Hello, I recently thought of a business idea which I have been keeping to my self for a few months as I didn’t want to jinx it or whatever, I recently shared the idea with a friend of mine just to see if anyone thought it was a good idea, immediately he started saying how excited he was and how he is ready to put in and how he’ll help start up and market the business etc.. I’m glad he’s so supportive and willing to help but I didn’t tell him with the intending to get him involved I just wanted to see if the idea was good or not. Now he keeps asking me when i’m ready to start and everything and I don’t know what to say as the whole reason I had this idea was because I wanted to have something on my own that was just for me, and if the business is successful i’m going to have to credit and involve him which really was not my intention. Should I just accept the help or how do I break it to him that I kinda wanted to do this on my own.

This is your business idea. There is no such thing as pussy-footing when it comes to business. You have to be direct and communicate your feelings. I understand this is a friend who has the greatest intentions to simply help. But you are allowed to voice how you feel about the situation without there being any hard feelings. In future when telling people ideas, word it carefully to them so they do not get the wrong end of the stick.
Hey oloni I’ve been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 7 years now we have been together since year 11(secondary school times), recently he proposed to me and I said no because I don’t think we are financially stable. But the other day we had a massive argue meant about why I didn’t say no and he slapped me is this an alert that he might lay his hands on me in the future?

It seems like you made the right decision. You should never place your hand on someone else, especially when you’re in a relationship. This is one hell of a red flag and even break up worthy.
me and my ex recently broke up and he suggested if i want we can continue having sex. I really don’t get that.

He wants his cake. Don’t give it to him.
I’m 23 female and I’ve fallen for a 17 year old male. He turns 18 pretty soon . He is mature and you will never be able to tell he is young but I can’t help myself as I fell for him before knowing his age. What should I do I’m scared people will judge me

Unknowingly falling for a minor can be scary. But now you know his real age, it’s your job and responsibility to make sure the relationship ends till he is of a legal age. You can discuss this with him and let him know, but make sure you cut it off before you end up doing something you later regret.
Hi Oloni, just wanted to ask if it’s ridiculous at 23 to give up on relationship prospects of you have no luck in that department? And when I say no luck, to be specific, having never been in a long term relationship. Thanks

It’s very ridiculous. I don’t believe in ever giving up.
