Moving too fast!
Dear Charlie, I have been seeing a guy from work and it has all become too much too soon. He is really keen, but I just don’t feel as strongly as he seems to. I can’t bring myself to tell him how I feel. What should I do? Amy, 19
Dear Amy, Perhaps he is acting this way because he thinks you want the same thing? You seem unsure, so maybe getting to know him better would result in a more informed decision. If you decide against this, and can’t bring yourself to tell him, maybe the mention of an ex-boyfriend would discourage him. Cruel to be kind...
I have Fresher’s ‘blu’
Dear Charlie, I’m a Fresher and while I should be having the time of my life, I’m so depressed. My flat mates are really anti-social; they hardly speak, don’t go out and are clearly not interested in me! Now Freshers’ Week is over, I feel I have missed my chance to meet new people outside of my flat. I feel like leaving and going home. Is this normal? Anna, 18
Dear Anna, Unfortunately, many people experience these problems when starting Uni. I would strongly advise you to hold out before making any rash decisions. Remember, you will be meeting and making lots of new friends from your course, but also joining societies and groups will open many doors to new people. Be optimistic about your options! Good luck!
Am I unsightly?
Dear Charlie, I have always been pretty happy with my body, until I started Uni. Whenever I go out, my friends always pull, and I am left on the sidelines. I feel fat and repulsive, and often end up going home early. How can I change the way I am and appear more attractive? Laura, 20
Dear Laura, These feelings seem to spark from the fact that your friends tend to drop you in favour of an easy pull. Instead of feeling you need to change, the main issue that needs to be tackled in my mind is your friend’s consideration and loyalty to you. However, if you were to change anything about yourself, exert more confidence and be secure in yourself!
