Dear Diana,
From the moment I met my friend’s father, I have been attracted to him. Recently, when my pal and her family dropped by our house, I got anxious as well as jealous as I could not talk to him for long. Since then, I have had many thoughts and fantasies about him. I just can’t get him out of my head. During the summer vacation, I have been invited to their country house for a few days. It will be really difficult to live with him and be around him. I want to get intimate with him. How do I make these thoughts go away? At the same time, I don’t want anything to go wrong between my friend and me, because she means a lot to me and we have been buddies for long. Her father used to work in Oman for decades and is now back in Mumbai. I find him polished and suave. What do I do? I am 19 while he is in his late 40s.
