DEAR DEIDRE: I FEEL so ashamed to admit it but I really fancy my aunt.
I’m 22 and she’s 38. She’s my mum’s sister. We’ve spent a lot of time together as she used to look after me at weekends sometimes.
I started to fancy her when I was about 15 and it’s never changed. I think she would be mortified if she knew about my feelings, though.
I should probably spend less time with her as I feel tormented but she’s asked me to stay for a few nights when her husband goes on a stag weekend.
She doesn’t like being in the house on her own but I’m going to find it so hard not to try and start something.
I’ve never had a proper relationship before and I don’t think this is helping.

DEIDRE SAYS: She is a blood relative so a relationship with her would be against the law.
Don’t torment yourself by staying over. Say you have something else already planned – and make sure you have.
You’re right that the real problem is you haven’t had a relationship so you’ve got “stuck”. My e-leaflet Finding The Love Of Your Life will help you meet someone outside the family.
