Dear Diana,
I liked this guy who I met at my office seminar. He works in the Chennai branch of the company. After a week of interactions, he showed interest. We began hanging out and he then told me that he liked me. When he returned to Chennai, he sent me a text message saying that he was engaged. He said he was sorry about what he had done but could not jeopardise his engagement. I replied that it hadn't been anything weird and that we could still be friends. Since then we've spent a lot of time together whenever he is in Mumbai on office work. Now he tells me that things haven't been going well with his girlfriend and that he's just trying to find a way to break up his engagement. I've asked my friends what I should do and they say to stay clear of him as he's either using me as a replacement for his girl or that I can't trust him as he's cheating on her and could do that to me in the future. What should I do?

Dear Friend,
Your friends are right, you cannot trust this guy. First he flirts with you, then he says he is engaged and says he can't be with you. Then he says he is unhappy with his fiancee and wants to break his engagement. My girl, this man is one helluva confused soul! He himself does not know in which direction he wants to go. He is attracted to you and feels he needs you. But does he really love you? As things stand, it looks like you will be blamed for the broken engagement. Can you live with this tag? Think about it. The guy feels he will break off with his fianceeu00a0 and have you immediately for company. You have to take a decision whether you can trust this man. Speak to him and then decide. But I feel you should be wary of this man. Think hard before you commit to him. Best of luck.
I always have to sacrifice
Dear Diana,
No one takes me seriously at home. I am like the doormat which everyone uses. I always have to sacrifice and play second-fiddle to everyone and everything. I am 43 and a mother of two. When will my day come?

Dear Aayna
You alone can make that day come. Stop being the doormat with immediate effect. Be assertive and firm. It will be difficult but you will have to take charge of your life. Why have you got yourself in such a situation? May be you were trying hard to please everyone. There is no need to any longer!
He suddenly called me
Dear Diana,
I am 21 years old. When I was 19, I had this strange encounter with this guy at a hill station. I was holidaying with my family at Ooty. One of the other hotel guests had a son who was 20 then. We youngsters would often sit in the garden in the evenings and chat. On the last day of our holiday, he asked me for my phone number. I did not give it to him. He then persisted and I gave him the landline number. Now after two years, he has called me. I was shocked. Do I take this friendship forward? He stays in Delhi and I am in Mumbai.

Dear Myrah,
This is some blast from the past! When you were least expecting any response, he suddenly surfaces. How much do you know about him? What was his family like? Think of all the interactions you had with him and what sort of a person he was before taking this friendship forward. He stays in another city remember so it will be difficult to do a check on what he is doing now ufffd you will have to believe whatever he says. Just a casual friendship is okay but if he has something else on his mind, avoid for the time being. You are still young so there is no need to rush into a relationship.
