DEAR DEIDRE: Ever since I moved into my student accommodation, I’ve had the hots for my roommate.
I want to ask her out, but I’m worried things will be awkward if she says no.
We’re both 19 and first-year students. I liked her from day one and was so disappointed when she told me she had a boyfriend back home.
Since October, we’ve become good friends. We talk, cook and have a real laugh together. Recently her boyfriend dumped her and she has been crying on my shoulder.
Now she seems happier, I want to tell her how I feel. But if she rejects me, living together will be unbearable.

DEIDRE SAYS: You’re wise to be cautious – especially as she is only recently single.
Take things slowly and keep talking. Gauge when she’s ready for another romance.
