Dear Love Guru
Offline college has started and, in the very first week, I have really, really liked this boy.
I am not a frivolous kind of person and I never thought something like this would happen to me college.
We don’t know each other really, we are just classmates. It’s all very awkward for me and my friends can see I like him and they tease me. It will be worse if he comes to know.
I cannot discuss this with my family, I don’t want advice from my friends who are my age.
Can you tell me what I should do now?
Confused
It’s just a college crush, my dear…nothing to get so uptight about. It’s normal at your age.
You can tell your friends you don’t want him to know, but so what if he does? Maybe he likes you too or will ask you out?
There’s really no set course to follow in these matters. Just enjoy your college days and years!
Dear Love Guru
This is not exactly a love problem but kind of related.
My ex and my good friend are engaged and it’s left me feeling very awkward.
It’s uncomfortable to see her with him.
I don’t want to give up the group or them because we are all very good friends.
Everyone’s struggling to adapt to the new dynamics and I’m feeling bad.
How do I handle this?
The way you’re feeling is perfectly natural and this situation is more common than you think.
I know of someone who has been in the exact same position as you and he was the bigger person back then.
Today, things are so normal between him and the couple; they’re still good friends and laugh about what was a few years ago.
My point is, what you want to achieve -- a new normal -- is very possible.
Since you’re all within the same group, I’d suggest riding things out. You make an effort to normalise things and they will do the same. The new dynamic will become the norm in time, you’ll see.
Let time take away your discomfort. It will.
