Dear Diana,
I have fallen for my sister’s college friend. She often comes home to study with her as they are classmates. I am 19 while my sister is 22. Her friend is 21 years old. My sister is close to her, so I do not know what to do. I am also afraid to tell her as I do not know how she will react. Ever since our mother passed away, she has been mothering me though my sister is only a few years older to me. Most of the time, she is lecturing me about what to do and what not to do. Whenever her pal comes home, I keep coming into her room on some pretext or the other. I’m finding it difficult to let my sister and her friend know what I feel. What do I do? Should I tell her pal first or tell my sister about my feelings?
