Dear Diana,
I met this girl at my cousin’s wedding ceremony recently. All the youngsters were hanging out together and she was part of the group. She is related to my cousin’s hubby. We had great fun during the sangeet ceremony. I find her to be a nice, pretty girl and have developed a crush on. While a part of me would like to ask her out so that I might be able to get to know her better, another part of me is reluctant to do so. As my cousin is newly married, I don’t want it to get uncomfortable for her. The girl is from her in-laws side, so I really do not know how they will react. How do I get to know her? Are my misgivings justified? I wish I had asked her for her mobile number. When she was around, I would get so tongue-tied. I really think she is the girl for me.
