A female United States age 51-59, anonymous writes:

Ok, I need some help. Been dating this guy for almost a year. We dont spend time at all together maybe once a month, he texts every day. He is very sweet one minute and angry the next especially when i question anything about the relationship and or why he doesnt spend time with me. I love him dearly and do not want to lose him. But I want to have a relationship with him. This isnt a realtionship at all. We do nothing together. I need to come up with a way to get him to talk and not shut down, or should I just move on. we are both almost 30.

OhGetReal agony auntHe is just using you and is not interested in a relationship with you. This is why he never spends time with you and gets angry when you question him about the relationship. He hasn't offered you a relationship, you are at best friends and texting every day is not sweet it is the most lazy, effortless form of communication there is.

You've wasted a year of your life on this guy and you are 30 years old. It's time to start dating other men and if I were you I would ask this one to lose your number.

This guy sounds like he has commitment issues to me, and won't be anything more than just a 'date'. At one year into a relationship, you should be more than dating, you should be spending a lot of time with each other and have a clear idea on where the relationship is heading. Not necessarily marriage, but certainly an idea on what you expect from each other, conversations about moving in and such. It seems to me like this guy only sees you as something casual. You want more. And since he won't talk about it, then time has come for you to move on.
