Dear Diana,

I'm in a serious relationship. He loves me a lot, but I don't get what I want or desire easily. I always get that after telling him about it. This started about seven months back. He's hurting me over little things. There's this one thing in particular: my first love is back in my life.

When we first met, he had a girlfriend he has been physical with. Two years on, he told me everything about her and their relationship. On hearing he had sex with her, I stopped fantasising about getting back with him. My confusion is: should I go ahead (simply as a friend) forgetting his past and all? And besides, he knew I liked him then but he chose to ignore me and is now saying he loves me. I told him we could only be friends. But somewhere deep down I feel, "Why not... if he's good for me?"

Dear Supriya,

If you just want to be friends with your first love, how does it matter who he has slept with. That should be none of your concern. If you wish to leave your current boyfriend for him, you'll have to convince yourself that it is the right thing to do. Question is: is it? Besides, if he knew you loved him and chose to ignore it anyway, why bother now.

What if someone else (or his ex) come into his life? Will he dump you for them? So I guess you should ask yourself if he is really good for you at all. Also, you are already in a "serious relationship". Why jeopardise what you have for what could be? Simply because your boyfriend doesn't give you what you desire before you ask for it? Is the relationship that banal? And if he is worried about this "first love" making a re-entry into your life, can you really blame him? It isn't a "little" deal, it is a big deal.

I want to change colleges

Dear Diana,

I'm doing my SYBA from a college in Andheri, Mumbai. I want to do my TYBA in psychology. But my college only offers philosophy and sociology. I particularly don't like philosophy. Can you suggest colleges where I can get admission? I'm stressed!



Samira

Dear Samira,

You'll have to check with the administrative office of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Mumbai if you can, in fact, change colleges in while in your second year. You can always ask friends or teachers to suggest preferred colleges. I'm unaware of the colleges that actually offer the subjects in third year.

He'll marry me if I get a million fans on FB

Dear Diana,

My boyfriend's family doesn't really like me but I want to get married to him. They are totally against it. He says if I can get a million fans on my Facebook page he'll marry me anyway. So far I've only managed to get 142. If he really wanted to marry me he wouldn't care what his family thought about me and just marry me anyway! Do you think he's trying to set an impossible goal so that he can wriggle out of this commitment?

Name withheld

Dear Friend,

You really can't be considering this. You don't have to prove anything to him. And besides, no-one will sympathise with you on the social networking site for the simple reason that you marrying your guy features low in their scheme of things.

Chances are even lesser they will become fans of your Facebook page just you can marry your guy. And besides, why does the approval of FB fans matter to him wanting to marry you? If his parents don't consent to him marrying you, it's a personal problem. If they don't like you, it won't change their minds even if a billion "fans" add you. He IS trying to wriggle out of this one!
