I’VE been going out with my new girlfriend for just over a month, but I’m beginning to wonder if she’s a bit strange.

I didn’t really want to jump into a serious relationship, but after I had sex with her she decided we were an item.

Now she turns up at my place every night after work and I can’t get rid of her. She talks to my mates like she’s known them all her life and she calls my parents Mum and Dad.

She’s overly familiar and has started buying me saucy presents like a pair of padded handcuffs, a large vibrator and a whip.

She loves to say that every relationship needs an injection of excitement. I agree, but after five years – not five weeks!

Now she’s talking about moving in. She’s insisting on redecorating my flat, chucking out my vintage football programmes and giving me a makeover.

She’s suffocating me and I’m scared.

I have never met any of her friends or family and she never mentions her past. What should I do? JANE SAYS: You need to slow things down. This woman has attached herself to you like a limpet, yet you know nothing about her.

She’s acting like you’re an old married couple, yet you’ve only been together for a very short while.

She thinks you want to be with her as much as she wants to be with you, because you haven’t said otherwise. Make it clear that moving in and reorganising your life is not going to happen at least for a while until you know each other better.

It sounds as if she’s got something to hide and the way she’s behaving is far too intense. Whatever happens, do not allow yourself to be browbeaten into submission.
