Dear Diana,

I became good friends with this girl four years ago, when she and I happened to join the same company. In the years since then, we moved to different jobs but always kept in touch.

She would tell me about this guy she was seeing, the trepidation in telling their parents about each other and a whole lot of other things. Finally, her wedding was fixed to the guy she loved. We both rejoiced and discussed the details of the wedding, the venue, the shopping and such. When she finally sent me the invite, it was only to the wedding reception, not to the wedding.
I was really hurt. I've always maintained that the bride and groom should invite whom they want to the wedding, but when it came to me, I felt betrayed. I am trying hard to accept my own philosophy, but sometimes I feel that if she doesn't consider me a close enough friend to attend her wedding, why should I go for the reception? Am I being petty?

Dear Lata,
Maybe not petty, but you are being silly. You can't let something like this make you reassess your friendship with her. Maybe it was not in her hands. These things are usually decided by families on both sides. How many guests at the wedding/reception etc. Maybe they wanted to keep it just to family, which more and more people are inclined to, these days. Or maybe it was just a slip-up. If you think it is, just casually mention tou00a0 her that you will see her at her reception.
If she asks you why not the wedding, then you know that it was deliberate. Either way, don't give it too much importance. You sound really hurt, so instead of keeping this to yourself, maybe someday at a later stage, you could tell your friend this. It would be wrong to tell her now and spoil her big day. You don't want her turning into Bridezilla.u00a0u00a0
Is there any gel I can use to give my woman orgasmic pleasure? How does it work?
Yes, you can use Durex Play O on your woman, it is meantu00a0 to give her increased orgasmic pleasure. You can start by gently massaging Durex Play O on her private part, which is the most sensitive part of her body as it has more than 8000 nerve endings.
Play O when applied on the spot causes one to experience an orgasmic rush of heightened sensations either straight away or within a couple of minutes; the sensations last anywhere between five and 20 minutes.
Meat makes me puke!
Dear Diana,
I've recently joined a new company. My colleagues are very nice and they invite me to join them for lunch every day. Their food is always non-vegetarian. I am a strict vegetarian and they are aware of it so they don't make me eat their food. But what I am unable to tell them is that I can't stand the sight or smell of what they eat -- chicken, fish and lamb.
Everyday, I find it very difficult to swallow my food because of what I see in front of me. I've tried to overcome my aversion for the past six months this has been going on, but in vain. If I don't go with them, it will strain relations. What do I do?

Dear Neena,
You've been going through this for six months!u00a0 You didn't have to. Most people who eat non-veg food are sensitive to people who don't. All you had to do was tell them that you didn't enjoy eating your meals with meat on the table. You don't have to tell them you hate the sight and the smell of it. If you can't tell them, then change your meal time.
Or slowly stop eating with them. Eat a sandwich or a fruit at your table. Tell them it is a diet thing, or that your doctor has asked you to eat your meals by 12 because of some medicine you have to take. If you are worried about hurting their sentiments with the truth, lie your way out of it. After a week or two, they will get used to eating without you. You can bond with them near the coffee machine, instead of over lunch.
