do u find urself giving people relationship advice, when you’ve never been in a relationship urself?
my friends tend to discuss all their relationships with moi and expect me to pull out great advice from somewhere, knowing that ive never been in a relationship.. is this wrong?
i think its quite halarious and even more funny that they take it.
Imagine if i were an actual counsellor.. i could be sued!! i’d be in jail right now for giving out advice without any proper knowledge sigh hehe

in general life when ppl ask for advices, that doesnt mean they r asking u to explain the whole procedure they shud go thru to solve th prblem...they r asking ya abt ur point of view.....yeah in technical matters ur view point izz valid ....
^ aah i see... but doesnt ur opinion turn out to be advice.. cus i always get that at the end "thanks heaps for the advice soodlez..." and then i have a panic attack
Re: relationship advice
No nothng wrong at all :k:
And what do you do when advice needed is of a sexual nature, do you forward them onto another unmarried auntie or a married auntie?
jazakallah
^ i never said i was asked for that type of advice.. in those cases id refer them to some islamic book
^^ I know you didn’t thats why I asked because you said they tend to discuss all their relationships with you, why not just refer them to an islamic book on all relationship issues :k:
hmm.. i think its just common sense... just cuz uve not been in a relationship, surely uve been around other ppl who have.. u just pick
these thigns up and ofcourse as i said.. rest is all common sense... listen to their problem and try to come up with a solution keeping all those points in mind that they are having problems with .... if ure really are giving twisted advice that maybe totalkly wrong.. they'll find out soon enuff and not come to u again :D
I think its ok to advise, after all you cant tell them to bugger off can u, thats just rude!
sometimes its ok not to have life experiance in a particular area, doesnt mean you have any less of an opinion or are incapable of helping them. In fact, maybe,sometimes its better to ask for help from someone who doesnt know what ur going through, that way you may be able to see both sides.

LOL - I have the same thing. I've never been in a relationship, and all my friends know it, they all tend to come to me and trust my advice more than anyone else's!
That is because according to CM you are a woman or gay.
