reader, anonymous, writes (7 May 2009): It sounds like he hasn't emotionally committed to you. All of the speculation and worry can quickly turn you insane - I know! I've gotten some helpful advice on this issue:
Change your mental state to not depend on any man for stability. Live your life, love yourself, love people who love you and grow inside. Don't waste your precious time on Earth worrying about this guy's inner workings. If you can take the pressure off of yourself to figure out what he's thinking and just enjoy BEING with him, your emotional energy and maturity will radiate to him in a positive way. That kind of positive experience when he's around you can inspire him to commit to you because he loves the way he feels when he's with you. And bonus, you get to focus on you for a change, while you're simultaneously working on your relationship!
