Why do people in relashionships ask me for advice ?

I feel awful for asking this but i have a couple of friends that ask me constantly for relasionship advice. I don't mind giving it but the problem is, i feel like a fraud every time i do because i've never had one myself... Shouldn't they be asking someone with experience in that area ?

They probably just want feedback... they might just need to unload and you are a great listener and they value your opinion...
you can say.. hey I haven't had this personally but here are my thoughts or ideas.
You can have ideas on something even if you haven't experienced it.
It's a compliment that they care what you think and want to hear your ideas
