Two close for my comfort, whom do I choose?

Dear Diana,
There are two guys. I like this guy called Manish but I am having a hard time trusting him. Not that he lies a lot it's just that I just don't buy his stories.
u00a0
I like him and he says he likes me too much but I told him that I just came out of a serious relation so I don't want to get into a relationship right away. He agreed to wait. He is real sweet but the problem is thatu00a0 I like him.

I don't love him, but he says he loves me. So is it fair to stick to him? Then there is this second guy who was my old friend.

We met recently and we just hit it off. He is way attractive and he flirts a lot with me. He says he has never met some one like me, and all but I am not even sure if he is joking or serious. But he says he likes me. Whom should I choose? Please help




Ms Confused

Dear Ms Confused,

If you don't love a guy, don't be with him. Period. And to top it off, if you can't trust him you shouldn't be with him either. So that eliminates Guy 1. As for the second guy? Well, he's there, you can trust him, he's your age. Sounds like the better bet to me :). Choose Guy 2.

Guy 1 isn't really an option. But be very sure that he is actually serious about you and not just kidding around. If you are unsure wait and see how it develops. No reason to rush into anything. You seem to have known the second guy for longer, it might not be a bad idea to ask him if he is looking for a serious relationship, friendship or just a fling. Don't put your heart on the line till you are sure.

Brac(e)ing for a kiss!!

Dear Diana,

My boyfriend and I had our first kiss last year, when I had braces. We didn't have a problem. Now he's got braces with rubber bands on them, which I didn't have. We haven't kissed after he got them. If we kiss, will the rubber bands hurt us?


Priyali
Dear Priyali,

I didn't ever wear braces, but I know that it didn't stop any of my friends who had them. And some of them did have the ones with the rubberband kind. I cross-checked with one for you and he confirms that it was no different at all. So you and your boyfriend don't have to be worried about hurting each other.

Kids or degree? I am confused!

Dear Diana,

I was just looking for some advice. I am thinking about going back to university to do a course that I have been really keen on for the last couple of years, and I have also been given a place. However, my big problem is that it's a six year course.
u00a0
I am 29, and this means I would be 35 when I graduated, and therefore when I started thinking about having children. My fiance and I are worried that this is a bit late to start trying for a family.
u00a0
I am worried about leaving things too late, but I really want to go back to university and get this qualification. I'm not sure it's possible to combine the two. Any ideas?


Shaina
Dear Shaina,

Going back to your studies is the best thing you can do. It will benefit you and your job opportunites, also your future. As long as your fiance is supportive, I would highly recommend education and you will be able to provide better for your children when they arrive.

If you are worried about not being able to start a family later, speak to a gynecologist and explore the option of freezing your eggs.
u00a0
You and your guy need to sit down and think this through and talk about how this will affect the two of you. Also your finances, and how this will affect your lifestyle. I wish you all the luck in the world and hope you decided to do what's best for you and your family
