I am 38 years old and a single parent to my 11-year-old son. I got divorced five years ago. My son has been taking tutions and I am attracted to his teacher
Dear Diana,
I am 38 years old and a single parent to my 11-year-old son. I got divorced five years ago. My son has been taking tutions and I am attracted to his teacher. But I am not sure if she is single, although I do know that she is not married. How do I know if she is interested or not in me. She spends hours at home teaching my child, who is also very fond of her. I don't want to do anything stupid. What do you think I should do? Do I drop subtle hints? Or do I just her out for a coffee? I am confused.

Dear Zohair,
You will have to tread with caution as it involves your child. She is the woman you have been interacting with and it is but natural that you fall for her! But handle it very delicately as you need to see how your son accepts her in this new role. For starters, get to know the teacher betteru00a0-- you really need to to know if she is single. Only if she is so do you ask her out if she responds to you. Then only take it to a higher level if your son accepts her in this new role. Also from being a teacher to a mother, may be difficult for both her as well as your kid. Take time and go slow on this.u00a0
He came to meet me in office
Dear Diana,
I fell for this man who charmed me during an office seminar. We got along great and exchanged numbers. We continued to call each other. A few weeks later he came to meet me in office and asked me out. I was over the moon and instantly said yes. Now he is planning a movie outing. I have said yes again. Do you think I should go slow?

Dear BG,
You want him and you are getting him. So why this unwanted worry? Here's your chance to get to know him, his likes and dislikes, his plans for the future. At the moment you are just a friend, take your time before the next step though.
My mother only wants me to study
Dear Diana,
Ever since school has started, my mother has been telling me to study. It's been barely two weeks since the term began, but she has already started nagging me. It irritates me. She says start from the beginning to avoid last minute pressures. How do I explain to her?

Dear Troy,
Your mother is only trying to help you, not nag you. What she is trying to say is that plan, so that during the unit tests and exams you do not have any fears and pressures. Why don't you draw up a timetable with enough time to study as well as to play. She will be happy as well as you!
