'The guy I love has found someone else!'

Dear Diana, I am 24 and there's a guy in our office who I like a lot. We started off as friends because I didn't want to rush into things but now it seems like I was mistaken.

He recently found himself a girlfriend and I was devastated to know about it. He's such a lovely person that I can't imagine him being taken away from me right under my nose! But that's exactly what has happened thanks to my take-it-easy policy. I should have expressed my affections to him earlier and now I'm left cursing myself. What should I do?

Dear Sakshi,u00a0
You ruined your relationship and now are crying over spilt milk. If you really loved him, why did you not drop hints? Now that he has found someone else, you can't bear the sight. But my dear girl now you need to get the hint. He was not interested in you, no wonder he has found someone. You have to get over him and next time remember there is no point being morose for something you never did or didn't even try for.u00a0

Diana will solve it!
