How confident are you when you give someone relationship advice here?

And do you think they ever follow what you say?How confident are you when you give someone relationship advice here?
Well, since I'm a retired psychotherapist and I spent the last 14 years of my career working with the gay and lesbian community, I feel quite confident about the relationship advice I give here. I know that in SOME cases people will follow through with what I suggest, but I also know that not all do.How confident are you when you give someone relationship advice here?
I actually gave advice to someone that was a little bold and daring. I don't wanna explain it because it's a private thing, but basically I told them to make a move on someone who was hitting on them. My advice worked well, but the relationship didn't go anywhere. The person I gave advice to even messaged me to tell me how things were going! It was cool to know that someone listened to what I had to say and even appreciated it!
I am pretty confident because I have been in messed up relationships, I have been in good relationships. I have been the one who screwed up on them, some of them were the ones who screwed up on me. I have been with men, and I have been with women. And now I am married. So overall, I think I give pretty legit advice relationship wise. That's only from my personal experience that I have been through.


I have friends who have been through stuff too and they took my advice and it had a pretty good outcome...hehehe


so come to me for relationship advice, if you want good advice =)
Haha, it's always easy to give *other* people advice on their relationships, but hard to figure out your own, right?





Sometimes you just need other peoples' perspectives on your situation, whether you end up following their advice or not. I just do the best I can and try to help, but in the end it's up to everyone to figure out their own s**t.
I'm reasonably sure when I talk about two-women relationships, because I've been with a woman for 16 years and counting. We have gone through a lot of challenges, from my depression to an ';open'; phase to cultural differences, and come out tighter-knit and stronger. So I think I have things to say to younger women or women in younger relationships. As a bi woman, I also feel pretty secure about my advice about dating bi people. However, I'm less sure about anything I say to male couples.





I don't know if people listen, but if they do, I hope I help and not hurt.
i have a great relationship that both myself %26amp; my husband have worked on to keep it great. we've been together 10 years now, 5 of those married, and we've been through it all. we're inseparable, the bestest friends (yeah i know bestest isn't correct), so i feel confident when i try to help. everyone that knows us compliments us on how great our relationship is. i have no idea if people follow my advice or not.
If it's something I've been through - and at 47 I've been through a lot - I feel very confident giving advice. I never expect anyone to take it, I just hope that maybe if they read my perspective/experience it may help them decide what to do.
i'm confident in what i say (although at times, some of the questions irk me a lot and that may come out in the answers).





i don't think people really care what we answer for 80 questions out of 100. the other 20 are real questions and some, i think, have taken my advice.
Im extremely confiident when I give advice here. Of course, I only participate if I know what Im talking about. Ive seen it and done it all, and I speak strictly from experience. Whether they follow the advice, who knows?
I never really been in a serious relationship but I try to give good advice and hopefully they like it. If it is too difficult for me to answer then I just skip that one.
i feel pretty confident i ahve to think hard when its about relations caus ei dont want to give the wrong advice, maybe they could take it or leave it its their choice, i did my part for trying to help them =)
Not very,since my own is so ****** up right now.I try my best and hope it comes out that way....i feel like a fraud sometimes when giving advice when i have no idea on how to help myself...
I wish someone give advices honest and truly like the advices I give to others.


That how I am confident about my advices.



Well Butters, I am super confident. I give great advice. As far as people following it, I'd like to think they take a little bit from all of the good answers and make an informed decision on how to deal with their problems.
Dear Butters,


I am somewhat of an Agony Aunt. I try to give good advice but never know how things turn out. I gave advice to a troll once and nearly got deleted so I try to be kind thee days,

Quite confident that they will follow my advice on here but they probably don't


wish i could practice some of my own advice
Even though I've never been in a relationship, I do have a ';sense'; for it. (I shouldn't be speaking without experience). Eh...LOL
No, but I just tell them what I think is right. ( I sound like Hilary Clinton ) hahahaha.
pretty confident but i doubt they do what they should.
no
lol not really. i think i follow some of my advice. [key word]
