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

what do i do i walk round with such a feeling of sadness and lonelyness in my heart. theirs one man i want put hes just not ready to settle down. weve been together 3 yrs on and off he did try but it always raises its ugly had that hes not ready. i love him dearly and i cant get him out of my mind.i just want him so much. we were in love and it feels like i missing a part of me. just as i try to move on he comes back saying i love u please give me a chance. i do honetly believe that have made him a better person. hes got a past hes slept with nearly hundred women. he doesnt show feelings or emotion. but i saw that from him. i really did. it just frustrates me so much cos i really could make him happy. and hes knoss it. he wouldnt get anyone who does what i did for him. so why would he want to settle for second best with someone else? its like he gets scared when he gets to close and backs off. but inside hes dying to let the real him out. but just cant quite do it. im trying to move on. but i miss him and think that im going to feel like this forever. in the back of my mind im hoping he will realise and come and get me. ive totally blocked him now with the hope he will be forced to make a decision. cos i hope that if he doesnt know what im doing it will get to him and make him see sence. altough im not doing anything just really unsettled with life. im so lonely and unhappy too.

....hmmm. i know you have done what i am about to say, but i will say it anyway.

Are you going to be 60 and saying this? no. so i think you need to be firm and say look that is it - either we start something now or its over forever - no contact. stop messing around with him.

You have one life and there are soo many other people out there. don't allow him to be reckless with your heart like this - you only have one heart.

A male reader, Prince Cassandra United States +, writes (7 August 2009):

He is distant of you and afraid. The way you described his character implies that perhaps he does love and want to be with you but, something is holding him back. It could be fear of hurting you, fear of letting go, or fear of unable of maintaining a healthy commitment. Try to give him some space and most of all, be kind to him. Be careful though, there's a fine line between being kind and generous. If he feels that you're being generous, it may make him feel pressured. Try to put this situation out of your thoughts for a while. Go outside and take a walk around the park. Find some friends and go to the movies. It is unhealthy for the mind to dwindle on feelings of anger and loneliness.
