Questions Answered

(In date order)

How do I know if my boyfriend loves me when he hasn't got me anything for Valentines Day 2 years in a row?

Does he tell you he loves you? If he does he’s either really bad at buying gifts or very forgetful. Buy a massive calendar, circle the date. Mention your love for chocolates/flowers/jewellery.


I like this boy, but I don't know whether he likes me or not. He goes to the same school as me so I don't know whether I should put my gift in his locker or send it to him by post. Please reply, thanks. Hannah.

Unless you’ve got the combination, putting it in his locker is not going to work unless you’re leading a secret double life as a master criminal. Or a locksmith. But school is definitely better than sending it to his home (or how will you know if he likes it?).


It's her birthday on Valentines and I want to give her a special one to her. She's been very stressed lately and our relationship had a slight scratch in between too...please advise the best gift I can get her this Valentines. Thanx.

Get her a birthday gift as well as a Valentine’s one, or she’ll feel like the poor kid born at Christmas. Chocolate is always a winner.


She's funny, witty, sophisticated... What does she want? Apart from a strapping young man like myself of course!

I have some bad news for you: what she really wants is diamonds. But if that’s not in your price range, try some gold (and cook her dinner).


My boyfriend (38) is not a romantic, but I am I would like to get him a gift he really likes for Valentines, any ideas?

Unromantic? Sounds like he needs warming up.


Me and my boyfriend are both in a screamo/rock band and I don't know what to get him.

Maybe some fans would do the trick. Not real ones, mind - that would be too hard; I’m not a miracle worker. How about the uber cool, Tengu? He’s just come out in black and will sing along to your screamo, no matter how hard you rock out.


How do you make a girl kiss you without you knowing?

Like a piece of Halibut you need to lure her in. But if you are as ugly as sin, you’ll have no chance unless you can get her to leave logic completely behind. This cologne should do the trick. It’s out of this galaxy.


Hi my girlfriend says she likes parties but when I took her to one she wasn't very excited. What can I do to bring out her inner party that's under £10?

It seems to me as if her problem lies within her core. With this innovative gadget she’ll be getting down in no time, and what’s more you’ll be helping her along nicely to achieving her 5 fruit & veg a day. Pip Pip!


Hi, when I'm older how do I get my girlfriend to wear the Naughty Knot and not seem like a bit of a loser?

Hide all of her clothes when she’s not looking / in the shower/ making you a corned beef sandwich. Upon her return, act as equally flabbergasted as she, and then come to her rescue like the knight in shining armour that you are with the red ribbon. She will love you forever and may even have your babies.


Do I love Sabina?

The question is, do you love yourself? Only then will you be capable of loving anyone else. In the immortal words of M People, “You have to search for the hero inside yourself.”


My boyfriend is an Aston Villa fan and he loves fashion and likes to have fun as well as liking the finer things in life. What do you suggest I get him for valentines?

An Aston Villa fan, you say? Maybe he should man up and support a real team. But if that’s asking too much, either this brilliant ball or these stylish silver cufflinks should do the trick.


What do I get my girl who has everything?

The answer is in the question. She wants for nothing. Anything else would just be duplication.


What pressie can I get my man, he's 53.

53. Tricky. If he’s a young at heart & a sprightly 53 then why not get him tearing around in a super car. Or alternatively if he’s starting to lose his marbles and can’t find the keys to his own car, then help him keep track of them with this.


What can I get my husband who loves kites, surfing, computers, music and skiing?

What a man of eclectic tastes! For an outdoorsman such as he, I think he’s going to need something to keep warm after such lengthy physical exertion. Get him one of these and you can join him under the covers!


OK so I'm 15 and there's this girl in my form that I really fancy but I don't think she likes me the same way back I really want to ask her out but I'm too shy and scared of rejection. Is there any tips or help you can give me?

