Dear Diana,
I went on a blind date with a guy. It was set up by a mutual friend and it was a double date as she and her guy came along too.
The night was fun, and later that night, he asked for my number. He called me the next day, and we talked for a long time.
He then invited me out that evening but I already had plans. A few days later, he called, and we went for dinner. 
We have seen each other a few times since then with friends and also just the two of us. The last time we met was a month ago at his place.
We spent most of the time making out. He said something about meeting next week but I told him I was leaving for a three-week vacation the next day.
I have not heard from him since that night and he never contacted me when I was gone.

So here is my question: Did I move too fast and scare him off, or is he just not interested? I would just text/call but have to much pride to do that. Please help.
Tarini
Dear Tarini,
He asked for your number. Every time you met was because he called. Obviously he's interested. Maybe he thinks you're not interested because you've never called him.
And didn't tell him you were going away for a three-week vacation until he asked you out. You didn't even contact him once.
Didn't send him a text message or a call before you left or after you returned. Instead of wondering if he met someone while you were away, put an end to your agony by just calling him.
Why are you sittingu00a0 and waiting for him to contact you? Maybe he is waiting for a sign from you. You obviously like him, so do something about it.
And if he has moved on and decided it wasn't working out for him, then you can disconnect and start the process of moving on too.
Mom read my diary... she now knows I hate her
Dear Diana,
I am 19 years old. I don't get along with my mom at all. She nags me all the time and I wrote in my diary that she is quite a pain. She read what I'd written about her and is very hurt. I feel bad. How to fix it?
Doris
Dear Doris,
Keeping the diary is NOT the problem. What is, is that you didn't tell her how you feel.
u00a0
It was wrong of her to read your diary but moms do that out of concern, don't give her hell over that. Talk to her. Tell her you love her but she nags too much. Together, come up with a way to communicate.
How do I list my weaknesses at an interview?
Dear Diana,
I am really nervous. I have a job interview next month. I have done a few of these interviews and I must admit that I don't think I have fared very well.
u00a0
I think despite my good grades and certificates, I don't make a good impression because I come across as uncomfortable at these interviews.
u00a0
The question I dread the most isu00a0 "What are your weaknesses?" Surely, if I tell them "I am always late", etcu00a0they won't touch me with a barge pole! However, I cannot even tell them I have none. What is the best answer?
Niketan
Dear Niketan,
That question is tricky. If they ask you "What you do feel is your weakness?" And if you answer that you have none, then they will either think you are absolutely great or a complete lair.
Most likely the latter. So you can say:u00a0 "I feel I am not always punctual but I've been trying to improve on it by keeping my clock half an hour ahead of time."
That answer will tell them that you can identify your weakness but are making resolutions to address these.
Have confidence in your skills, on why you feel you are the best person for the job, these are the key factors.
u00a0
If you don't get the job, don't despair, try another. Research the company you are applying for and learn their global objectives. Tell them how you can meet these.
