Dear MIRIAM: Love's so one-sided.Byline: Dr MIRIAM STOPPARD Dear Miriam I'VE been going out with a man I adore a·dore v. a·dored, a·dor·ing, a·dores v.tr. 1. To worship as God or a god. 2. To regard with deep, often rapturous love. See Synonyms at revere1. 3. for six months but he wants to keep things casual and won't commit because he says he doesn't want to hurt or disappoint dis·ap·point v. dis·ap·point·ed, dis·ap·point·ing, dis·ap·points v.tr. 1. To fail to satisfy the hope, desire, or expectation of. 2. me. He likes the sex and the fun we have but he isn't prepared to get serious. He's 22 and I'm 19. What else do I need to do? Why doesn't he want me the way I want him? AT least he's not stringing you along. You know where you stand with him and, for your own sanity and feelings, you have to listen to his words not what you want to hear. He isn't ready and doesn't want to hurt you by lying and saying that he is. It's not about you. It's about him. |
