A female Canada age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I am madly in love with a guy who is 12 years older than me. He is Christian and so am I. We wouldn't have sex or even kiss before marriage but I just love being near him how do I let him know how I feel for him without making me look like a fool or talking to him I am usually not shy but around him I can't say anything.

A male reader, polarkite United States +, writes (29 February 2008):

polarkite agony auntThere are three patterns in human behavior that I think are affecting this situation:

1. The more you like someone, the more shy you become around them.

2. People behave conservatively when faced with risk.

3. People need to reconcile opposite views.

I think you like this guy so much that you don't want to risk the following:

1. the potential of being with him

2. the potential for undermining your Christian values

So, you tell yourself, when the *perfect moment* arrives, I'll talk to that person, or tell him my feelings. Well, I have important news, that perfect moment will never arrive.

I suggest you do two things:

1. Determine your values, irrespective of any other person.

2. Wet your appetite for risk and go for what *you want*.

Remember, there's no template for taking a risk. Risk simply has to be taken, and personal values need to be honored.