Young love is tough. The gut churning freshness of it all. Brings a tear to the eye. You’ve got all the time in the world though, so I’d say just play it cool. Get her a Tao Digital Photo Keychain and make sure you get in some group shots with her, then she always has a reminder of you close!!


Dear Dr. Love, My boyfriend keeps wearing my lacy underwear! He says it feels softer than his briefs...What can you prescribe to stop him from doing this?

You need to buy him one of these. More softer than lace, more comfortable than underwear. In my opinion.


Doctor, help! I have a total geek for a boyfriend, but this year we have a stipulation: a £5!!! He's a total computer geek and also happens to be a electronic repair person! Please help!

You mention in your question that your boyfriend is a geek twice. This worries me, you don't seem happy. Perhaps you'd be better off with a nice Doctor? Looks like there are cracks in this relationship. He'd be best off with a key to unlock your heart and make things a bit brighter for the pair of you. If things don't progress, change the locks!


Hi, what to get for a old fashioned traditional girl who longs to return to the late 19th - early mid 20th century?

Hmm... maybe she can be tempted to re-create a classic Victorian tea party with the use of this Cupcake Kit. Mmm...


My girlfriend is into her music and likes going to rock festivals what would be a perfect gift for valentines day?

If you want to be the ultimate boyfriend, then I suggest this piece of kit.


What can I get my husband who has everything?

Are you sure he has one of these?


What gift could I get my man who is in the army and loves rugby?

Having strong thumbs is always handy for rugby and army lads... he can show off his strength with this game!


Loves Music, Guitars, Metal, Rock but a romantic at heart

Always send flowers if you want to be romantic... and these definitely rock!


Dear Doctor, did you know that at first glance you look like Frankie Boyle with glasses on? Anyway, what can I buy my hubby for Valentines, we've been married a year in May and he loves football, computers, food and me of course!!

Yes I often crack a funny at work! Right, well why not treat him to these. This will tempt him to wine and dine you in his best shirt in May!


Why won't my potato eat my cereal?

I'm gonna refer you to a Nutritionist.


Help. No one will ever match up to my first love, Craig David. How do I get my bo selecta back?

It very much depends on whether he wants you back. Sometimes I think the same thoughts about Dr. Peter Venkman. But atleast you have this.


1110101001, 1010011100101000100111100100001001 10100100111010101001. Get that? Well, neither does my girlfriend. What gift can I get her to bring out her inner technofile? 1101

Dear Robot, if she isn't a technofile by the time she's examined the 640x480 VGA close ups of your inner circuits, you could try prescribing something cuter instead.


I need to get a present for a small squirrel this year. Can you help?

Say it with a dose of nuts - if he bolts, it may be love.


Dr Love, how many Love Heart Sky Lanterns are enough to say "I miss you with all of my heart- why have you planted such tall conifers?"?

Two hearts are better than one, but you can never have too many - I know of another 'Doctor' with two hearts, and the common earth worm has five!


I am nervous when it comes to girls. How do I ask a girl out without fainting or excessively sweating?

Simply apply a handful of this potent cologne to your body prior to contact with females. 60% of the time, it works every time!


Dr Love, Last year my boyfriend got me a bunch of half dead roses from the garage, wrapped in a plastic bag. Bearing this in mind, should I get him a gift this year?

Your revenge reflex might make you feel the need to be a bit nasty, but beware of undesired side-effects! I recommend getting a gift you can share to prevent a prolonged bout of bitterness if his behavior is recurring.


Dr Love. My wife is as portly as they come, don't laugh. She enjoys both Belgian chocolate & takeaway pizza in abundance and will lash out if not satiated. Which should I plump for this Valentines?

Obesity is a growing problem, but as Freddie said, 'Fat bottomed girls, they make the rockin' world go round'. Make her rounder with this pizza.


My Husband works away on an oil rig and I am secretly having an affair with his transport helicopter pilot. This year my hubby is coming home on Valentine's Day... Do I buy both of them a gift? What can I buy my hubby to make up for all the guilt I am feeling? Please help!

