Hi Vanae,

How are you? Hope you are doing great.

I guess like others I just happened to come acrossed your videos in youtube. Click here and there, eventually I landed here in you official website. Pretty cool way of expressing your thoughts and ideas. I guess you won’t be hearing the last from me.

Oh by the way, I am residing at the other corner of the world. Gee technology really can bring us nearer, look what the technology has done. Anyway, great to explore your site and like the dating tips. I am sure lots of guys are grateful to you. Cheers.

Hey! Vanae,
I watched your video, signs that she likes me or not. Well, I have a question. This is regarding a girl that I am dating. You know girls could be a heck of a confusion for the guy, and so is she. About 3 weeks ago, I met this girl, who seem to like a lot in the first conversation and I felt that she liked me too. We went out for a formal date about 10 days ago. I took her to a romantic french restaurant and took her out for desert. Well, all that evening she held my hand really tightly and I felt that things were happening a little fast. But, I accepted it thinking if this is for good, then I am OK. At the end of the night, when I dropped her off. Then came that ender moment and we kissed each other really like lovers. I saw the glare in her eyes and I knew she is in love with me. Any how, cutting the story short, I am confused after that terrific date, she has slowed down. SHe has an exam that she is taking this week, so I am not sure if that is on top of her mind all the time. But before this she would call me every night. All, I was not able to figure out, is this the exam factor or has she changed her mind. Give me your thought on this.
Thanks
Jessie

Hey Vanae, this is weird…one of my good friends Vinod from Singapore (whom you apparently me at some aiesec thing more than a year back) tells me you’re living at the EPA mansion now. I’m from Singapore too and while i was there for a good year, EPA mansion was my home…and a lot of crazy things happened there…is Chris berry still there? anyways, watching your videos brought back alot of memories of the place…drop me a mail and let me know how its like…im wondering if all our photos i printed out are still stuck on the fridge.

cheers!

Hey Vanae, What’s up baby! I came across your videos on the youtube website and it’s very useful for guys like me who are taking beginner lessons in love and relationships. Thank you very much.

But, in the meantime I would also ask your views on premarital sex which is the topic to be addressed. It’s considered a taboo to go in for premarital sex in any part of world today. Thats it.

Your show is great and keep up the good work.

Hiya Vanea

First I would like to say that I love you’re videos on you tube, I think that what you are trying to do is amazing. Thanks. I was also wandering if you could help me out a little.

I live and work on England at an airport, and I am a baggage handler. I get to see lots of people, but only for short periods of time. I am also quite shy, but who isn’t. Now there is this girl that I like who I don’t get to see all of the time. She is quite a friendly girl, and someone told her that I was into her. She realised that I was. We do talk about stuff whe I see her, so we are cool together. She says she is also quite shy. Now, a friend of mine told me that she is on facebook. I found her and added her as my freind, she accepted, which was nice. I found out that she has taken 3 weeks off work, so the only way I can talk to her now is facebook.

Is this a good idea? I hope you can help xxxxxxx

Antony

Vanae,
Please, I can’t believe you never expected that some wacko would eventually find your videos and send you stuff like that.(dennis) I’m surprised you have not received worse.

As far as the help videos for the guys, I applaud you. I was one of those inept young men at one point in my life, and some of my friends (which happened to be girls) helped me understand the female psyche. Because the guys were just totally clueless.

Dont answer good things just to be nice to me please.i have a problem in my leg and makes me walk funny, this makes me very shy at the time of approaching any girl. i want a honest answer please. do girls mind if a guy has a physical problem when they look at guy like a potential partner ? what is the first idea that comes to the mind of a girl if she is approach by a man with a physical problem ? for dating not friendship.

Hi,
I wasn’t sure where to ask a question, but I have been following your posts on Youtube and you offer great advice!

I have a girlfriend, been together for like 5 months, the thing is that now we are at long distance because she moved back to Japan and I’ll be following soon because its my intention to become a teacher there.

Anyways, lately shes been really busy and we hardly talk,
normally I am pretty cool about these things but its been like 2 weeks, and now lil things are getting to me, like shed normally say I love you everyday but it has been a week since>.<

I know I am overreacting and the best I can do is give her some space because I know her pharmacy exams are more important but…

Well, what do you suggest? I email her a little to let her know I am there but also not too much to not smother her.
I just wait it out?

Thanks=)

Hey i need some advice. There was this girl who I was hanging around with for a while. I kiss her on the check and we still were hanging around she would still text me and call me. But one day i was talking to her on the phone i was telling her all these stories that other girls were all over me but i told her nothing happen. Then she told me she had a boyfreind and i got really piss because I felt i was always honest with her and she made an ass out me. I told her i didnt want to be her freind and she keep insisting to still be my freind. Then i dont call her for about 2 months then she tells me that she missed me as a freind. So I decided to be just freinds. Things start to go back the way they were slowly but i never got over the fact she lie to me and i dont want to be her freind but she still wants to be my freind.

Nice videos and content, keep it up. i cant help it notice though (being a chiropractor) that you’re hair is constantly making you tilt you head to the right, tsk tsk. let me know when you start having neck pain and headaches, then perhaps we can exchange chiro adjustments for …i dont know, advice/opinions.

So thanks for that.

I think I have a good idea of how to keep a girls attention, the thing is, I don’t yet know how to attract their attention in the first place. I’m rather shy and can warm up to them after a little time, I just need some advice on how to get them to notice me without me trying to introduce myself and having them laugh at me and walking away…again…I’ve had only one girlfriend in the past, but something didn’t feel right in it, so we seperated…Please give me some advice. btw, nice youtube videos.

Hi V. interesting that you are giving out advice and all, and seem to be a positive person. I am a guy, been dating girls for 20 years (OMG that is long) and here are my 4 key points for girls to guys (and really only the first point is key):

1. Never mention another guy and sex in the same conversation. Note, of course you can mention other guys, eg my ex. . or there is a colleague. . ; and you can talk about sex, eg I like this sex. . , or why do people have that type of sex. .
But simply never mention any other guy and sex in the same conversation, examples are: my ex used to like to do this. . , or there is this French guy at work and you know how French guys are (bad attempt at humour) etc. It amazing how many women don’t seem to know this basic rule. No guy would ever mention any other girl and sex in the same conversation. And what a guy will do if a female makes the above mistake is usually not react, but in his mind something has clicked and he will no longer take the relation seriously.

2. Do not offer sex on the first date, fair enough guys should not pressure for it, but even if you can wait until the second it shows some basic self control,

3. Many guys do not like doggy-style, they want to see the girl, if she wants from behind then it seems like she is not really into you but just wants sex which any guy could give,

4. Not all guys are into oral sex- either receiving or giving- some guys think it is wrong/ gross, so if he declines an offer, or does not offer to perform, then leave it alone,

Good luck

you know my advice is go slow and get to know the person before you have sex. seriously there are some dishonest people in the world and well diseases and its a great way to find out if someone really likes you for you or just wants to get laid.

also you should be a therapist/counselor. such positive energy.
