Dear Love Coach,

I really need some advice. I went to my mate's 21st birthday last week, which was of course a real piss-up, and his mum dragged me into the kitchen and snogged me. I let her do it as she isn't bad looking for her age and I was drunk. But now I am too embarrassed to go round there again in case she's home, let alone see my friend. He now thinks I'm avoiding him. I really don't know to do.

Dear Arthur,

Oh dear honey, what a situation! This happens a lot, so don't feel you are alone in this. Older women are often attracted to younger men, and their son's friends are no exception.

The question you have to ask yourself is do you actually like her? I sensed that you might be interested in her, but are too afraid to admit it.

If you like her, then avoiding her isn't going to help. Either way, you need to confront her about what happened and clear the air, one way or the other. And if there is something worth pursuing then you are going to have to tell your friend.

There's nothing like a bit of mature pussy to keep a young man on his toes. Good luck!
