Dear Diana,
A couple of years ago, I had a friend who I became close to and ended up having feelings for him, but we eventually lost contact. He carried on with his life and I met someone else who I am currently in a relationship with. Recently, I bumped into this friend again and it feels like nothing has changed. He admits that he, too, has feelings for me. What should I do?

Dear Ira,
What made you and him not reveal your feelings for each other when you were together? May be you were unsure or shy. Whatever the reason, now you have got an opportunity to be together again. Now that you are sure about your feelings, do not let the opportunity get out of your hands. At the same time, be sure who you want to be with. You will also have to tell your present guy the truth. The faster you tell him the better so that he moves on too. Hopefully he is mature enough to handle it.
