1. I'm going out with a really nice guy. He says he loves me, and he even wants to get married. The problem is I don't love him. I'm in love with his best friend and it's driving me crazy. I dream about him all the time and often cry myself to sleep. I've tried to find out how he feels, but he's in a difficult position too. My friends say I should stop seeing my boyfriend. But, if I can't have the boy I love, surely he is the next best thing?
Julia. 19
2. I’ve got a great girlfriend and we've been together for about six moths. It's all been quite serious but now I’m not so sure. You see, I saw my ex-girlfriend again at a party last Saturday and I think she feels we made a big mistake and that she really wants us to start going out together again. I think I feel the same. What do I do? How do I tell my present girlfriend that I think we should break up?
Barry, 21
3. My best friend and his girlfriend have been together for some time, but she keeps flirting with me and I don't know if he realizes or not. Should I tell him? I don't really fancy her, but I really like his ex-girlfriend. Do you think he would mind if I asked her out? He's an old friend and I don't want to upset him.
Tony. 21
4. I met an old boyfriend the other day and we agreed we wanted to stay friends, although I don't want to go out with him again. We'd like to have a drink together one evening. Should we tell his present girlfriend or is it better that she doesn't know? After all, it will be completely innocent.

5. I have known the girl next door for a long time. She's going out with someone who is well-known for fancying everyone in sight. The trouble is, she doesn't realize this. I happen to think he's seeing someone else, and I don't know whether to tell her or not. It's made more complicated by the fact that after all the years as childhood friends, I think I'm falling in love with her. What should I do? Should I tell her how I feel?
