Dear Diana,
I am 24 and work in a beauty salon. I like a guy who stays in my society. He doesn't seem to acknowledge my feelings for him. I asked him what really is going on between us, to which he replied, “We are friends”. All this while, I thought we were more than that. I just want him to give up on his inhibitions and accept me as his girlfriend as I want him to be my boyfriend.

Dear Vinodini,
You may be hellbent on making him your boyfriend, but it appears that he does not have feelings for you. Just because he talks to you does not make him your boyfriend. Perhaps there is already someone else on the scene. Why don't you ask him if there is someone else in his life? He has already told you that he considers you a mere friend, so it is pretty obvious. The faster you realise the truth, the better it will be for you. You may pine for him, but it is only you in the relationship.
