My best friend and I have been going out (dating) of late. We've always liked each other a lot...
We're distant... not from our feelings, though
Dear Diana,
My best friend and I have been going out (dating) of late. We've always liked each other a lot. We've been best friends forever. We got into engineering colleges him in Pune and me in Mumbai. We didn't want to seem like a burden or an unnecessary stress to the other and since most long-distance relationships don't work, we broke up. We're still in touch and know everything about each other, though. We still love eash other (I think). Honestly, I'm not over him, to tell you the truth. And as far as I know him, he was far more serious about me than I was of him. Somehow we can't speak to each other about this matter but are aware of our feelings for each other. Should we wait a year to figure out what our feelings for each other are? And then maybe, try again?

Dear Friend,
There comes a certain intimacy when you are in love with your best friend (and likewise). That said, I think the two of you are going about this 'break-up' without really giving youru00a0 'relationship' a chance. It's not fair to either of you, if the two of you are that close. But maybe a trial separation might just work if only to figure out how strong your feelings for each other are. Otherwise, Mumbai and Pune are not that distant telephonically or geographically. If you can't meet up, there's no excuse for not keeping in touch, with several options at your disposal. If you feel the need to test your love, that's a call you'll have to make personally. Don't push the patience of the one you love, just because you're not sure. Give your love a chance.
How much do we vary?
Dear Diana,
Is it possible that each person has the same amount of interest in sex or does it vary? In pretty much the same way as theu00a0 sexual capacity varies from person to person? I'm curious...

Dear Friend,
An interest in sex varies from person to person. No two people are alike in any way. You might enjoy discussions, jokes, practising sex a lot while others might be comfortable being that open-minded up to a certain limit, not more...
Mom caught me masturbating...
Dear Diana,
I've been masturbating since I was 16. I am 18 now. I used to masturbate on alternate days but now, I think that my mom watched me doing it for the second time. How should I deal with the situation?

Dear Friend,
It's a completely natural phase to masturbate when you wish to ease sexual tension. Ideally, you should've not, especially when someone else was in the house (unless you intended them to catch you in the act). Or you should have at least bolted the door for privacy. I imagine it might be a big shock for parents here to catch their wards masturbating and therefore a traumatic experience for both to come to terms with and deal with the awkwardness. If you don't want to talk about it with her, don't. If you think you should and if she should get agitated, tell her that you will be more careful the next time (yes, there will be one and you know it) and that it's no perversion or crime to do so. To give you a break.
