Dear Coz


Think hard
Dear Coz,
I'm 22. Three years ago I met this gorgeous guy who came to the store that I worked for. He was asking about me from my co-workers. Since he wanted some upgrades to the products, it was my duty to call him. Anyway he ended up by asking me to call him whenever I wanted. So I did and he invited me for his sister's birthday. I was not ready to go out with him since I hardly knew him. After a few more calls he again asked me to go out with him for tea. I told him that although I would really like to, I wanted to first get to know him over the phone. I wanted to take things slow, as my feelings for him were genuine. Next time when I called him he was very rude and cut me short. I never called him again and he never called me. I no longer work for that company but I still think of him and care for him. Shall I approach him again? Only my sister and friends know of this. They tell me to forget him but I can't. Please help.

Dear White Shirt MW,
I'm sorry but in this instance I believe your friends are right. You gave him a great opening by saying you should get to know each other before going out. If he truly loved you, he would have jumped at the chance. He knew where you worked and he could easily have contacted you. Looks like he was just looking for a good time. Is that the kind of guy you want? I can't make up your mind for you. It's up to you to decide whether you want him in your life or not. Contact him if you wish but all he would want is to go out with you. However, infatuated you are, I wouldn't advise you to do that. You know next to nothing of him. Think long and hard. He may be all charm but don't let him take you for a ride.

Improve good qualities
Dear Coz,
I'm a 12-year-old boy who is the vice captain of my class cricket team. I'm jealous of my friend because he's been the captain of the team for a long time. I feel he's my enemy. When I'm playing, I try to hurt him. Tell me how I can get rid of this cruel idea.

Sachin T
Dear Sachin T,
Look on the bright side. You're in the team and you're the vice captain. You've got a whole heap of team mates who'd love to be in your shoes. You wouldn't go very far if they all tried to hurt you simply to get your position. Your friend may be the captain because he's a team player, has talent and leadership skills. Try to improve your skills instead of resenting his position. You play as a team and your victory is not an individual effort. Where are your priorities? To bring glory to the school or yourself? If you don't learn the importance of team spirit, you'll never go far. There is still time for you to improve yourself. Try helping younger players. By teaching them you'll develop your own techniques, leadership skills and learn to be unselfish. It won't be long before people notice that you're a gentleman as well as a cricketer. Remember it's not whether you win or lose but how you play the game.

Sort out your feelings
Dear Coz,
I'm a boy of 16, studying for my A/Ls at a leading school in Kotte. I had an affair with a girl in my school. But we never understood each other. After that, I fell in love with another girl in her class. I asked her what she thought of me and she told me she would think about it. Then my first girlfriend told my friend that she really loves me and she cannot think of anyone else. I still love her and she's always on my mind. I can even see her in my dreams. So please tell me what I should do.
M.A.R

Dear M.A.R,
Well, first of all you must figure out whom you're really dreaming of. You've just said you've fallen in love with another girl and asked her out. Did you do all that while you were dreaming about your first girlfriend? Why are you trying to play with another girl's heart when you're still in love with your former girl? What the two of you need to do is to have a really good heart-to-heart chat and sort out your misunderstandings. Next time you get the inclination to ask another girl out, find out whether you're merely following an illusion or whether it's the real thing. Yours is not the only heart that feels love, hurt and pain.

Find out for yourself
Dear Coz,
I'm a 17-year-old boy from Kandy. I'm faced with a big problem. I saw the girl of my dreams speaking to a boy. I think he is her boyfriend but I don't want to believe it. I feel really sad and I can hardly eat anything. How can I forget her when she has already stolen my heart? Please tell me what to do?
Sad face

Dear Sad face,
Stop wallowing in self-pity. Don't assume things, find out for yourself. Make some discreet inquiries to verify whether he is really her boyfriend. If he isn't, you still have a chance. If he is, it's tough luck but it's not the end of the world. It'll hurt at first but there are plenty of fish in the sea. The stolen heart, given time and chance will come back to you. Let go of the past and look forward to the new. It's all a matter of letting go.
