DEAR DEIDRE: THERE is a young woman who catches the train every day from the station where I’m the guard – and I’m longing to ask her out.
She looks about 25 and is so pretty. I’m 23 and was immediately drawn to her.
I make a point of saying good morning as she passes through the station. She always gives me such a warm smile in return.
I’ve worked at the same station since I finished my apprenticeship.
The lads from the station tell me I should invite her for a drink but I’m worried that if she doesn’t like me, she’ll think I’m harassing her.
I could be reported to my manager for chatting to a passenger during work time.
I’m new to all this. I’ve never asked anyone out before. Can you help?
DEIDRE SAYS: Why not make small talk next time you see her. That way, she will know you are interested.
The fact she smiles is a good sign. Be ready for the fact that she may have a partner or may not want a relationship – but if you don’t ask her out, you’ll never know.
It couldn’t be seen as wasting time on the job, or harassment, simply to ask her to meet you for a coffee out of working hours.
You may be taking “customer relations” to the next level but what is wrong with that?
If there’s a spark when you chat, think about taking things further by arranging a date.

DEAR DEIDRE: A TEXT sent to my boyfriend by his ex said, “The sex was fantastic”.
Why won’t she leave us alone? She’s always been a pain.
Their relationship ended three years ago but she’s always messaging him and now I think they are having sex.
They have a son together. My boyfriend is 31 and I’m 28. His ex is 33.
I thought he’d never kept secrets from me but he left his phone on the kitchen table and something told me to look at his messages last weekend. His ex said she really missed the sex with him.
I scrolled through previous messages and it was obvious to me that they still sleep together when he visits his son, who is four.
I told him what I’d found and he denied it, saying he didn’t know what I was on about.
He won’t talk to me about her and doesn’t understand why I’m upset.
DEIDRE SAYS: His little boy is part of his life so you have to accept that but what you do not have to accept is his betrayal and gaslighting.
Tell him that, if the relationship is going to continue, ignoring this is not going to make the problem disappear.
Insist that from now on, he brings his child to your home instead and that he must not be with his ex alone. If he strays again, you need to move on.
My support pack called Cheating – Can You Get Over It? will give you additional advice.

DEAR DEIDRE: WORRYING about the whereabouts of my cat is keeping me up at night, as I often go outside to search for her.
I know it’s ridiculous and I’m not being rational but I am terrified she’ll get run over.
I’ve always lived with anxiety but it is now stopping me from sleeping, unless my cat is at home.
My mother died last year then I lost my job. I’m a woman of 42.
I know that this is the way life is, with its ups and downs, but I can’t stop worrying about everything.
After Mum passed away, my brother and I argued over the funeral arrangements. He’s not been to see me since.
I can’t shift this horrid feeling and can’t relax until my cat is home. She’s got a tracker on her collar but it doesn’t help.
I go into panic mode. I can’t bear the thought of losing her.
DEIDRE SAYS: It is natural to worry about our pets when they go out alone. My guess is that your anxiety comes from trauma that you lived with from an early age.
If your parents split up or there was family unhappiness, you may have taken it upon yourself to keep everyone together, even as a child. These feelings are hard to dispel.
As an adult, you still keep everything within your control so losing your mother and being made redundant will have been bitter pills to swallow.
Your focus is now on your cat and, as a pet owner, you are doing your absolute best to keep her safe.
But if you can keep her in during the evenings, it will relieve your anxiety in some way. She’ll get used to it.

DEAR DEIDRE: SEX with my best mate’s girlfriend, on a football club night away, was off the scale. Now I think I’m falling in love with her.
We are all volunteer coaches for a youth team. My mate and I coach the under-13 and 14s, respectively, and his girlfriend coaches the younger kids.
We are all friends and spend a lot of time together. He’s 27 and I’m 29. His girlfriend is 26.
She knows that her boyfriend is a serial cheat but she was always hoping he would “get it out of his system” and everything would be fine.
The thing is, he’s a player — he always has been and his reputation is known throughout the club.
Recently, my team and his girlfriend’s team were in a league where we went away for a tournament.
Some of the parents joined us but in the evening they all disappeared, leaving us two coaches playing some games and watching a film with the kids. It was a good night.
After the kids were in bed, we had a drink and then she blurted out that her friend had seen my mate kissing yet another girl in a club.
She became very emotional and my natural protective instinct kicked in. I tried to comfort her but soon became overcome with some very sexual feelings.
Within minutes we’d gone through to her bedroom and were hurriedly undressing each other.
We had a wild and passionate night. It was a moment of weakness I had, but should I confess to my mate about what I’ve done so that his relationship ends?
It would probably end my friendship with him too. But his girlfriend is wonderful and doesn’t deserve to be with somebody like him.

