Dear Diana,
I’m fond of a girl. She is in my college and we’ve known each other since the first year. We are on hi and bye terms. Recently I asked her to accept an ice cream treat on my birthday. She was taken aback and did not reply. Later, when I asked her again, she refused. Ever since she keeps staring at me, especially during computer class. I stare at her too. I do not know what is going on. She just refuses to talk to me after the incident. I spent my birthday thinking what I did wrong.