Wow what a player. I imagine he must get very lonely all alone on that oil rig. But that's why the internet was invented. There's only one gift for naughty people.


What's the colour of love?

Depends what sort of love you're talking about.


Hi Doctor Love, I'm perfect. But how can I convince my girlfriend of the fact? She doesn't understand. Is there anything I could wear or eat to remind her?

Funny you should ask this. I had exactly the same problem until I was certified. Not too sure what you could eat to become perfect except for humble pie now and again. In the meantime wear a badge.


Doctor Love, My partner loves my giant cupcakes. What can I buy so that he can chow down on them in my absence this Valentines Day?

Relationships work when you share the chores. Women have fought long and hard for girl power. How about telling him the recipe and getting him to make his own. On your return I'm sure you'll want a little nibble.


What do you have for lunch?

Lovehearts of course


How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Schimples. This much.


Last year my boyfriend and I decided to see a romantic movie for Valentine's Day, but when we got there, the cinema was closed and we spent the evening watching Idol. The year before, we went out for dinner, but I got food poisoning and spent the rest of the evening in the restaurant bathroom throwing up. I was so embarrassed, we didn't even tell the staff, so we still had to pay for it. What's the most risk-free romantic thing we can do this Valentine's?

I feel your pain, I feel your shame, but you're not to blame. You've hit an all time low, how could it get any worse? The sky is the limit with this gift.


Dear Dr. Love, My boyfriend says he doesn't believe in Valentine's Day. What do I do? I want to share this special day with him!

You must make him believe. He sounds boring. What you doing tonight?


Dear Doc t'Love, Please help. There's a gorgeous gal at my local pet shop whom I'm too scared to ask out. How can I woo her with a gift this Valentines? PS I'm not a large man.

Why not woo her subtly by placing one of these on one of the dogs in her shop. That way you can always find the right moment to ask her her true feelings. Good luck!


My partner likes to spank me with their iPhone. What present says "I love you, but dont do that"?

Why are you telling your partner not to do it? If you loved them enough you would accept they enjoy doing it. Buy this to make things easier on yourself.


Is it true that 'if you like it you should put a ring on it'?

If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it. Don't be mad once you see that he want it.


In the immortal words of Cat Stevens, is the first cut really the deepest?

I like to call them incisions, and if pressure is applied, yes!


What should I get my partner for valentine's day?

For him: Sex Panther
For her: The Slanket

If you give me more information I can prescribe the right gift.


Dear Dr. Love, do you have a PHD?

No but I do have a USB


I don't believe you're a real doctor. Where did you study?

It's normal to be so pessimistic of a Love Doctor. I was taught by Dr Ruth in Florida for 5 years then I came to the UK to work with Lauren Harries.


Hi Dr. Love... my boyfriend loves pengiuns... but if I get him another pingu toy he might flip! Please can you help me?

Its sounds like he could be a collectamaniac. Did he have a bad incident with a penguin as a child? i think buying him another penguin isn't going to solve your problems. On the 'flip' side, go nuts.


Dear Dr. Love. My boyfriend does a 'booty dance' for his mates at work, but refuses to show me. Please advise.

Simple. Ask them what song he dances to. Perhaps you just haven't found the right track to let him express his manliness yet.

Try 'Freakum Dress' by Beyonce. Come back in a week if you can't find the download.


Have you ever met the original Mr Luva, Luva?

I met him at a conference in Dubai 2 years ago. Not sure if he's still practising. His wife Mrs Luva Luva made great cookies.


My girlfriend strangles me in her sleep, what can I do?

Love hurts. Wear high collars.


Doctor, doctor, I think I'm a pair of curtains!

Looking for the right pulling techniques?


What one thing are you exceptionally good at?

I am the love Doctor. If you are worried about what to get that certain someone then I can prescribe the right gift for you.

Though unlike most Doctors, I don't believe in private and confidential.


Who's the most famous person you've met?

Dr Ruth