DEIDRE SAYS: Confessing all would relieve you of the burden of guilt but bring misery to your cheating friend, and now his cheating girlfriend too.
Honesty is often the best policy but, if telling all brings upset, why do it?
It’s doubtful his girlfriend will say anything to him.
If it looks as if she’s still going to stick with him, that is her decision but it isn’t going to help you.
Instead, get out with other friends and find somebody who is free to have a relationship with you.
My support pack, Finding The Love Of Your Life, is full of good tips to help you to find that special person.

LUKE LITTLER confessed that he is lazy after James Wade levied an accusation at his fellow darts stars.
The Nuke gave an honest verdict of himself after crashing out of the World Masters, losing 4-2 to Jonny Clayton.
Littler, 18, played well but was no match for The Ferret, who booked a meeting with Dimitri van den Bergh in the semi-final.
After the match Littler responded to claims made by Wade that darts players can be quite lazy.
He said: “I didn’t see it at the time but he’s right – I am lazy in the practice room.
“I don’t have to practice for hours and hours. You know yourself as a player when you’ve practised for that long, you are warmed up and ready to go.”
Wade actually picked out Littler as an exception to his claim, suggesting he and Luke Humphries are “amazing”.
The 2014 World Masters champion said: “I don’t believe anyone is amazing, apart from probably the Lukes (Littler and Humphries), and after that they can be quite lazy.
“They are not Phil Taylors and not Michael van Gerwens at their best, but they are phenomenal players and there are gaps in the market.”
Littler reached the quarter-final of the World Masters by thrashing Wade 4-0.

The darts sensation averaged 105.12, 107.59 and 108.50 in his three matches yet somehow still lost to Clayton.
After beating Wade he said of the match: “You always expect the best game out of James. But I’m thankful for him not turning up tonight.
“But the 105 would have taken some beating and I was good on the doubles that I’m really happy with.
“I just wanted to get the job done. James didn’t play very well. But tonight wasn’t his day.”
FANS joked that Pep Guardiola was disappointed after Kai Havertz’s shocking miss against his Manchester City side.
Havertz missed an absolute sitter to double Arsenal‘s lead during their Premier League clash at the Emirates.
Martin Odegaard punished a Man City mix-up to put Mikel Arteta’s side 1-0 up inside two minutes.
And more kamikaze defending from the Citizens saw calamity at the back just over 20 minutes later.
Stefan Ortega fed Maeteo Kovacic on the edge of his own box but Declan Rice brilliantly pressed and won the ball away from the Croatian.
A loose ball fell to Havertz in acres of space but the German international fluffed his lines after taking a touch and lining himself up.
The 25-year-old somehow rolled it wide from 15 yards, with the goal gaping and covered his face with his shirt in shame.
And fans have had a field day online.
One joked: “Even Guardiola is angry that Havertz missed the open goal!”
A second said: “Even Pep can’t believe Havertz missed that.”

https://twitter.com/SkySportsPL/status/1886096995439218978A third added: “Havertz’s miss so terrible even Guardiola was disappointed 
.”
Arsenal’s need for an out-and-out goalscoring striker has been well documented this season.
Arteta is desperate to bring in a forward before Monday’s deadline, after having a £60m bid for Ollie Watkins rejected by Aston Villa.
The Spaniard needs to bolster a squad that has suffered big injuries in attacking areas to the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka.
Last month, Havertz was subjected to vile abuse from a selection of Arsenal fans after missing several chances in their FA Cup third round defeat to Manchester United.
