Dear Diana,

I am a normal 18 year old. I have a lot of forever friends, have loving parents and also have a huge crush on a guy. I am head over heels in love with him.
I mean I have slept with a guy before (we had protected sex) and I have also practised exhibitionism on the webcam with a guy I don't even know.
But when I get up the next morning and think about it, I feel guilt pangs. Do I need treatment? Do I have some overactive hormone?
I really, really love my crush and can do anything for him. I do not want to lose him or his friendship at any cost.

Dear Friend,
I wouldn't suggest that you're a dormant nyphomaniac but you're definitely showing off the symptoms. For you, it might simply mean meaningless sex, but for everyone you love (if they ever know, that is, it couldu00a0 come as a shock, as they will feels as if they've never known you.
So be safe, be careful and try meeting a counsellor discreetly. Also, if you have a crush on someone and want something more meaningful to materialise, you seriously oughta work on expressing your feelings to this guy before it is too late.
Why's he being this way?
Dear Diana,
My friend is in love with a girl. The problem is: her marriage is due next month with another guy. While my friend is cool about it, the girl has told him that if he doesn't stop the marriage, she'll commit suicide.
I told her not to but she won't listen to me or her friends. She's adamant. I wanna know if my friend loves her or if it's just 'timepass' for him?

Dear Friend,
Firstly, how is it any concern of yours? Secondly, couldn't you just ask your friend why he's being complacent? Thirdly, I think this girl is being too much of a drama queen.
If she doesn't want to marry the guy she's promised to, all she has to do, is tell the guy or call off the marriage.
If your friend does the needful, he will end up looking bad if she ditches him at the last moment. Eloping might sound romantic until reality hits you.
Is she playing me?
Dear Diana,
We met a few weeks earlier in private classes. We're both the same age (17). I wait outside her residence everyday and we leave for classes and college together, even though we're in different colleges.
I like her very much. But a fe days back, she told me her boyfriend doesn't like me standing outside her residence and to talk with her in classes only.
Also, I don't think she has a boyfriend. She has my mobile number but I don't have hers. I'm confused. Should I ask her out for a movie?

Dear Friend,
Why would she lie to you? Unless of course she doesn't want you getting too close for comfort. She realises you enjoy her company, but maybe it's a sign that she wouldn't want to take it any further.
While it is debatable if she's telling the truth; the truth remains that she is left holding all the cards and you may have to play the game according to her rules. for the time being, at least.
