Dear Diana,
My girlfriend and I have been together four years now. we plan to marry soon and it would be sooner still were it not that we lose our tempers at each other way too often. I'm usually the one who tries to make it up to her, though I'm not always the one starting the arguments.

I wish we didn't squabble this often. I really do love her and want to be wih her. But I have this nagging fear (and I bet she does too) that it won't work out between us because we're too alike in temperament. I know it sounds absurd but it is true. Will be ever be happy together?

Dear Akhilesh,
In love and war, one side is usually the dominant one and the other the dominated one. Which side you choose to be and what influences that decision is completely up to you.
You seem to love her too much to stay angry with her for too long. I'm sure that she reciprocates those feelings and wants to be with you as much as you want to be with her, but whatever it is (ego, pigheadedness, whatever) it holding her back.
u00a0
You seem the docile one. Decide which side you want to pick and live by it. Keep having those ego clashes and it isn't going to work out.
Will I ever find that guy again?
Dear Diana,
I am 25 and am currently studying for my Master's. I am working with a reputed MNC and am mature enough to not believe in love at first sight but I can't stop thinking about this guy I met yesterday at an ATM at Mumbai's Santa Cruz station.
u00a0
I came out as he was going in. It was raining heavily, so I waited outside. He came out. We looked eye-to-eye... he got on his bike, turned twice and even stopped for a moment, turned again and then took off. I don't know why, but there was something about him that I can't forget.
u00a0
He seems like a decent guy and I know it sounds childish and weird as I know it is near impossible to ever run into him again. Moreover I know nothing about him, not even his name.
I hope he reads this, remembers me and that I could contact him somehow or at least talk to him once. I can't concentrate on work. How do I find him again?

Dear Friend,
I wish I could say it sounds romantic. It doesn't. Obviously, he didn't think an introductionu00a0 was in order. He gave you nothing more than a second glance. Even if he does read this, there's little chance that he will remember you.
A few fleeting stares do not a lasting memory make. It would do you well to let this pass rather than pine after him. If you're meant to find him again, you will. It will happen regardless of external aid. I won't say that you ought to forget him because that's a choice you have to personally make.
u00a0
No one can make that decision for you. Chances are you might run into him again but will the outcome be any different? I doubt so.u00a0 And besides, he should come running you way and not the other way around.
I know love makes you do the strangest things but there are times you have to keep your heart in check and use your head. Give it a time-frame. If he replies to this, in say two weeks' time, you'll get you answer. If not, think it best to move on. Wot say?
