I feel like I'm back to competing with other women for the man I'm

deeply in love with. It's so physical, my heart feels like it's constantly breaking, and then healing when I see him, and then hurting again.

We were great once, but then he moved away from the relationship because he wasn't ready to commit further. Maybe I wasn't either, despite my feelings. Now I think we might have a chance if we could just get

unconfused. I've realized that compatibility is the answer rather than compromise, and I want to encourage this perpetual bachelor. Please does anyone have any advice how to go slowly enough to deepen things, yet not strangled by competing others who vie for his attention?

Help!!!

rockelle agony auntMy advice to you is just enjoy the time that you spend with him. If it is meant to be it will happen. If it doesn't fit do not try and force it.Competition can sometimes be a good thing, it may make him appreciate and enjoy you even more after a few bad dates. Just be cautious and keep in mind that he may never want to settle down but there are no guarantees in any relationship so I think it is worth a try.

Good Luck

eyeswideopen agony auntBe casual when you are with him, laugh alot, be positive. If he feels comfortable around you and has a great time he will want more. What ever you do, don't come across as needy or desperate. But also be prepared to find out that he is indeed a perpetual bachelor and may never want to commit to a relationship. In that case you may want to move on.
