How come I can give relationship advice, when I've never been in one?

Don't add up, don't it?Well, I have recently given advice on here to someone who was just about to break up with this guy to get back with her ex. I gave a scenario that somewhat related, that involved me and another girl.And that girl is, you guessed it: Erin.I told her the question given (it's in the title bar), and she just shrugged.She also keeps ignoring and avoiding me.Now, back to the subject at hand. I give advice on here, yet, however, I have never been in one myself! The entire statement contradicts itself!But how is it possible? How can I give advice on a subject, if I've never interacted within the subject field?In this case, what makes me able to give relationship advice?If it helps, I'm thirteen, and she's 12 (I think).

well... i give it advice too, but i don't use it... or i can't follow it. lol. i think it's in our nature to help people, but in the end... when it's our turn, we can't do it. we might just be a little shy... but yeah

Maybe it is because you know what you want in relationship and when you give advice you think of what you would do if it were you. Don't worry you'll make someone a nice boyfriend.
