I know Facebook, IMing, MySpace, etc., so hearing these words won't be new to me.

Experience
I have been through numerous relationships, long distance relationships, and loving ones. I know how to handle every situation in the manner it should be.

Education/Credentials
In college for engineering, have taken numerous psychology/sociology classes in college, as well as having a mother who is a psychiatrist.
