'My girlfriend is extremely evasive'

I have been more forthcoming from Day One, while she is way too evasive. I don't know why she behaves like this. She tells me this is her first time with a guy and that it is because she studied in an all-girls boarding school. I am 25 and she is 24.

Dear Shyam,
Your girl is one confused soul. She wants you but at the same time she wants to play safe. She may be playing hard to get but that happens only in the initial stages of wooing. Now that you'll are going steady, it is strange that she is behaving in this manner. It looks like there is only you in the relationship. Your girl does not know what she wants right now. So let her clear her muddled mind and figure out what she needs. If you want to wait for her, hang on till she decides. If she is still evasive, then you need to take a call about the relationship.

Diana will solve it!
