A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Okay, here's the deal. I'm basically with this boy.. but were not exactly official! he claims he wants to take this slow.. which is completely understandable being that we both just got out of something hurtful and we've been at it for 2 months now. But the situation is that I'm with him and I'm not holding back. Him, on the other hand, admits to having his guard up. I'm trying, and at times he is also but I feel like I want to give up and that maybe he doesn't care{which gets him mad everytime i say it.) I'm not an insecure person but I wonder what's on his mind.. if maybe he just doesn't feel what I feel for him..what can i do?

Relax, take it easy. Get to know him better. Allow things to develop at it's own pace. The more you are trying to rush things, the more he will retract and be holding back. Just be yourself and enjoy each other. Allow him to get to know you better and to be more comfortable with you. Don't put pressure on him, that is a sure way to loose him or to keep him at a distance. Have patience.
