Ask Raymond !
" Hey Ray, how's it going dude..? umm listen, im confused as hell, i made this mistake and went on a date with a younger guy and then he sort of got clingy after that and it creeped me out so i just distanced him but i ddnt exactly break it off.... and then i saw an old acquaintance and well I've liked him before and now we have a date but im not sure im doing the right thing... see the younger guy isnt fit for me and we cld barely see each other cs he lives so far away and the other guy could get serious which is something i avoid plus im obsessed with this guy at school and its complicated.... :/ any advice? PG "
Hey there and sorry for the late reply..
You’re obviously facing a dilemma here : following your hear and dating “new guy” or doing the right thing and staying with the “youngster” … Well, there might be a middle ground for you ! How about … telling your current guy how you really feel about him and the whole relationship you’ve got on BEFORE getting involved in any way with the “new guy” ?
I hope everything went well :)

Hello Raymond, how are you? I was hoping you cud help me with this one. So listen up, I like Lebanon n everything but I just don't belong here.. I have lots of ambitions that I wud like to make come true... But the thing is I wud wuna travel and do other stuff in my life than just staying here and growing up like any other person. My parents won't let me do the things I like, they won't even let me continue my education in the States or something... What can I do to convince them that it is my life, my decisions and mistakes? .. Sincerely, me. "
Hey you,
I'm good and you seem to be confused.
I promise I'll try my best to help you out;
I understand your feelings very well considering how I feel the exact same way....
Anyway, I found out that the trick is to show them that you're responsible and that you're capable of taking care of yourself.... You must also understand that your parents' refusal is most probably because of their incapacity of letting you go....
So, step 1 : Prove yourself to them
step 2 : Apply to the universities you want anyway, because if you do get accepted that will help you convince them of how serious you are about your decision,
step 3 : Get closer to your parents, allow them to get to know you as the mature person that you've grown to be they'll understand you better thus understand your choices.
step 4 : Explain slowly and on various occasions but in different ways why you wouldn't want to stay here, insist on the arguments that involve your professional status.
step 5 : Apply to embassies to get your visa because these things take time and your parents might use the same argument against u.
step 6 : Most importantly you must do all of this on your own, DO NOT ASK YOUR PARENTS FOR HELP AND DO NOT TELL THEM UNTIL THE MOMENT IS RIGHT WHICH DEPENDS ON WHETHER YOU DO GET ACCEPTED IN A FOREIGN UNIVERSITY OR NOT.
Thats basically what I'm trying to do and I hope it'll help you.
Thank you for posting.
Take care, and keep me posted on what happens,
Raymond.

Hello Raymond nice name! Its valentine's day soon nd I am completely dateless. Single nd depressed, theres no guy in my life. Im drowning my sorrow with hot chocolate and marshmallows. I gained 2 kilos. What should I do raymond? help me! please! I dont wanna end up as a cat lady, I don't really like cats. I mean I'm not ugly but I'm not the typical blond bombshell guys are looking for these days. Do you think I should dye my hair? change my look? my attitude? I mean I'm very nice too nice is that the problem maybe? I know I wrote a lot but I'm lost Raymond. Thank yewwwww bye "
Hey there Stranger,
Thanks I bet your name is pretty nice as well!
I'm sorry that you're dateless but it's not the end of the world you know. I mean sure, it's Valentine's day but that doesn't mean that just because you're single or without a love interest that you should doubt yourself or anything like that. I don't understand why is it that girls or even boys notice these silly things around Valentine. I mean it's not like you're obliged to be with someone just for that day. Trust me you will not end up as a cat lady, but you should probably stop eating to satisfy your sadness. Once you stop, you'll realise how overrated this whole holiday is and you'll notice that ,despite the fact that you gained some weight, you're still gorgeous even if you're not blond. You should be happy in your own skin that way other people will be attracted to you because if you reject yourslef everyone else will. DO NOT CHANGE A THING ABOUT YOURSELF!! You are perfect just the way you are, and I may not know what you look like but you seem like a nice,decent,respectful and sensitive girl. And that proves to me that you are beautiful.
However, being too nice to alot of people even some who don't deserve it might be a problem because peoplt will take advantage of your kind soul and that will tear apart one way or another.
It's okey, you have to express yourself, I don't mind reading at all anyway.
You're very welcome my dear.
And I, thank you as well for sharing your problem with me and seeking my advice.
Hope I've helped you in any way...
Good bye.
Raymond.

“Hey Raymond, how are you?
I was just wondering why is your name Raymond? I mean why did u choose the name Raymond for the advice column?
I thought it’s supposed to be a name of someone at school or something but whom, of course, wouldn’t be the same person writing these advices!
Anyhow, have a nice day! And Happy New Year!
Signed,
AY. ”
Hey Andy, I’m good what about you buddy?
Well that’s quite an interesting question you asked! I, however, don’t see why the choice of my name may intrigue you but I’ll answer you of course.
I chose the name Raymond because it means protect (Ray) and wisdom (mund) and that felt suitable for an advice column!
Thanks for asking.
Have a nice day as well. And happy New Year!

Raymond Vous Répond !
" Salut Raymond,
J’aimerais vous demander conseil, car je me sens oppressée et constamment attaquée a l’école ! C’est que tout le monde juge ma garde-robe et mes gestes et mes actions….. On a l’impression qu’on suffoque mais pour ne pas être rejetée on essaie de faire l’impossible de plaire tout le monde sauf soi-même ! J’en ai marre de ça, aide-moi s’il te plait !
Victime. "
Salut victime,
Tout d’abord, je suis désolé que l’école soit ton cauchemar ! Mais des fois c’est notre faute si c’est ainsi !
Regarde, l’opinion des autres ne doit pas être aussi importante pour toi, car elle t’écrase ! Donc, il faut que tu ignores les idées des autres et ne prendre en considération que ce qui te plait et ce qui te réjouis ! Mais n’oublie quand même pas les règles de la société !
J’espère que mon conseil te fera du bien ! N’oublie pas de me raconter comment ça se passera ! Prends soin de toi-même !

" Hey Raymond !
What’s up? I was wondering if you could help me in any possible way, please:
See, my parents take sports very seriously and since my brother entered college with a swimming scholarship, they’ve been pressuring me about basket-ball! I love playing basket-ball but it doesn’t mean that much to me; it’s just a hobby!
I’d love to face my parents and tell them that but I can’t because I’m scared they’ll blame it on my friend, who helped me realize that it was a hobby to me!
Any solution?
Hellboy. "
Hey hellboy,
Nothing much, thanks for asking!
Anyway, listen, your parents are just concerned about your future and you know most colleges are really expensive and sports scholarships make it a lot easier! But if you don’t like sports that much then you should confront your parents no matter who they might blame or what the consequences might be! They’ll get mad at first and you’re bound to argue but in the end they can’t force you because they just want you to be happy and to enter a good college! If you have high grades, they might easily accept your demand!
So good luck! I hope you’ll let me know how it all turns out! Take care!
Raymond.
