Dear Katie,
I'm a 47 year old man. My wife died just over 8 year ago. Recently I met a woman that I'm very attracted to but it's the first time since my wife died that I've had feelings for another woman. I'm confused about what my next move should be.
Pat, Galway.

Dear Pat,
The older one gets, the more difficult it is to find romantic opportunities. If you're lucky enough to have found another person that makes you feel excited inside, then I think you should go for it. Ask her out for a coffee or even dinner. Take things slowly, so as you don't become overwhelmed.

Dear Katie,
I'm a 21 year old student and I keep making myself sick. Sometimes I make myself vomit two or three times a day and have been doing so for about two years now. The thing is that I know I am not over weight, but I just can't stop myself. My friend found out, but I made her promise not to tell anyone. I'd like to tell my parents, but I'm too worried they'll get upset. What should I do?

Dear Lucy,
Many girls suffer from bulimia; you're not alone in this. I know you may be embarrassed, but telling your parents is very important. Remember, your parents love you unconditionally and will only want to help you. Bottling things up will only cause you stress. Talk to your parents and start living your life to the full.

Dear Katie,
I've just moved in with my boyfriend and we're always at each other's throat. I don't really understand what happened because, before I officially moved in, I used to stay over at his apartment all the time and we got on great. Do you think if I move out again things might go back to the way they were?
Becky, Limerick.

Dear Becky,
If you're arguing quite a lot, taking space is probably the best option. Space will give you both a chance to breath. I also suggest you spend some time with your friends and take up a hobby. You both need your own interests so as you're not totally dependent on each other.
