Question - (2 September 2009) 3 Answers - (Newest, 3 September 2009)
A female United States age 51-59, anonymous writes:

Dear Cupid,

I have been dating this guy for almost two months-

He has been really great, affectionate (says great things like: "you are my dream girl- everything about you is great!" - siting all characteristics about me he loves- physical and intellectually....)

We have been on some really great dates- dinner - drinks - always a gentleman-

Then i finally slept with him and there was a mishap-and he got all freaked out about it - "dont know why!- I must be nervous!- have not been with a girl in a long time! etc etc"

I was so nice- acted like no big deal-

I knew it was a bit awkward the way he was acting when i left the next morning and then called him to see how he was (Saturday) no call back- Sunday no call back-

He finally called me Sunday night saying he wishes we waited - yada yada and he needs more affection from me.....

So waited- next time was great but he said something i did not like when we got together- He said he is gonna be "available but not reliable" and that he is coming out of a 5 year relationship (she broke up with him a year ago) and felt like he did everything in the relationship.

Starting to back off now since i did not like that comment-

Am I making the right move?

Collaroy agony auntHi,

I am assuming you meant that he could not maintain an erection?

He would be very embarrassed by it, i honestly believe everything he has said since then is a defensive reaction as he is finding it hard to deal with his failure in the bedroom.

If you think he is worth it, then give him time. However it does look like he is carrying a couple of jumbo size suitcases full of emotional baggage with him. It will be very hard work, only you can decide whether it will be worth it.

good luck.
