Question - (2 September 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 3 September 2007)
A female United Kingdom, anonymous writes:

Hello, I need some advice regarding a guy I met on a dating site. We have had 3 dates, and in the past week he has been quite distant - and I found out why tonight (on our third date - a DVD at his place).

Basically, he has to go into residential alcoholism rehab in a few weeks time for a month. He had only committed to this within the last week, and said he felt he should tell me (as we were literally about to progress from just kissing!). He said he doesn't know what to do about 'us' because of the rehab (btw he is still going on other dates, but I am the only person he has seen more than once). I asked if he was saying he didn't want to see me again. He said he wasn't saying that - but that it was a weird situation and he would be away for a month. He was also concerned that the treatment would say he should not start a new relationship.

So I said it was his call, but that I could handle it if he wanted to carry on seeing me. He doesn't know what to do. At the end of the evening he said he would 'see me soon'.

I don't know what to do now - I like him, and I also feel for him because he has a trying time ahead. I had thought of emailing in a few days to say something along the lines of I like him and would like to get to know him better - and that I know it is a difficult time for him right now, so I am more than happy to go with the flow, if he feels the same way.

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Escalaya agony auntI'd say, try and meet with him more, hang out, not necissarily a date, just hanging out, like friends. Show him you want to be around, and that you're there to support him through his hard times. Show him you want to continue dating him, and progress farther in to a relationship.

I'm sure he'll choose to continue, or put it on hold until he's out of rehab.

best of luck, take care.
