Hi, I'm 21 years of age. Currently studying Medicine in Europe. Just graduated there last year in a Biomedical Health and Life Science program in Ireland.

Joined to help people in anyway I can, willing to listen to anyone's problems. Was a peer mentor for years and told I'm a good listener, willing to take on any issue. Most knowledgeable about medical or scientific issues but I hope I can help anyone with any issue.

If you're faced with a problem, and think the luck fo the Irish can help you out, give me a shout.

I am in 20s, a college student female, also working full time for this person almost half a year. He is very smart person in his 50s or even more, and we all respect him. We rarely see each other because he is very busy with his other locations - businesses but he always calls to the office to check things. The thing is that I like him as a father, I respect him and do what he tells me to do. Whenever I have a problem, he helps me and solves all my problems right away. He asks about my college, whether I was doing good in school and stuff like that. He treats me as if I was his daughter (At least that's how it seems to me). Also he has a large family, a wife and several grown up children my own age. I like him so much that I even miss hem sometimes. I do think of him a lot and sometimes have dreams about hitm, but there is nothing sexual, and he would never do that to any of us. My own father died when I was little and I always missed my father's love and attention. I found this attention from my boss and and for me he became my secret father. By the way, I have a boyfriend who is far away due to his studies. What should I do? Should I quit? I think he even does not have a time to think about me, and he has more important things like his family and business, but I am jealous. Please help me. (link)
I think your boss is talking to you because he has people in his own family of a similar age, and knows how to treat you accordingly. He appears to be a well meaning man, and you are seeing him as more of a paternal figure than a person above you in a place of employment.

I am 21, and have a boss of the same age, and thought he would think of me a lot, but if you think about it he appears to be a busy man and in reality would only be making conversation with you out of politeness and courtesy while at work and to be professional rather than someone more personal like a father daughter relationship.

It may be better to try and find a more concrete social outlet elsewhere, trying keeping in contact with your boyfriend more, ring him every evening or become more involved in another social group outside work where there is more male interaction. The lack of a paternal figure as you grew up could be an inner desire to have male attention, as you felt it was something you missed when you were younger.

My advice, talk to your boyfriend a bit more, phones are everywhere now, and learn to find other social outlets, meet friends for coffee, get know your other work colleagues better.

Hope this helps.


This is how I act around my crush! And I can't help but stare into his eyes because his eyes are so dreamy and beautiful, and make me feel really good. I just love looking at his eyes, and we tend to have longer eye contact than normal, and I'm usually umcomfortable about too much eye contact to pretty much everyone, but not with him.

I also act a lot more polite and with more ettiquete than I normally would, because, well, I don't want to give off a bad impression or anything, but I think I come across as looking more innocent than I actually am. But we have a similar, witty sense of humor, and he often tries to catch my attention during class, by just making weird sounds or trying to make me laugh in a goofy way. he's gently teased me a few times, too, over pretty much nothing!

I just feel drawn to him like a magnet (to put it in PG terms, if you know what I mean), and I feel like we could really connect if I got to know him better, but I don't know how to ask for his number or anything like that, without it appearing like I'm obviously "coming on" to him.

Like right now I feel like we're strong acqaintances, but I don't know how to tell if he likes me back, too, more than a friend. I only talk to him in that one class, cause we sit near each other, and we're both sort of loners, so idk if that plays a part in why he doesn't talk to others around much. idk. but when i walk in at the beginning of class he always diverts his attention to me, which has made have to dress better if he's scrutinizing over what i'm wearing and what not!

We're both 17 btw (link)
It appears there is a certain chemistry between both of you. The best way to see if he would be interested with him would be to dry and have a conversation with him about a general topic, sports, school etc.

By getting to know him, on a more personal/conversational level, it would be easier to see if there was any chance of developing into something more.

Good Luck!


I was 11 an got appendicitis, I have a large amount of vaginal discharge (I'm guessing) I'm 13 now and I still have it. Any advice on that? Also, my inner lips on my vagina hang very low? Is that normal? I feel so ugly. I'm a very thin girl too, could that make a difference? I just some advice on if I'm normal? (link)
You sound perfectly normal. As a young person of 13, you still have plenty of time to grow, and it appears that you do not have any other medical conditions at the moment.

Vaginal discharge is a common process, especially during menstruation. It is also associated with certain STDs, however, at such a young age, there is little indications that there is any abnormalities.


When i went to the restroom and poop and i wiped myself, thiers was blood on the tissue , this has been going on for likee 3 times now but thier not constant .
is this bad ? (link)
Agreeing with the previous answer, it would be best to see a doctor.

Blood forming in stool, or poo can be for a number of reasons including haemorrhoids. However, for the majority of people, recurrence is not found to be over a long period of time. On most occasions, it does clear up itself over a short period of time. If it does not, it could be an indication of something more serious, which would mean seeking out medical advice immediately.
